Brett Favre - Nancy New - Phil Bryant Welfare Scandal

[WoodsmanVol]

Based off history, a significant portion of the push for the formation of labor unions was to keep jobs among non-immigrant, white Americans...but oh, that greedy capitalism, am I right?

Based on history, union formation was a direct result of greedy employers under paying workers, discarding employee safety in the workplace, and even cheating them out of what they were paid. By requiring they make certain purchases at company owned businesses. Those greedy capitalists, right?

As a matter-of-fact, the famed Song by Tennessee Ernie Ford, Sixteen Tons is a result of these abuses. And again, you should read up on the Redneck Mine War.

In your holy zeal to defend capitalism, which I don't disagree with, you ignore, by ignorance or arrogance, that I'm saying greed within capitalism is what contaminates it. Christianity is fine too, unfortunately, hypocrisy, money-focused greed, historical sexual exploitation, and other human fallacies make it less than it otherwise should be. Which shows that the greed is not necessarily limited to money. But well do I know, one can't speak truth to those who reject it automatically due to cult-like loyalty.

The point is that unions are greedy too. Every grouping, system, society, etc. that you can imagine has greed in it, so of course there are greedy capitalists.

Capitalism has many flaws and it is far from perfect, and greedy people take advantage of others in capitalism, just like they do in any other system. But capitalism is the best system of production, and greed is harnessed for good in that regard. If you want more in a capitalist society, you can go out there and get it and keep it, and the most common way to do this is by making art or useful things or serving others in some way. That's the beauty of capitalism. To improve your station in a communist society, do nothing because it will likely get you to the same spot. I hope you know important people. Worried about your business's future in a capitalist society? Just innovate (in other words continue to improve your value proposition that you offer the public). Worried about your business's future in a socialist society, I hope you have a good relationship (lobbying $) with the regulators. Because everybody is greedy and thus every system is seriously flawed.

SIGH! If you had paid attention to my posts, you'd see I pretty much said the same thing. AND, my point is just to needle folks the capitalism is perfect and can do no wrong crowd. But if you want to take this stuff personally, there you go. No doubt, I'll needle them again, I'm just ornery that way. And I'll needle people who attack capitalism too.
