fish7718 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 The point is, people continue to protest these huge corporations but what they don't understand is how many products, services and jobs these people produce for people. It makes no sense.The thing is the money ends up going to them, and in capitalism, there needs to be a steady flow of money to keep the economy afloat, when the mega rich would rather just sit on billions as opposed to putting back into the economy and making more jobs with it, we get into trouble. Of course mega rich arent the only problem, government is more to blame. However they could really help and they refuse to. It's only right to give back to the nation that it so you can get megarich as opposed to shit on it and watch it suffer, but your right, it's their money, do what they like with it..

EastCoastNiner Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Anything you buy from any company (whether it's Apple or Acer) is obviously going to come from someone deeper in wealth than you are. Did you make your computer from the dirt, trees and grass in the backyard of the house that you built yourself (with wood you cut on your own)? What exactly is your point?

EastCoastNiner Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 These huge corporations are outsourcing most of these jobs which does nothing for our economy. I know, we should just give them all to illegal immigrants. That's the perfect solution! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trutrojan8 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Romney: 'I'm not concerned with the very poor' Is Mitt Romney the guy you were talking about with Person A?I know ECN thinks Brandon is like Skip Bayless.

EastCoastNiner Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Thought it was crystal clear, given the question Flash asked. You can figure it out. I didn't notice you were referring to him as I didn't sere his post about Apple at first. I don't really agree with him about that either. Wtf does that have to do with what I said. Instead of sending them over seas, you can keep the jobs here and just give them to illegals like Obama wants to do. I know ECN thinks Brandon is like Skip Bayless. ECN it seems like you're having some selective amnesia here... What are you trying to get at here? If you can show me where I've ever said I support Mitt Romney for this election, I'd love to see it. However, I'm assuming your point is that he's a conservative and you're assuming I'm voting for a conservative, and probably him because he's the leading candidate? I know the point you're trying to make, but I don't agree with everything he says. Hell, I may not even like him much, but he very well may be a better option than Obama. At least in keeps the technology in the US and creates more jobs here The purpose of a business is to create a profit. If the business can make a bigger profit by outsourcing jobs, more power to them. Would it be nice to have the jobs in the U.S.? Yes, it would, but a business needs to make money.

EastCoastNiner Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 That is really all I am saying lol.... the immigration thing just came out of nowhere It had to to with todays decision by Obama about letting illegal immigrants stay here. It wasn't clear when I said it, but that's what I was getting at. . It was more of a poke at Obama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then why do most of you assume that the rich are mostly conservative......you know, the same people you seem to disagree with? I think I'll go to the store today and see how many people are buying lottery tickets and alcohol with their welfare checks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 I think I'll go to the store today and see how many people are buying lottery tickets and alcohol with their welfare checks. You are so simple minded and ignorant with your over-generalizations of people on welfare. 3/4 of people on welfare truly need it to survive and they do use it for the orrect things. Like anything with such a huge pool of people participating, there is going to be a large chunk who abuse the priviledge of welfare, but it is my believe they are in the minority and it does more good than bad for the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll go to the store today and see how many people are buying lottery tickets and alcohol with their welfare checks.Six figures isn't considered "rich" to me. It's definitely a great living, no doubt about it, but when I think of rich, I think of a person making over 250K...or a household that makes 250K. Someone who makes 100,000$ a year isn't "rich" IMO. Especially if they have a family to support. Edited June 17, 2012 by JYD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
