yeah its almost like human beings created some kind of "demand" or whatever that needed to be "supplied" and then the ones that "supplied" these "demands" became successful. what a corrupt system. the modern consumer deserves the right to goods and services that magically appear before them because they are to lazy to create them themselves.

corporations are great because they make poor foreigners do all our work for us.

they dont have to do anything. they want to because their governments are so cool that they have no basic human rights. jobs are good. but lets make a mandatory wage of 15$ an hour in america so even more jobs go away. (because corps can only exist to make a profit for their investors that give them the capital to make the things you buy)

its kind of like "supply" and "demand"

If they raised the minimum wage than any retail store that either loses money or breaks even like OfficeMax will lay off half their workers.

If corporations had to pay foreign workers at least 20% of a $15 US minimum wage it might work better.

You.. uh.. can't legally dictate what someone does in another country. If you tried, they would just subcontract out everything to a local shell company anyway.

Corporations are really smart.

oh yeah ha pretty cool, corporations, all the cool kids like em too huh? well lets have a little look at one of those "cool" guys who got really into corporations

Meet Denny, a fresh faced youngster with his whole future ahead of him. He loved life and worked as a school crossing guard, everyone in the community loved him. But then he got into corporations.

Lets have a little look at Denny nowdays shall we?



Oh sure Denny started off small time, just a little corporations here and there, thinking it wouldn't affect him, just like you my man. But from just that first try of corportations in the 70s in 15 short years he had become a ceo, mainlining greed and snorting embezzlement, untill one day it all came crashing down on him.

So how about you? Not feeling so fly about corporations now are you hotshot?

he looks heavier than 235, if he really is 6 2

The way an extradition treaty works, a thing has to be law in both countries for extradition. So, if you made a law holding CEOs accountable in the USA, then every CEOs would just move corporate headquarters to a country where that's not the case.
