Of course, businessmen are a prime example of how they are not apart from the community in which they do business, and how their own success is dependent upon the success of others in the community. How can they depend on a workforce which is semi-literate but well-versed in the modern schemes of self-esteem? How can they manage the costs of doing business when a large chunk of their medical benefits they and their employees have to pay are going for the medical costs of self-inflicted diseases which shouldn't have to be a burden on society at all? Then there's the costs of treating all the emotional problems of the children growing up in broken homes, where both parents are not there for them. Again, our society has a whole bunch of needs, and we really can't afford to allow this moral-liberalism to go unchecked. Some businesses are thriving in this moral slide, the abortion industry, the pornographers, the mass media and entertainment industries. But really they are passing on the costs of doing their nefarious business onto others, which should not be tolerated.
Actually, every human being is corrupt.
I agree. I think this guy has a point. Business is an essential part of our nation. But business has run amok, its controllers only interested in extreme profit, no other considerations. Its gutting this country. I'm told that gut wounds are the worst, resulting in a long, painful death. Thats what is happening to our country. We are being gutted by the extreme greed of the top. Add to that the Left's indoctrination of our society by their elites and we have a lethal mix, IMHO, none of it good for the survival of this once great land.
The fatal flaw of all democracies is that eventually, the net tax consumers outnumber the net tax producers. That's why the nation's net tax producers are over $6 trillion in debt.
The nation's founders were completely correct in restricting the franchise to a minority of the populace.
Democracy is the reason the nation's net tax producers are $6 trillion in debt.
Thanks for one of the more memorable quotes.. I am going to remember this quote and use it.
Excellent observation.
Interesting discussion in the thread, to say the least.
I hope that someday you have the opportunity to have dealings with some of the "elite", and have something of considerable value up for contention. Let me give you a handy dandy phrase to remember while you are being, ahem, "educated".
"No candy, no flowers, no lube". This is the motto of the American ruling classes. Screw them all.
