Scenario: Simple tech company that makes web sites. 10 developers in, about 20 projects/month, ~2k/project (or more, just because the name of a company instead of a freelancer can raise the price), ~1000/month salary to each developer, (- 30k expenses) for the "boss".
Who is the moral one here? ;)
On a side note, we live in 2014 and still people buy the economy bubble, supporting the idea of "free economy" (which is not so free after all), while people are dying from poverty, or have no electricity. Seriously, can't you see where this whole situation is going?
And you talk about "morality"?
Think for an instant what would happen if anyone had a basic income. Just from the top of my head:
- purchasing power -> people _will_ buy stuff (because they're able to), money keeps moving
- access to health
And there, your precious capitalism is saved.
But I think that does not apply to a country that has people doing absolutely _nothing_, even if for a year it's a fact that their government is spying on them (or rather an individual organism that does not subject to law).
- snitko 12y agoThe record of history is absolutely crystal clear: only in countries that allowed relatively free trade the average citizen was able to escape the poverty. On the other hand, it is in those countries that decided to follow socialist ideas, average citizens were poorer than anywhere else.
