What is Capitalism

Theopolis Q. Hossenffer

I have no opinion
The end has been near for a while around here. Most of the posters I respected and enjoyed are long gone, and now that the magats are all in hiding we're just shouting into the wind.
I won't accept bullshit straw man arguments and baseless, self-proclaimed victories from anyone, regardless of how closely aligned their positions are with my own.
Take a breath *******. It's a talk forum on a Porn Board.

One poster did tell me he was thinking on a 'different plane' and was 'light years ahead of me'. He was certainly correct.

  • 70% of employees paid down debt
  • Homes bought by employees grew 10x
  • 401(k) contributions grew 155%
  • Turnover dropped in half
  • 76% of employees are engaged at work, 2x the national average
  • Customer attrition fell to 25% below nat'l average
  • We expanded to a new Boise office & enacted $70k min wage there
  • Our highest-paid employee makes 4x our lowest-paid employee, down from 33x

Sounds like a healthy balance of capitalism and socialism.....or communism in republican speak.
