Cutting taxes is the only way you're going to stimulate this economy and get it going again. The government is taking money from the American tax-payers and spending it on things like: -Foreign aid to other countries -Foreign wars -Keeping troops in Germany, Korea, Japan, etc. -Welfare and hand-outs to illegal immigrants…
RexM: I'm not going off of a few posts here, but instead his entire post history. Again, this isn't an isolated issue. Its nice that you want to stick up for the guy, but if all you're doing is basing it off a few random posts in this thread you're missing the bigger picture. At some point someone needs to speak out on the…
yes. like i said before, democracy or presidential election is pretty much an illusion here. left and right are both sponsored by the same wall street, banks, other big corp etc. at the root of all of this is just plain human nature of greed for wealth and power. possible solution is to have more awareness like this and…
For BRII I believe 120k just wasn't enough to make up development cost plus advertisements. I think it would have needed around 500k to have made a decent profit to make a III for sure right after. For GUN, the claim was that someone in Activision predicted a sales of 4-6 million units. (and to be sure, this person was…
here is a question: why would anyone in power want the general population to receive an awesome education where they could start thinking/analyzing for themselves instead of being constantly being bombarded and brainwashed by the media/corporations/advertising and keep spending their money on useless shit they dont need?…
Here is your original post trying to imply we are making up terms. This post of yours, it is bullshit. We are talking about Profit (capital P) within the realm of Capitalism. Since we don't have any socialist companies within the west at a ratio that even matters (I can think of only 2 that employ more than 50 people)…
Holy shit that is so sad... Comments like "Nice chart. Means nothing to me. Sorry if I don't trust measuring devices made 200 years ago......or even 50 years ago....." are so damn depressing. Yeah sure, scientists use thermometers from 200 years ago to determine such charts... I'm currently enlisted in a course called…
I think you're mistaken. You're thinking about the superficial results of it and ignoring the underlying incentives and motivations of the capitalist system. Furthermore, it was technology and science that transformed cell phones from playthings for the wealthy into tools for the masses, just as it is with every other…
You can use this example for our DoD (Department of Defense), which will take different bids from different companies. The lowest bid will always win. Meaning one company will probably post what it actually costs them while adding some sort of profit they'd like to make, then a second one will undercut the first company,…
Dude, you have no clue what really going on. Not only do the people making 250K+ get more tax deductions and tax credits, etc, but they also get taxed very little on capital gains which is more than 60% of their income. The rest of us get little to none of those tax breaks. What do you think lobbyists are for? They bribe…
