Corporate Profits Were the Highest on Record Last Quarter

Quote from CaptainObvious:

The wealth must be shared in a proper proportion for the nation as a whole to prosper.

In other words, redistribution of wealth. Yea, you're a Marxist/communist/socialist.

The stuff you take for granted, technology, drugs, cars, trading, cell phones, ... those are all developed by capitalism.

The thing I forgot to mention is business is responsible, unlike the Democrats, unions, and a lot of people.

I've been recently labeled a Canadian.

Nothing wrong with Canadians. Their women are as good looking as ours.

So for the 1+ million years of human evolution preceding the arrival of capitalism there was no invention?

Quote from CaptainObvious:

The company will then cite operating costs, and every other cost as reason to not raise wages.

How about no inflation?

Don't worry about the healthcare thing. Obamacare fixed all that. Previous to Obamacare, life expectancy has been increasing all over the world, thanks to capitalist profiting drug companies.

No man, their women are better looking than ours, and in much of the nation they don't have this culture of virulent male hatred which is so pervasive in the USA.

Well, we didn't have communism either.

During human evolution and invention that you speak of, it was every man for himself, greed, no sharing the wealth unless it was family, no Obamacare. Those are essentials of capitalism.

No Mr. Corportate Facist, not redistribution of wealth. It's fair distribution of profits which makes capitalism work like it's supposed to. Business owners deserve a larger share, but those in the ranks must be paid a living wage, or the system breaks down, just as we're seeing.
Any company who has it's primary source of growing the bottom line through wage reduction and downsizing is a company that's failing to grow. That policy is now the norm across all sectors in Corporate America. Long term, that is a recipe for disaster.

Ok, Canadian women are not as fat as ours. Therefore they're better-looking.
Regarding virulent male hatred prevasive in the USA, yea ok, I hate leftists.

Yep, notice how the vast majority of technological advancement has occurred under capitalism. All the thousands of years of tribalism, feudalism, communism didn't produce jack shit compared to the exponential leaps we have made since capitalism, in just a few short centuries. Now these societal Luddites want to throw that aside and make all progress grind to a halt.
