    But they paid for the product to resell from Microsoft. So really it does end up there.

    PS: I'm talking products, not market share. A company will not grow on the market if there is no market for its products.

    I'm also voting for Gary Johnson even if I don't agree with everything he advocates.

    Oh, I was referring to dafts comments about who owns businesses and who creates jobs.


    Everyone who owns shares of common stock owns part of a business and thus (by his logic) creats jobs.


    You are correct, it is the consumer who creates all the jobs.

    Gamers are your average everyday employee who earn between 15k-50k a Year, people like us make up the majority of society because it only makes economic sense that the number of employees outweigh the number of employers by a minimum of 10-1.

    And the trick to a successful economy is ensuring the average consumer can afford to keep consuming at a increasing rate throughout their lifespans.

    That simply don't happen because once money gets in the hands of those who have an overabundance of it that money tends to sit or do little more than circulate through the stock market instead of being cycled back down through the employee's and allowing them to be good little consumers.

    All that being said the stock market is a great way for the average Joe to amass wealth if they do it right.

    Yeah, it's just a logic I disagree with. This is because companies don't hire if there is no demand for their products or services. Investments are capital for expansion, but corporations only expand to meet demand.

    Because Obama hasn't done the same already right? Great video showing Obamas hypocrisy.

    Normally i just read these posts and don't reply but i had to on yours, most big companies today are cutting jobs or moving them off shore. In addition small business creates jobs and as long as the government helps big business banks and investors will always favor them over small. sadly.

    Every business today was started by a rich individual
    .
    No every business was started by a guy who had a dream to be rich he didn't start that way

    And yes giving tax breaks to the rich will create jobs and strengthen the economy. Its been proven time and time again.
    This has actually been disproved, Clinton hiked taxes on big business and small business flourished Bush did the opposite and we saw a huge slowdown in jobs.
    This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it.

    Obama is far from perfect, and I didn't vote for him last time, but Romney would be far more damaging to the country than if the president was re-elected.
    Romney has an eye for money, I'll admit that, but his social and foreign policies are absolute shit.

    Yep. Spending by the middle class helps everyone flourish, more money in someones bank account does not.

    The person I was responding to was only against romne and was implying Obama isn't just as bad. I never implied Romney wasn't horrible. Really, get out of the false dichotomy. The parties are essentially the same now. There is no "If you're for this then you're against that" anymore.

    So much hate against the presidents personally. Though these things were about their opinions and ways to solve problems.

    These threads always end up in the same way, a Republican vs. Democrat knock-out brawl. And we already have two stickies for this.
