Re: I Was Just Getting Started
Since when is profits evil? That is like saying water is evil. It makes no sense. Now if I force you head under the water and drowned you - is the water which you were drowned in evil? If I take water to the thirsty and give them drink, is the water now good?
This is what you stated - "ILLNESS should NOT be FOR PROFIT. There lies the problem." and "I am ashamed as how my country has and continues to "create wealth" or try to retain it."
If I misunderstood then let it be.
Currently - Big business runs government - the revolving door...
I'm sure many people would agree with you and I think that is what certain politicians want you to believe. To a certain extent, some of their policies to get into politics but so do the policies of the environmentalists for example. Not that I am totally against environmentalists. If big business ran government, then how come they can't shut up the environmentalists? How come lawyers can write legislation so you can sue a big business like McDonalds for spilled coffee? Can't a business run government stop that legislation?
so the main reason in todays times are they cut prices below their costs to kill the competition - then double the price once they have a monopoly. Good for business - monopoles. Not good for the working man...
I suppose you know a better economic system. I suppose government doesn't do anything to get in the way of this from happening. Who tried to stop Whole Foods from buying out Wild Oats?
