    You know, every time you use that term, it's like you are proving how brainwashed you are. If they were really WORKERS, they'd be WORKING. The crowd you're talking about could probably best be described as "takers".

    are discovering at a small scale it can work, and they don't need an owner,

    its a start of worker awakening.
    No, it's a matter of the goofication of a class of people who want something for nothing. You really live in fantasy land! Boss! Da PLANE, da PLANE!!!!

      I didn't think there was anybody who didn't already know that. Collectivism is what Christianity is supposed to be.

        I only know workers. and bosses.

        I am a boss, I am management, but my empathy is for the laborer. My laborers know there is nothing I ask them to do that I do not do myself, because I have worked with them.

          I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, and am proud to be called by His name. You, on the other hand, can defer to your hero Marx.

                Sure, but you seem to think more like a commie. (and you don't deny deferring to Marx, eh? )

                Thankfully you won't be sitting at the judgement seat.
                Yeah, that's WAY above my pay grade.

                  I mistakenly assumed everybody here already knew how Jesus overthrew the tables of the moneychangers

                    Laughing. BOY that's dumb! You are REALLY REALLY bad at abusing Scripture for your commie purposes.

                    WOW

                      Actually, it is. The way our economic system works makes it essentially a resource like any other.

                      Agreed, to a point. There are also natural resources (oil, coal, timber, fisheries etc) that exist without needing to be created per se.

                      The rich don't create wealth. Workers do. The rich people just find ways to scam the workers out of their fair share of the wealth they are creating.

                      Agreed.

                      Mostly in banks. e.g.


                      OK so you know absofreakinglutely nothing about economics. At all.

                      That explains a lot.

                      Next?
