Economics - October 2006

When very rich people have more money than they will ever be able to spend, why do they continue to horde and keep it to themselves..eg. Bills Gates with 56 billion, when 5 or 10 million would be more than he could ever spend on personal comfort..or living. Imagine how many people's standard of living could be improved , if all the celebrities, and other multimillionaires such as Gates, Trump etc. had to give away or share all their wealth over 5 million dollars for example..

are we talking about taking fruits of labour off anyone, or are we talking about giving back fruits of labour to everyone?

only 1% are paid above world average /hr pay [increase of fortune] - they are paid up to a million times world average pay/hr

99% [who work harder] are paid from world average pay/hr to A THOUSANDTH of world avg pay/hr [75% of americans are paid below world avg pay/hr]

225 ppl have as much as 2,500,000,000 ppl - can no one see theft of fruits of labour in this?????

1% get US$70,000,000,000,000 a year [over 90% of world income] - can no one see theft of fruits of labour [& of happiness & life & equal opportunity] in this?????

what is wrong with naturally shared motivation? ie, equal motivation for all? ie, no work, no pay? why have superovermotivation for 1% & superundermotivation for 99% [plus extreme war for all]?

is greed so blinding????

everyone going for all the cake = no cake for anyone [9/11, ww3, nuclear winter, 0 forever for everyone]

is it the same thing as arguing: criminals will figure out a way round the law, so no point in having a law?

when ppl were discussing whether or not to have a law against murder [long ago], did someone argue: murderers will figure a way around it, so there is no point in making it illegal?

can ppl figure a way round lf? will it be difficult to hide having an overfortune, ie money belonging to others, earnings of others? will it make it possible for the police to investigate, pursue, prosecute more thieves?

[profiteering used to be a bad thing - you never hear that word any more - did the superrich suppress it? - have the superrich/superpowerful been 'marketing' [propaganda-ing] theft, profiteering under the name greed? - does superwealth attract the most evil/ destructive/ foolish/ heartless/ murderous/ hitlerous? - does flypaper catch flies? - are ppl vulnerable to promotion of greed as a virtue, ie benefit, good?]

what about when in germany the industrialists backed hitler to get cowed cheap labour by killing off 100,000 of the vocal opposition to hitler?

was that legal? it was

was it theft of billions or trillions? it was

what about in america, where the govt, taken over by industrialists, makes taxing rob the ppl [working middle upper classes] of money/power for the superwealthy/superoverpowerful? 'the superrich are not only breaking the laws, they are making the laws'

what about whenever certain thefts are legal because the nation does not know they ought to be illegal?

eg, profits above total input by the company? if the company puts $x [including all owners' contributions] into the products, & charges $x+y, that is BY DEFINITION fair-exchange-no-robbery [$x for $x] plus a robbery [= $y] - it is the same morally as stealing $y - just a trick to conceal the robbery in a sale - if the incomings are $x+y, & the outgoings for input are $x, $y HAS TO be theft

yes? or no?

Gas prices have been going down lately, but I recently read an article about OPEC lowering oil output by over a million gallons daily so to control prices. The article also stated that the gas milage for popular cars is very bad. In short I guess I am wondering: What is the cause of high price of fuel? The industry or the consumers????

Think about it - once the internet got going, some businesses were totally taken from behind... either they no longer exist "out on the street", or are so beaten that there are few that flourish.

My example: Travel Agencies.

The local ones you would go to for making your vacation plans, etc. Now it's almost ALL internet based.... Any others? Why?

To clarify my question, please first consider these scenarios:

1. My brother and I share a business. We agree to sell cans of beans at a mutually agreed price. We don't prevent anyone else from producing, buying or selling anything.
2. As #1, but we're neighbors with separate businesses.
3. As #1, but we happen to be all the sellers of beans in North America.
4. As #1, w/ potable water instead of canned beans.

I don't see what is wrong or non-market in the above scenarios, for
(A) it is each buyer's free choice to buy at that price or not,
(B) it is each seller's free choice what price he offers HIS goods at,
(C) the buyers impose no unnatural barriers to competition.

Is the only problem that one of A,B,C are violated in reality (bribes, threats, trade secrets, etc.); OR are any of 1-4 wrong in themselves? If the latter, then how? (E.g., cos people really don't have an unrestricted right to set the price for what they rightfully own and produce, even if they coerce no one?!?)

the snake-oil or panacea salesman of the wild west was a thief, getting money for nothing - putting some cheap ingredients together & giving it a big puff with every verbal trick of a slick fasttalking mouth - maybe arranging phoney cures to boost sales

the question the customer shd ask is: what are the cost of ingredients? the size of the benefit is irrelevant - if it of huge benefit, but only costs little, price shd be little - price shd be cost of ingredients & seller's labour costs, travel costs & other overheads, etc

is it the same with superwealth? - [except that we sell it to ourselves?] & thus cause superpoverty, superviolence, danger to ourselves, global unfraternity [unfriendliness, hatred], superoverpay, superoverpower [tyranny, warmongering, grunt deaths, cannonfoddering of the ppl, danger, above-law-ness, govt corruption, govt lying & hiding nefariousnesses, bureaucracy, undemocracy, unliberty, state terrorism, problems, evils, state crime, terrorism, unsafety]?
