Challenging Corporations / Film:"The Battle for America" 2/3

@4:00 Bridgestone/Firestone (Goodyear too).  These tire companies benefit from GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT. If Joe Schmoe wants to make tires, the local Govt does not spend millions to build them roads to their plant and other infrastructure, but Govt spent a million bucks per each $30,000 corp job. Then, decades of tax abatement too.

Humans catch a fine for litter or dumping pollutants onto neighbors' property, maybe jail for malice, but Govt grants corporations part immunity. THAT is 'communism'.

This highlights what I've been saying.

: Two sides to economics. Corporations (naturally) pay attention to their end, supply; Low wages = good.

The Other side of the coin is demand. Corporations need a middle class to sell to. So far they have found cheap labor in elsewhere to make stuff to sell to the middle class here.

Now the middle class here is so undermined that this market is turning lower.

Its hard for corporations to see this, but higher wages and local labor are good investments.

idiots like rappledick is what is wrong with America..they preach what they kno nothing about..this Country runs on the stock market without it we would not even be a Country worth calling it one.And it will crash and then rise again as it has done from day one if your smart you will pick a low stock and watch it rise and make you rich..or at least confortable if you dont understand the stock mrkt i suggest learn it..try the (illuminati stock market) it has made me alot of money.

[rappleduck]

Thats the stupidest thing I've had the pleasure of reading. Once again you don't know your history, or economics, or banking. But please continue on. I like reading the stupidity you put out. It made my 4th much better.

[Questfortruth86]

This is literally the dumbest shit i have ever heard, and that's saying a lot.

[BudThePatriot]

whats bad about everyone who reports what they call the news is simply their version of what they hate about America >>> thats not news thats hate speach..the real news will tell us the good along with the bad..say we shut down a big corp company for whatever reason ..well there goes peoples jobs,and then their homes,cars etc..People say boycott fortune 500 companies..most of us with 401ks ,retire accts etc are money is invested in those big corps so we lose..please tell both sides or nothing

[rappleduck]

STFU bud. No 401k or retirement account is going to be worth shit if the stock market crashes and the government goes bankrupt. Pull your head out of your ass and learn what inflation is and what it does to the dollar (or any other currency in the world)

[BudThePatriot]

you are that stupid lmao..this government will not go bankrupt anymore than socisl securty will only idiots like yourself fall for that shit..wwe would not have a Country without big corporations they are the engine of America im sorry you missed out and probly have no 401k or ira etc cause if you did you would love what it has done for the American that do have it... its made me alot of money in 20 yrs and no mom and pop shop would have come close to giving me the retirement security it has.

[rappleduck]

If the economy colapses say due to a stock market crash, the government will not be able to pay its bills. Bud, you just proved you don't know history, economics and banking.  Inflation devalues currency and eventually if neglected can render it worthless. What was an employee called before the Federal Reserve Act was passed in 1913? Once again Bud, I'm not stupid, you just have a lower IQ than me.

[BudThePatriot]

the economy has colapsed and it did not hurt me a bit ,matter of fact i have invested in alot of low stock right now and when it goes up i will make a good some of money..let me help you ..invest in what people will need even if nothing else is needed..like plumbing.airconditiong,water companies,get the message ?? invest in things people cannot do with out..a good investment try the woosleyCorporation they sell it all..what people have to have that is..Rappledick good luck you poor bastard

[rappleduck]

uh, no you're wrong on this one too. Agriculture is going to be the gold if the economy colapses, not fucking air conditioning or plumming you ass clown.

[BudThePatriot]

argriculture lmao if you want to invest in other Countries produce but then everytime they send some spoipled product out you lose big money..its a good stock but way to big of a gamble pluse to many Countries getting in on it and drops the rise so you do that..look i see your not to smart but really go to msn stock trades it will teach you..they made a game out of it to make it fun good luck

[rappleduck]

Not too smart. Bud, look up the year 1929 and read up on the great depression and learn what inflation is. Everything you just said is pointless if the stock market crashes (unless you are good with put options). But you have a nice 4th you ass clown.

[BudThePatriot]

well i am good with picking my options cause i am going to buy some more homes and in the next seven years when i retire i will not even need my retirement money to live on i will collect several thousands a month in rent.. along with what my company brings in so you have a great 4th of july yourself good day..before you live in the streets dude email me i will give ya a job and help you invest some so atleast when your 60 you can retire.

[BudThePatriot]

lmao i just seen that i have a lower i q than rappledick lol..im 43 i own 5 homes,i can retire now and never have to work again but i enjoy being the boss so maybe when im 50..where do you stand rappledick ..do you even have a bank acct ?? here let me help you i have a plumbing and A/c company im never slow for work i had 8 guys working for me but since we made it illegal to work illegals my company has grown to double so invest in GemTech Same day service ..i will be franchised soon.

[BudThePatriot]

a million mom and pop shops that cannot afford to do things right are much more dangerouse to America than the big corps that do follow the gov rules or pay huge fines

[Samalley15]

Depressing, but brilliant. God bless free speech and the courage to tell the truth, in light of accusations of "treason" and "traitor" We must have courage...and that aint easy.

[swisstaco5]

Corporations do not deserve their terrible reputation. If a company does not do things in the most efficient way possible they go out of business, and thousands of people may lose their jobs. Countries which allow the greatest deal of freedom for corporations are the wealthiest, and as shown in a recent study, if a country is wealthier they are generally happier.

[ministerabdallah]

Corporations aren't the problem. Capitalism is the problem. Someone has to have and someone has to have-not. As long as we the people keep ensisting that we have to have capitalism, we the people whom run the corporations and the governments, then our general apathy, greed, and self centeredness can't help but to come thru in all that we run and operate.

[westphalianprinz]

Corporations are not patriotic. Corporations are required to work for the investor BY LAW, only for the investors. They are not patriotic. They don't work for the common good, for the environment, or for "providing jobs" (they'll fire everyone if it generates a profit for investors) and they don't go into developing companies to help poor people.
