The Rape of the American Worker

[theHawk]

It should be noted, the US Stock Market should be illegal, as the profits made, deny the American workers of wages and benefits they should otherwise receive for their hard work & dedication to the corporations.

The second point is that stock investments rarely enter the US economy, so the stockholders tie up trillions of dollars (locked away in safe deposits/etc) that should be circulating in Americas economy, and available from banks for business and other types of loans that would stimulate the economy.

Third, corporations are allowed to start these illegal stocks to gain capitol, that they may not deserve, and the very reason we have US Banks in this country. They avoid the scrutiny of financial experts who should review their portfolio and see their real worth and debt, etc., necessary for a bank loan to hand out capitol. In the end when they close the doors, the workers & families again suffer the losses.

Here is what we are actually talking about. Off the sweat & blood of workers backs, the NYSE turned $18.86 Trillion in 2009, and the US Stock Exchange turned $63 Trillion. so how much was the American worker Left in gross income? $14,502,626.00. It should be a fucking crime.

Capitalists always talk this bullshit line about working hard, but don't tell you where your hard worked wages & benefits actually went to. While most Americans live one paycheck away from poverty, the rich are scratching the dollars off the workers back. Based on this information, I draw the conclusion the Stock Market is unAmerican and a National Security threat to our economy and way of life. These rich parasites contribute absolutely nothing to America and should outlaw the entire scam.

Yup, if only all the world did it like North Korea.

While there is gross inequity in the way profit is distributed, throwing the baby out with the bathwater simply is not the answer. Capitalism was the "Liberal" reaction to Aristocracy back in the day. Messy as it is, it allows upward mobility to those that otherwise would not have access to accruing wealth. The problem is, that much like fire, it can get out of control. Hence the need for a good regulatory structure to foster an equitable system that rewards hard work and innovation.
