Lol, he is being so hypocritical.

I'm not so sure he was. He went on to say you don't realize how much power you have, which makes me think he's referring to people as individuals. But anyways, my point is even if we as a society supposedly can regulate the free market by our decisions to buy certain products, one...

You have a nominal amount of control that is almost non existent. You are one pawn in the system. Your decision has almost no impact whatsoever on the economy b/c you are one out of millions. Your decision not to buy from a company will not change anything.

Well we need some system to determine how much employees get paid. There is a finite amount of money and there has to be some way of allocating it. So you don't think we should pay people based on the work they do? Yea maybe ur right. Maybe we should allocate money based on penis size...

I'm not saying that this will ever happen. I know that Congress isn't going to implement a salary cap. I think they should though. We are talking about hypothetically what would be best, not what is likely to happen. And just b/c I am going to be a lawyer doesn't mean I will be chasing...

good quote

Lol, you act like everyone who supports any communist viewpoints is a pathetic lazy fuck who is jobless and living in his parent's basement. This is not true at all, I support some of these viewpoints and I'm not living in my parent's basement. I'm in my last year of law school and should be...

What I don't understand is how almost everyone in American public supports the current capitalist system we have and hates communism so much, when they are the ones being hurt by communism. Our capitalist system helps almost no one. It just allows the rich to exploit everyone. The people...

I would agree that it somewhat happens in the real world. People in a company who have more education, people who work harder, people who's jobs are more difficult, get paid more money. However, I don't think that the current capitalist system employed in the US properly accounts for the...

You guys are retarded. I know the contract is determined when the person gains employment, But HOW should the pay rate in employee's contracts be determined? You don't think that people should be paid for the value of their work? Instead the people in positions of power should be able to...

But how should this preagreed amount of money be determined? Shouldn't an employee be paid based on the value of the work he is doing (how hard a person is working, how difficult the work is, what it contributes to society, etc.)? And if we all agree on this then it would make sense to determine...

Well then how do you believe we as a society should determine how much people get paid? Shouldn't people be paid based on how hard they work, how difficult the work they are doing is, what they are contributing to society, and factors like these? Businesses generate a set amount of...

Exactly. Didn't read the entire thread, but from the posts of urs I did read it looks like I completely agree with you.

Just because a person's idea/business/etc. is generating money and he isn't taking this money from other people, doesn't mean the wealth can't be redistributed through regulation. For example, if a business owner is generating tons of money and is personally being paid $51 million a year, if...
