So are you changing it now? At first you said we need to quit paying capitalists, now you seem to be saying capitalist pay themselves and their workers.
Can you give an example of such enterprise taking place without a business owner?
So when a capitalist gives his money to a corporation (buys shares) and that corporation uses his money for payroll, buy materials, research and development, and other business ventures, Do you have a problem with this?
The person who owns the product before it is sold decides.
The person...
Does this mean you are taking back your initial claim that if we just quit paying capitalist, there would be enough money for everyone else, and we can have your Universal Basic Income? Also; did "Unfettered" (post #123) articulate your views accurately?
Okay; so when you say Capitalist, you mean people who invest their money in commerce; right? So who are these people you speak of who pay the capitalist to invest in commerce? And how is getting rid of capitalist going to provide more money for everyone else? How does this work?
I asked the question because I'm trying to understand your thought process. Okay; let me rephrase. You said if we quit paying Capitalist, there would be enough money to go around for everyone; right? Who are these people paying capitalist, and why do they pay them instead of keeping the money...
Do they really think raising the minimum wage is gonna help those impoverished? Most poor households are impoverished because nobody is working; not because everybody is working minimum wage.
If capitalists were capable of getting rich without ever working, everybody (especially the working poor) would become capitalist. The fact that they don't should tell you something.
If everybody were in the business of pulling their own weight, we wouldn't need this Universal Basic Income that you speak of.
How does a person become a capitalist without doing any real work? Please explain.
So if this results in getting rid of most of the Capitalists, as well as those working for the Capitalists, who is gonna be left to pay for this Universal basic Income?

Well..... we are in control of the atoms and particles that make up us; just not all those other particles and atoms that are not us.
The brain is a part of us, we are in control of everything our brains do.
