Profit is theft. Profit is the stealing from the customer whatever percentage is more than the product or service took to make.

Boy you are a moron. If someone completes a transaction that means that both parties had something the other wanted.

If I go get a $1.00 hamburger it means that I wanted that hamburger more then I wanted my $1. The store wanted my $1 more then they wanted the hamburger.

Sure the store makes a monetary profit in the difference between cost to produce and money taken in, but BOTH parties, me and the store, actually profit in utility in that both parties got something they wanted more then the thing they had. I could go buy that .75 burger but the quality sucks so it's lower on my util scale then my .75.

What is theft is saying that all stores have to sell their hamburgers for $.75...equal to their cost to produce.

In this case the consumer is the utility theft. He was willing to pay $1.00 for a better burger but only has to pay .75. That's a .25 discrepancy. The store lost that .25 utility because they weren't willing to sell the burger for .75 but were forced to.

That is fascist communism.

Pearls before swine.

If leftists actually understood economics, they wouldn’t be the ignorant commies that they are.

A couple of things you CAN ask of an ignocommie -

“what makes anyone want to produce ANYTHING if they don’t gain from it?”

“And what are you proposing to do if they refuse to produce a product or service for no gain?”

You’ll quickly reveal their dark core with these questions.

Also, in a Capitalistic system, the consumer makes the choices, the businesses only provide the product and service, and no one is holding a gun to their head to buy the product or service.
That is why it is called " FREE MARKET SYSTEM " .
When the consumer agrees to buy a product, has thought it over, checked other sales of the same product, and comes to a conclusion that the same product or service at a certain store or business is cheaper or has the same quality of service, then, they will agree with the service or product provider to buy it.
Then they and go into a contract that they both agree on... in some cases, it's called a sales contract, in other cases , it's just a sales receipt, but, the costumer agreed to but that product or service at that certain price.
That system works, and that is the beauty of that system, it's a free market system.
If we go to a communistic system, there will be more of a great disparity or gulf between the rich ( rich wealthy communist ruling leaders, stolen goods and money from the poor by the elitist communist leaders ) and poor, shortages beyond what the worse we have ever seen even with a free market system, and poor quality of goods and services.
There will not be a middle class with a communist system, there will only be the wealthy communist ruling elitist leadership, and THE POOR.
What kind of fairness and equality is in that ? NYET !!!
At least with a free market ( Capitalistic system ) the poor have the opportunity to move up and better themselves.
