Does that calculus apply to corporate losses too?
They’re already shared with workers and they’re called jobs.
They’re shared again and their called taxes.
If they’re shared again it’s called communism.
Proof positive the lad is a Marxist - in case anyone cares or is watching and listening
“Corporate profits must be ‘shared with workers’..”
I thought they were already doing that. I always called it a paycheck and a job?
Fixed it.
If corporate profits aren't spread around enough it's because the banks and other government favored institutions own the majority of the shares. Maybe if the banks, fascist foundations, and "educational" institutions, were all in trouble and had to sell off shares there would be more people getting shares of the profits.
Alas, we'll never know because benevolent Saucer-ear keeps pumping money into the banks. Bailing them out on the mortgage derivatives was bad enough, but putting a transfusion bag the Fed keeps full in them is another.
Nothing prevents employees from owning stock in the companies that they work for.
In fact, many companies have employee stock owner benefit plans.
If theres no profit, theres no jobs.
If they don’t share profit with shareholders, then why would anyone invest any money
So if Obama get his way of making sure all profit goes back to workers. Then what we will have is less jobs and less investment
When will he appoint his “Profit Control Czar”?
I would close the business and fire every worker first!!!
We need to start thinking about after Obama has been replaced by a Republican president in January 2013.
Never mind Obama.
What are WE going to do, to bring back American jobs?
They are - in the form of new jobs, raises and benefits.
WHEN are Americans going to WAKE UP and realize we have a Marxist in the White House?
Nobody will take the risk of investing in a business if they do not think they have a chance of making a profit. In effect Obama is saying to business owners: "If you invest and lose you lose. And if you invest and win you will still lose because we in Washington will have the final say in how much, if any, you get to keep." This is like something out of Atlas Shrugged.
This kind of stupid talk can only do more damage. And if Obama tries to force this through, by executive order or some such nonsense, then a lot of businesses will simply close shop. Who knows? Maybe that's what he wants. Nobody can be this stupid.
Andnow , I suppose, the government will propose mandating that people start businesses.
Lenin would be truly proud of our punk president.
So that means Soetoro will redistribute his millions of earnings with the people, too, right?
Is it worth noting that Obama is being misquoted on this?
always the good commie isn’t he?
Ok.. How about sharing the employers cost of say, social security and other employer tax liabilities with the employee. Since SS is broken, that should be easy, why pay into it. The truth is, it costs money to hire employees due to the expansive government. I estimate about 10 percent. So how about giving everybody a TEN percent raise by getting rid of that.
Are the workers stockholders?
No! Then they have no right to share in any profits, because they having nothing at risk.
