Capitalism is NOT Democratic: Democracy is NOT Capitalist

And plenty of people can't add $8 let alone $15 per hour.

Or answer a direct question after being given more opportunities than they deserved.

Ever happened? Probably has. Do I think the minimum wage has been more beneficial? Absolutely.

How do you measure that?

What institution prints the money that individuals and businesses use to pay their taxes?

Private banks did it until 1914.

Private banks did it until 1914.

With mixed results.

 

[bripat9643]

With mixed results.

The dollar was worth twice as much in 1914 as it was in 1789 when the Constitution determined its value in terms of gold.

During that period the United States economy grew to be the largest and wealthiest on Earth.

What's "mixed" about it?

So who ever can produce the best lies, one liners, and scream the loudest & keep us divided with party favorites who have less and less knowledge of the job their sent to do; that's who wins?

Banks printed their own notes.
If you held a note from the Bank of Biden and it failed, what was your recourse?

A banks reputation for sound banking practice was widely known. You had more recourse with private banks than you have with the federal reserve. In the former case, you could decline to use the notes of irresponsible banks. In the later case, you have no recourse.

Labor often times is not mutually agreed to, one side offers a wage the other often times doesn't have a choice.

There's always a choice.

There really is very little Communism in America, Just one of the newer buzz words to help divide America. What the hell it worked for a while starting in the 50s

ROFL. Our public universities are infest with communists in all the social sciences and humanities. They are busy cranking out dedicated Marxists by the truck load.

Really? Everyone knew every bank? Hundreds of them? Thousands?
And yet, banks failed and noteholders lost it all.

You had more recourse with private banks than you have with the federal reserve.

Why do you feel that? Has a federal reserve note ever failed?

In the former case, you could decline to use the notes of irresponsible banks.

Too late, if you already held their note.

Nope, the employee often times does not have the means to negotiate employment terms against a large employer.

Lots of large employers forcing you to work for them?

 

[OKTexas]

Then he goes on down the road, simple. I've walked out of many interviews where the money didn't meet my expectations, no since wasting their time or mine.

Nope, the employee often times does not have the means to negotiate employment terms against a large employer.

So what? They still have a choice.

 

[Soupnazi630]

Labor often times is not mutually agreed to, one side offers a wage the other often times doesn't have a choice.

It is still mutually agreed to even if one feels one has no choice.

Why anyone would choose to believe we are not a democracy is astounding.

It is not belief it is fact we are not a democracy.

To claim otherwise is ignorant..

And most Americans have benefited greatly from collective bargaining whether they were in a union or not.

Union propaganda

n economics, specifically macroeconomics, the term value added refers to the contribution of the factors of production (i.e. capital and labor) to raising the value of the product and increasing the income of those who own said factors.

Who decides how much value labor adds to the product, owners or shareholders?
