The irony is that this article was feature only to prove how stupid it was. What a lame attempt at a contradiction to someone else's article.

[quoteSoon, the rich man is only earning 2 apples and then 1 apple and then no apples.

If only the rich man had been willing to give up one of his apples so that the government could provide the services and help to others to ensure people could buy the rich man's products.

Only an idiot would allow his business to die in this manner. I find it kinda stupid to create a business so that the money you make you give it back to the people so they can go and spend in in your store again. Wouldn't it be easier to just give the product for free? But then who opens a business to give everything for free? I guess the idiot who wrote this article does not understand the purpose of opening a business and does not understand that in most cases where one loses an apple, you simply adapt to find someone else willing to give you apples.

Sounds like a half-assed argument from someone with a fondness for socialism, and no understanding of economics.

Wealth is created from the production of goods, not from consumers destroying goods. The act of selling his goods to consumers doesn't make him wealthy, the act of producing the desirable goods makes him wealthy.

Giving up productivity to the government is almost always a mistake

Why should the government pay for the police or the schools?WHY should the government have a right to demand our apples? It is there for us, not vice versa.

Why does the government need to "help" everyone? Sometimes I think liberals want a paycheck from the government for not doing anything.

These are comments by people who think they are the only ones who understand economics?!!!!!!

what a heavy load of utter ignorance and hypocrisy.

With all the mess that is going on in the market right now, which is a result of exactly the same thinking that these comments represent , these great minds are still in their own cave.

Only an idiot would allow his business to die in this manner.

just one idiot??????

how many so far you heard of? ..... i guess you dont hear it ........ the cave is sound proof

amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing !!!!!!!!

it is not only that ignorance is a bliss ................ it is also "stupidity is an achievemnt" ....

no one can be that stupid without putting a lot effort in it. and these comments represent a monumental effort for sure

Businesses and the rich got their TAX CUTS
the government stayed off their back for 7 years
they put their own rules
they put their voodoo economics in effect and practiced it freely
They made their own billions
they ignored all regulations
they controlled their own market

so all you economic geniuses ..... tell me what happened?????

why are they collapsing now? ...... THEY ARE .... JUST IN CASE YOU DIDNT HEAR
why are they begging for Gov. stimulus now?

what this article predicted is ACTUALLY happening RIGHT NOW ......

Customers have no money left to spend ....... so who is going to buy the goods?

your policy starved the golden goose ..... what are you going to do now?

with all the billions you got from the tax cuts and from ignoring all regulations ..... can you save the collapsing markets now?

obviously NOT .... they are now begging the consumers ...... the ones they starved in the first place to go and buy the goods?

but how is that possible now? you took all the money ....... a stimulus to consumers is too little too late to do the trick now

when are you going to admit that you lack the intelligence, the knoweldge and the foresight to govern, make policy or even run your business the right way ......

good job ..... keep it up.

so all you economic geniuses ..... tell me what happened?????

Your premise is flawed, so no analysis can be conducted.  Come back with a valid premise and we can debate it.  Throwing up heated - and false - rhetoric is not the way to open a debate on "what happened" especially when you are trying to figure out why oranges are orange by comparing different varieties of apples.

BS ..... you are not going to BS your way out of this jam with your usual pretentions of smarts and knowledge ..... the policies are flawed , the thinking is clouded by greed, the intentions are not honest, the results are disasterous ....... it is all here NOW for all to see .... except for the blind-folded ignorant herd who are being led to their own demise and do not even recognize it.

It is the industrialists creed to make the best quality goods possible, at the lowest cost possible, and to pay the highest wages possible.

Yes, but the "highest wages possible" in China is one apple seed.

But too many of his potential customers can no longer pay for his product because their jobs have been moved overseas and the infrastructure is falling apart.

Don't worry the stimulus pakg will take care of that.
