Everyone contributes to a rich persons wealth - therefore we should all have a fair share! (vote, capitalist)

nowhere, is the answer.

No customer = no profit - so the company bosses have to thank the customers for their wealth.

The customers get their wealth from their work or workers.

In this way we all contribute - your wealth = my wealth.

This is basically what Obama was saying and I agree.

An excellent reason for a much greater justification of wealth sharing.

I vote to send Obama to your country to be president since the two of you think alike.

Show the strength of your convictions. Give it a go.

Lot of buisness ventures fail too. Should the owners of said companies be reimbursed for their costs of a failed business by the people of the nation because it's not fair they failed and apparently the peoples fault? Sounds only fair right?

[Kenneth-Kaunda]

well that does seem to happen rather frequently these days.

it's called corporate bailouts and corporate welfare - do you agree with that?

Socialism for the rich, Darwinism for everyone else

We're strictly talking about a business owing the people. So the people should owe the failed business because it's their fault it failed for not supporting it. At least that was your premise for a business that thrived.

Plenty of people are "bailed out" by the government too but we're not talking about the government in this thread just what is fair and what is owed.

OP - if this is how you feel, why don't you move to the nations to your immediate northeast or east.

They would seem to be more to your liking.

Not for foreigners they aren't.

Asian communism is rather a strange one.

Them stinking employees can buy stock, can't they?

IOW: price gouging

This happens all the time, and is a clear example of how one person's wealth is attributable to the entire nation.

Open a company and charge $10. Keep the $5 for yourself.

If you have such bitter hatred for employers then why are you not working for yourself ?
