Teddy kgb Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Most people would stop working and shut down their business. See Venezuela Yes they would....and then guess what? another person would open it back up...for less and pay the employees more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rito Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Yes they would....and then guess what? another person would open it back up...for less and pay the employees moreIs that why inflation is 1000% a year and an egg costs $12 in Venezuela?

Teddy kgb Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Keep in mind that when the owner of micro soft closes his doors that his net worth is seized so im pretty sure that would be an incetive to keep the doors open.... 10 million or nothing is not a tuff choice..

Teddy kgb Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Is that why inflation is 1000% a year and an egg costs $12 in Venezuela? when the medium income goes from 35k a year to 120k then i really dont give a fvck if a dozen eggs cost $12.....anyway, why would it?

Teddy kgb Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Why do you guys want the rich to get richer and the poor poorer? rito already said it results in needing armed guards.....bottom line is nobody needs over 10M net worth and everyone deserves a descent living wage as long as they work...keep ion mind they still have to maintain employment or its back to welfare which stays the same.... 135k minimum for 50 weeks a year working and that would get the Blacks off the couch...

Teddy kgb Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 there is a reason Mrs Jackson stays on welfare, its because it would cost her more to pay for a sitter then what minimum wage pays....give her 135k instead and she goes to work and becomes a great roll model for her kids instead of a democratic leach for votes...

jasson621 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Teddy it won't work there will be zero reason for anyone to maintain a business under your plan, everything would be government run/owned and we know how that works( it doesn't).

So an owner who makes 20m would not pay extra to his workers and make Only 5m instead he would shut the buisness down and do what? go to work for someone else for 35k a year? why wouldnt he except 5m? out of pride? hed be biting off his nose to spite his face... and like i told rito.....someone would step up and gladly run the buisness for 5m....the biz aint going anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy kgb Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 How many managers at subway could run the whole thing? so when a guy who sells his 100 Sw's because he needs 20m not 10m, how many of these managers take one on them self? It would work.....problem is everyone wants to reward the guy who accumulated 100 Sw"s because he earned it...which he did, to the tune of making 10m a year and not the minimum 135k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rito Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 If I make 135k guaranteed. Do you think I'm going to fetch your burger and fries in a timely matter. Or just stand around all day? Current size of US economy would make that # way smaller too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy kgb Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 make no mistake it will happen, if you think things will continue like this without a revolution youre crazy......what are 100,000 truckers going to do for work after their trucks are driven by robots in less then 5yrs? really, where are they going to find work?

Teddy kgb Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Would LeBron play basketball for 10m or flip burgers for 135k? Hes not an owner but a good example here.....would he quit basketball because it only paid 10m a year not 25? Things would pretty much stay the same except the poor would move to middle class and thats the answer we need... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCD Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 You should probably just stop posting you're such a nitwit. You can't make up how dumb you are. This has got to be a troll.

Teddy kgb Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 You guys are fvcking brainwashed......do any of you know how much a billion dollars is? nobody should be a billionaire and theres over 1,000 of them with some on their way to a trillion. 500 million? hell no, why? Make it maybe 50m Liquid with a 10m yearly income and lets build up the poor to a working class.... What we have now aint working so what do some of you suggest? besides armed guards like rito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVU Posted January 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 communism in it's purest form would be perfect here in the US. Max salaries could be capped at 10m and lowest salaries at 100k. That would bridge the gap and I agree with Teddy that no one needs to make more than 10 million. There are companies nearing bankruptcy paying out 8 figure bonuses. Salary levels don't mirror productivity here like Rito seems to believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Hoffa Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Socialism or communism stifles inovation while profits stimulate inventiveness. There is no need to punish success.
