A person who owns a company and employs 100 people. The company provides a market based product or service which keeps our economy moving, the charity will artificially employ 100 people through a donation. Again, I have no problem with people speculating, it’s a free country. But why...

Yea but they are just giving back what they took anyways in a zero sum game. Let’s suppose that people sat there and hand stiched clothes all day with needles. One day, somebody invents a machine that can stich several times a second. This rapidly speeds up the process of making clothes...

You are trying to say I compared two things which I did not. No surprise that you would twist things, considering you have a twisted mind. Have you ever said a nice thing to anyone in your life? Maybe your mom, hopefully? The past several posts on this thread have all been under the...

Exactly, couldn’t have said it better. I think there could be an exception for say insurance. That is needed. But yea, the financial industry sort of reminds me of America. Used to be great, but seems they are just feeding off of others. Hardly anything is made in America anymore, and we get...

"Active in philanthropy" what does that accomplish? What has philanthropy or charity ever solved? They put band-aids over your boo boo, they never tell you how not to scrape knee in the first place. In the past 150 years, the standard of living of the whole world has exponentially increased more...

$600 over dealer cost? Invoice or holdback? If you bought it for $600 over invoice, you got ripped off, $600 over holdback means you got an ok deal but could have done better considering the circumstances. The extended warranty’s are not usually done through the manufacturer, they are...

Which program are you referring to that has been changed in the past year?

Yes, but in my very limited experience in the auto industry, it seems like Honda and Toyota are just 10-15 years behind the times. That used to be the American car company’s mantra, but not anymore. They lost all that market share in the 90’s due to the imports coming out with cars that...

Buy American? First off, you are hardly buying American by buying a Chevy and I’m sure the same is true for Chrysler and Ford. Equinox’s and Camaro’s are made in Canada (I guess that’s ok though) with Korean transmissions or engines, numerous other models have Korean and Mexican...

Almost the opposite really. I sell cars at a Chevy dealership. About a month ago they came out with an extra $1000 for Toyota owners or 0% for 60 months on select models. For ones that didn’t already have 0% on them, that could be a really nice savings, especially because Toyota and Honda tend...

I worked for the Census for a few weeks on a temp assignment almost a year ago. A little PR campaign is kind of needed now. All the Democrats hate it because they think it’s a way to find illegal aliens. All of the stupid Republicans like yourself and everybody else on ET hate it because Obama...

Well, really it just depends on who you ask.

Just so I understand you, if business was left up to itself, pay and working conditions would suddenly improve? That’s like sending the fox to guard the hen house. As unions and government’s control have slowly dwindled away over the past decades, wages have declined. The free market...

You’re an idiot. Prices would be the same (adjusted for true inflation) if the income gap and the trade deficit were the same. Just because wages are low doesn’t mean prices will be so long as there are a few at the top collecting all the money or if the money is continually being sent overseas.

The stories you hear about that are generally jobs that were advertised, in other words they were out where every other job seeker out there is looking, therefore the 75 applicants for one position. That doesn’t necessarily reflect every open position. But like I said, I hear stories about...

I’d be the first to point out how bad the economy is, especially for people under 30. Not just for the past year, but really for about 4 now. But let’s just say unemployment really is 10% or whatever. That means that 1 out of every 10 people in the workforce is unemployed. Not underemployed...

It’s always so funny to listen to people like you guys talk. You know, how important you are and if the government taxes you anymore you’re just not gonna work anymore and then the government won’t make anything, so there! Are you kidding me? Like if you stopped working all that money...

You forgot one. The CEO who gets paid a dollar a year but then gets a whole bunch of stock options and deferred compensation, not taxed at regular income, but at a reduced capital gains rate of 15% and/or tax deferment. I wonder how many kids would have to get babysat to make up for just one...

Wow the notion that somebody should be paid an honest days pay for an honest days work is a liberal idea. All this time I thought it was a common sense idea. Then again Republicans haven’t been making any sense for a few years now, so I suppose a common idea wouldn’t make very much sense...

Hey Dipshit, you don’t see his point because you have no idea what you’re talking about. Why are continually bashing my friend and saying that he didn’t have the resources or capital he needed? What part of “he was well financed at the start of the lease” don’t you understand? He...
