People who make America an Awesome Country

That's cuz you dumb. Socialism would have forced him to give his company to his employees. He did it cuz it was his company to do with as he chose. He chose to give it away rather than sell it. He is a good guy. You are an idiot.

Fail.


This is an example of capitalism evolving and progressing into communism. Interesting that he waited until he was plenty wealthy and probably didn't have too many more years to go.

Interesting that he waited to give his business away until he retired? Why is that 'interesting'? Personally, I think it's more interesting that he chose not to sell it or give it to his children or grandchildren.

I think you're just a sad person who is jealous of the ability of other people to create their own wealth. I feel kind of sorry for you - must be sad to fail constantly or is it that you just don't try?

You make an assertion regarding what other people think. Then you say you don't speak for anyone but yourself. Then, when called on it, you resort to an ad hom?

I made no assertion. Fool.

Exactly, he rejected further capitalist greed and 'family values' nepotism (both hallmarks of the Right, which you've espoused numerous times) in order to hand the company to those who made his success possible: the labourers. Instead of further pursuing his greed or letting the working class (proletariat) fuck off, he created a worker-owned company, further guiding his society into the socialist age and rewardig the labourers upon whom he'd depended.

This is Leftism. This is socialism. This is communism. This is what you rail against constantly yet praise when you see it in action. This is the natural emergence of communism in America. This is progress.

For anyone who thinks the private sector is just a bunch of evil moneygrabbers who don't care about anyone but themselves (that'll be many whining liberals), here is a great example of the kind of people run businesses in this country.

You don't speak for me CG, I happen to be a business owner in the private sector. The man you describe here is a shining example of what capitalism should be.

The problem is those who have already fulfilled every need that money can buy, but continue accumulating wealth through exploitation (the Waltons being public enemy #1). When you have billions of dollars, I'm not sure what you do with another $100 Million. It's a sickness, wealth for the sake of wealth, and in the last 30 years it has delivered sickening body blows to the now barely existent middle class.

I agree with all you said. I have issues with exactly what you said, and am not anti people making money, as much as many conseratives love to claim that about liberals.

I don't claim to speak for anyone but myself - unlike some. Fact is, it is our right to work to become wealthy, and to do with our wealth as we see fit. If I want to be a wealth person and succeed, it is my business how much money I earn and what I do with it. It is not anyone else's right to say I have too much and take it from me.

The reason that the middle class is struggling is from too much government, not the wealth of others.

Um, you claimed to speak for liberals in your first response

You simply do not know what a true liberal is.

I have an honest question for the conservatives here; Where are we on isolationism? How do you guys feel about bringing jobs back, either through tarriffs on imports or on making laws to prohibit outsourcing, or any other means?

Isolationism would encourage same by other nations.

Our nation should, instead, encourage and incentivize individuals entering fields that keep the USA in the lead, globally.

First and foremost is education. All efforts and initiatives aimed at 'equity' or 'social justice' should be shelved in the interests of achievement and performance. BTW, it is this area that President Obama is preforming best, far surpassing any other foreign or domestic policies.

Am I reading too much into your post, or are you unaware that the United States of America is the number one exporter in the world, far outstripping number two?

1. The US is the 3rd largest exporter of goods (8.3%) , after Germany ( 9.5) and China (8.7)
2. The US is the largest exporter of services (13.9 %) followed by UK (8.3) and Germany ( 6.6)
3. Taken as a total of goods and services, the US is more than twice as prolific as the next nearest nation.
