Surplus: Terrorized into Being Consumers - 1 of 7


HERE'S THE LINK: ( I apologize!)


http://www.youtube.com/results?search_qu...


how do you feel about being a consumer? i personally hate that word.........


and i don't constitute sitting behind a desk typing on a computer "hard work", rather hard work comes from the cheap labor from china working 15 hours to build the keyboard you are typing on and the shoes you are wearing for pennies........


and if capitalism not democracy has made american the greatest nation in the world - then it has done more harm to america then even i could have predicted........


"For the LOVE of money is the ROOT of all EVIL"


1 Timothy 6:10


businesses love money, do they not?


do businesses like exxon want us off of oil when their profits are exceeding into the BILLIONS and hydrogen would literally make gas FIFTY CENTS a gallon?


too much of anything is bad:research the great depression!

Is capitalism killing america?
no.
Reply:Capitalism has made products made in America very expensive prompting manufacturers to build their factories in China for cheap labor. Thus, China is now booming as a economy with the US as one of its debtor country.
Reply:Capitalism isn't the problem





Lousy ethics are the problem.





It originates with people, not with the economic system.

Reply:The US has always been a Capitalist Nation. Capitalism is what made our economy so strong. It is regulation that is killing our country. We regulate everything so much that we have driven manufacturing right out of the country.





I find it kind of funny that you mention Exxon, who is controlled by Venezuela. Oops...
Reply:Capitalism kills everything and eventually buggers of to cheaper parts of the world.

Reply:america is capitalism. it is freedom to the max! china just proved that america or democracy isn't for everyone. and you know, i believe that china is right. look at those countries colonized/ occupied by the usa, how are their economies? look at the philippines? their economy is one of the poorest - reason why all filipinos are going abroad for work. and who's fault is that? of course - the usa, because they shoved democracy into the filipinos, letting them believed that it is their savior.


so do not whine about costs and how bad your day is. instead celebrate democracy because that is what uncle sam wants you to do.
Reply:Yes , because it has taken over our Government and buy our elected politicians .


We don't really have a say any more .
Reply:Capitalism is economically killing Americans. Americans have a high rate of personal debt. This is made worse by the capitalist law of supply and demand. The same products are sold for different prices in different countries, depending on the country's wealth, and on its consumer demand for the variously priced products. Americans tend to tolerate higher prices than third world persons. Because Americans think that they can afford the products, without considering that they are paying more than others for the same products, they continue to demand the comparatively more expensive products. This contributes to the luxury driven American culture which sets high material standards for personal success that are difficult to obtain. Therefore, the more affluent the country, the more its consumers pay for the same products, the more luxuries their culture demands from them to prove their success, and the more personal debt they accumulate as they try to look successful. It is a bad economic situation that Americans can easily fall into and with severe difficulty get out of.
Reply:no its great and you sound very liberal you might need mental help

Only as it applies to how our government is currently being run...
Reply:Well let's look at it this way... America is the most capitalistic of all the courtries in the world.





It also has the most freedom. The people of this country give more to charity than any other. The also have more humanitarian organizations and give more in foreign aid than any other.





China is one of the most oppressive and regulatory governments in the world. They have communism, not capitalism. We could stop all imports from China, and boycott all the sweat shops, but it's government would still prevent it's people from being prosperous. The Chinese work the sweat shops because their goverment makes it nearly impossible for anyone there to start their own business and to succeed. Freedom and capitalism are two sides on the same coin.
Reply:Green is the new Red ! Communism (global warming scam) and political correctness is destroying us faster
Reply:why dont you go to venezuela to get a little taste of "socialism" if you feel so harshly about capitalism. the french have obviously reconsidered now..... no more freedom fries!! lol.
