This is why I can’t understand how most here are anti-abortion. Do you really want commies to breed more commies?

This is exactly what the democrats are after. “Profit” is a four letter word.

My husband has relatives (cousin & husband) that we used to see quite regularly.

A few years back at dinner, she went on a tangent about corporate salaries, etc. that these guys made too much money and that was so wrong and something should be done about it. Blah, blah, blah.

I finally had enough (had promised hubby many times that I would bite my tongue), but enough was enough. I asked her who would decide who made "too much money". Was she going to decide, how about me ? Heaven forbid it was the government to decide. How about if I decide that she makes too much money ? She can take a paycut.

Needless to say, she was had no response to my questions and sat there speechless. Dinner ended rather quickly after that and the next time we saw them (about a year or so ago), we had a surprisingly pleasant dinner since she chose to keep her stupid comments to herself (but still definitely a zero zombie).

Liberals want to control EVERYTHING from how much water you flush in your toilet, to what you eat, to where you will live and how much you will make at work.

Do these people understand that corporate/business taxes are based on profit?

who want to see a cap or ban on corporate profits.

1) a profit is an accounting concept that is morally neutral. For an individual industry, it is the difference between sales revenues minus costs. Also, for the economy as a whole, aggregate profit is the sum of net consumption plus net investment.

2) Profit motive is beneficial to a free society because it:

2.1) is a natural consequence of and depends on private ownership of the means of production and private property rights.
2.2) is the foundation of the price system and rational economic planning
2.3) gives consumers the power to determine the relative size of the various industries
2.4) keeps the various branches of industry in proper balance
2.5) makes businessmen act as agents of the consumers
2.6) operates contrary to doctrine of planned obsolescence
2.7) promotes safety voluntarily rather than through force
2.8) represents pursuit of material self-interest under division of labor and money
2.9) underlies the connection between process and costs of production
2.10) underlies continuous economic progress
2.11) underlies the free market’s allocation principles
2.12) underlies the uniformity-of-price principles
2.13) underlies the uniformity-of-profit principle

Stunning. This is literally strangling the goose that laid the golden egg. And when I say ‘literally’, I mean ‘figuratively’.

The leftists always target companies with “excessive” profits.....like Exxon.

Yet Apple with its HUGE cash hoard gains nary a peep from these same people.

I’ve said it before and l’ll keep saying it. Liberals are no different than terrorist, they tell you what to eat, drive, where to live and they demand totat submission to there god, which is big goverment, and if you dont adhere to there bible your a bigoted racist sinner who needs to be dealt with. Truth be told they would kill everyone of us if they could, just like another tyrant did, several tyrants for that matter.

Is there any question that these are really Communists. The amusing part is that every one of their leaders makes a fortune. Clinton, Gore, Pelosi, Kerry all cashed in. I wonder if they’d be interested in giving up their profits.

They Are going into a frenzy and their true colors are showing. Soon, conservatives and corporations will be hated and considered a hindrance to the liberal goal. I read this section of a hitler speech today

..”By so doing we chose a path between two extremes. The one of these extremes was holding our people: It was the liberal-individualist extreme which made the individual not only the centre of interest but also the centre of all action. On the other hand, our people were tempted by the theory of universal humanity which alone was to guide the individual. Our ideals were between the two: we saw the people as a community of body and soul, formed and willed by Providence. We are put into this community and within it alone can we form our existence. We have consciously subordinated all considerations to this goal, have shaped all interests according to it, and all our actions. Thus the National-Socialist world of thought arose which has overcome individualism, but not by cutting down individual capacities or individual initiative, only by asserting that the common interest is superior to individual liberty and the initiative of the individual. This common interest regulates and orders, if necessary, curtails, but also commands.
