    Money has little to do with acquisition of knowledge directly. Desire, abillity and not feeling sorry for yourself will take you further than extra money in your wallet if you want to learn.

    I censored what you said, because it doesn't actually mean anything as is. Some people even enjoy that sort of thing. I replaced it with 'hurt', would you mind if I replaced it with 'taken advantage of'?

    The problem with the economy now is not a matter of capitalism vs communism or any other model.

    The problem is that in previous decades when a bank / country said that they had for example 1 million dollars, they had PHYSICAL items/value for them (i.e gold bars). Today when a country makes more currency thye just switch on the machine and make it without the real physical backing.

    So maybe I'm not understanding what you're saying, maybe I've horribly misread something, but you seemed to be talking about people making money at the expense of others. Didn't you just prove his point by saying that?

    Well, physical ressources aren't unlimited so we'll have to do without it sooner or later anyway. :-/

    Simply put, I don't care if I am wrong. Until you prove me wrong, I will be completely fine in being wrong. You might be the smartest person alive, but you are posting on the same forum as me. As smart as you are, what you choose to do with your intellect at this moment, is the same thing as an idiot like me.

    China's economic growth depends on their cheap labor and our debt to them, is a reflection of them winning. Go...

    Edit:

    Stupid me, I'm going to have to take that back. I care if I am wrong. Please, if I am wrong, prove me wrong. If I don't learn, I will remain stupid. So, please... for my 'durdy dur' simpleton brain...

    I made it quite clear im not going to discuss any economics with you...its already evident to me that it would be pointless...you will find your answers in that thread i linked. Although the thread starts about the euro...i went into quite alot of detail about america's debt burden.

    That didn't do it... I still think I'm right... Disappointing that someone of your intellect would waste time on telling someone they are not worth your time, instead of actually teaching them. Very selfish of you...

    Why would i want to teach economics to anyone when i wield such a tremendous advantage in making money off of the uninformed masses. I'd rather as few people as possible understand financial markets, and instead, just go and buy/consume shit and watch tv..... just like a good consumer should.

    No its not at the expense of people. Their standard of living will also generally increase.....just not as much as mine In fact im creating jobs for people so they can afford to continue to buy the same bullshit that they dont need to make me even richer. Its a win win situation....

    A thief gains wealth at the expense of others (almost zero-sum). A salesman gains wealth by serving others (not zero-sum).

    What happens with the US government and especially the Chinese government, is that they're fucking over their citizens through use of government power. For example, the massive inflation in China is purely created by the People's Bank of Chinas monetary policy of taking dollars from their citizens and exchanging them for newly printed Yuan. If PBoC wasn't doing this, the Chinese people would be alot wealthier.

    As an American I can thank you for those jobs. Just keep them nice and stupid and they wont know any better. Because it's easier to take advantage of the stupid. The around 20% unemployment rate thanks you, for your jobs. So do the schools that are loosing funding because your taxes are simply too high. The dumber we are, the more your life stile can increase as you are creating jobs in China. I mean the proverbial you, so feel free not to tell me how you buy and hire only American.

    I really need a longer explanation on how keeping people stupid to make a larger profit, is not taking advantage of them.

    If their employers paid them more, they would be a lot wealthier. The government does not control how much they get paid. What's the minimum wage in China? What's the maximum allowed?

    Im not keeping them stupid.....they are free to pursue an education....or at the very least study financial markets via the internet/buy used college textbooks and read them. What i did say was that i would prefer that yes they remain uninformed, and uneducated, and just watch the jersey shore all day fucking long lol then go to a best buy and buy some shit , but i am not actively doing anything towards that goal. Its not my fault the economy is fucked up....

    The monetary policy you describe is correct however the chinese people would not be alot wealthier but be poorer.....

    But, right here and right now, not only are you saying you want to keep people stupid by not sharing your knowledge, you are even gloating about it. Your ilk would prefer cuts to education of the masses instead of increasing taxes. It's definitely a win win, you don't pay more taxes and keep people stupid enough to let it happen.

    I wonder if a person who admits they rather keep people stupid, would use this advantage to spread misinformation to keep him self as rich as possible. The reason why you carry on this diatribe instead of actually telling me how I am wrong, is becoming much clearer. Actually, you even admitted as much. So far, at least the fact that people get wealthy at the expense of others, is getting confirmed by everyone who claims to disagree with me. Prove me wrong, while keeping me stupid enough to be taken advantage of.

    Im not disagreeing that there are lots of people that get wealthy at the expense of others....just not me. I said i would rather they keep THEMSELVES stupid...which is lol exactly whats happening. Im sure lots of people would spread misinformation to maintain an advantage...this is nothing new and has been happening since the dawn of civilization.....

    Im not carrying on a diatribe...all i said was that you are wrong on your understanding of economic issues (note not social issues), and that i will not explain it you as it is already explained in the thread i linked. Tons of people asked me tons of questions regarding the whole debt to china issue and i answered every single one there. Im not going to explain it again. See what i mean though...the thread is there...people can educate themselves by fully reading the entire thing, but they wont oh well....

    Put it this way....i run 2 a charities....why because its a very easy way to make money......im making money and still helping out alot of really needy people. Am I wrong because i am making money?

    As far as "sending jobs to china" goes people will have more jobs here but shit is going to be alot more expensive....the net result will be that americans will be worse off than before. I think if i recall correctly i made an extensive post about this also in that thread.
