Governments exist to provide services. Our government provides a vast array of services, and those services are exploited by corporations each and every day to help them operate profitablity (example: money supply regulation). Hell, THINK about what you say, man.Nice dodge, but you implied stockholders have no right to the profits because they provided no work towards the companies production. Government provided no work towards the companies production, why should they share in the profits?
This isn't structurally a complete sentence, and I don't actually know how to respond to it.And stockholders, via the initial capital provided by the stock buy, as well as the increase in stock value caused by its desireablilty (which allows the company to sell its held stock at a higher value, and thus raise more capital).
Stockholders aren't necessary for production--they are an artifact of this economic system, which is actually a modernization of feudalism.Stockholders have an even larger vested interest than employees. Employees can leave if a company goes under. A stockholder, unless they managed to sell early enough, is left with a scrap of paper.
Feudalism did not give us the greatest living standards in the history of man. Capitalism did.
Fail.
