The failing is nobodies. It is simply life which is shit, nasty, brutish and long.
Bullshit... you just want to blame everyone else for your own problems. Did you go to college? Get a degree? Learn a high-demand trade (something in technology or medical, for example)??? No?!! Then guess whose fault that is... YOURS!!!
quote:
Some people are nice out there but a lot are manipulative and sadly the manipulative ones making the decisions to fire workers are the ones in power.
Waaah... Waaah... Waaah... there you go again... blaming others. Maybe you got fired because your company was downsizing, maybe you don't know your craft, maybe you think you deserve a CEO's salary with a Grocery Store Bagger's skill set, or maybe your attitude just SUCKS and you acted like a whiny bitch, just as you've been acting here today.
quote:
Its quite clear that You have never been poor Sir and I hope unemployment never visits your door. The unemployed are not poor through laziness, they look for work but do they get responses? No and are they appreciated. Damn right most of them are not because of the conniving manipulative and disingenuous nature of those who we elect to lead
Wrong again, genius. Yes, of course I've been "unemployed", most people have at some point in their lives. But not everybody bitches and whines like you and plays the poor victim when you have only yourself to blame. What is the National Unemployment Rate right now? About 10%... so that means 90% ARE EMPLOYED!!! Got that, Sparky??? And yes, I hate to break the news to you, but some people ARE unemployed because they're lazy, unprepared, or have some "entitlement" attitude, just as you do.
quote:
And oh do You want to know why the economy is so shit at the moment? Incompetence of politicians? No think again. The reason is that workers are being laid off from many companies who are doing nicely thank you very much and making hundreds of millions dollars in profits, despite the decrease in their profits, they are still coining it big. So why are they not employing workers? Simple answer. Greed. Pure unadulterated Greed. They can well afford to employ workers but you see this would put strain on their already considerable profits so rather than compromise their all important profits they fire workers instead to cut costs- another euphemism for greed. And laughably they then moan and moan about the state of the economy and how tough it is.
Oh help-me-Rhonda... you're so flippin' clueless!!! Yeah, all those GREEDY companies... damn them for wanting to make a "profit" (i.e., money left over after expenses) -- the same way YOU want to make a profit (i.e., have money left over after expenses)... BLAST THEM ALL!!!
You're so pathetic... you expect to have money in the bank, but companies worldwide are supposed to operate at break-even (or at a loss). Why... certainly they should exist just to employ your sorry, complaining ass, right?!! Grow the hell up. Each company out there represents someone who took a risk... with an idea... and with their own money and through their own efforts and sweat, created a business. Let's see YOU do the same thing... go ahead, big mouth... put up or shut up. Take the SAME risks these business owners did. I'll bet if you did, then you'd hold on to every penny of profit till your knuckles bleed. What makes you think only YOU deserve to have any money left over after expenses, where business should not?!! Don't they have families to house, feed, and clothe too?!! Of course they do... and guess what... business owners have every fucking right to every fucking penny of profit THEY worked hard for; because THEY PUT THEIR ASS ON THE LINE by starting a business. That's not "greed"... THAT'S REALITY AND REWARD!!!
Oh, and given you have no clue about economics... NEWSFLASH: Out economy is in the tank... for several reasons. The politicians (through the Community Reinvestment Act) forced banks to make home loans to people who could not afford the homes they were buying... Wall Street scum took advantage of this and created types of loans they knew would explode when interest rates went up... and idiot home buyers bought homes they COULDN'T afford, never should have been approved to buy, and didn't plan for interest rates going up. All of this caused the build-up and explosion of the Housing bubble. What we're seeing now is the result of that bubble burting.
And guess what... with all the FAKE MONEY the crooks in Washington are spending/printing, they're creating ANOTHER BUBBLE... an asset bubble; and when it bursts, there ain't gonna be anyone out there to bail us out. That's what's going on right under your whiney nose. And the reason why business isn't hiring is because they don't have ACCESS TO MONEY like they used to (for credit, payroll, investment, etc.) , because the banks aren't making loans, funding lines of credit, and so on. Why? BECAUSE THERE'S ANOTHER DISASTER ON THE WAY... A SECOND HOUSING BUBBLE BURST. The first wave (in 2008) resulted from those who defaulted on 3-5 year adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs)... but there were TWICE as many 5-7 year ARMs written; and guess when they come due for an interest rate increase that people aren't going to be able to afford to pay? THIS YEAR... 2010!!! Business and banks know this... and that's why they're not hiring... they know there's a pending storm on the way and are doing whatever they have to do to survive that storm. Got it? So shove your silly "poor me... they're all so greedy" crap in the garbage. You're clueless to reality.
quote:
The reason it is so tough is because A) they are so greedy its not funny. and B) they have no vision for the future.
Wrong... as stated above, they are VERY aware of the "future"... and are preparing for it.
quote:
Anyone with half a brain would know that if you reduce the workforce you reduce the tax take which in turn reduces people's ability to spend which in turn reduces economic activity. But unfortunately companies are run by myopic , self centred and rapacious individuals who think of nothing but the bottom dollar and to hell with the consequences for the larger picture. So you see its because of idiotic company policies that the economy is in the shit
No... again, you show how clueless you are. When business reduces the number of employees, they LOWER the amount of taxes and other expenses they have to pay... that's just common sense. You're confusing BUSINESS with GOVERNMENT. When there are less people in the work force, there are less taxes for GOVERNMENT to collect. So, your problem should be with WASHINGTON AND OUR POLITICIANS, not with BUSINESS.
The #1 sector for job creation is SMALL BUSINESS, which is responsible for some 70% to 80% of jobs. This is common knowledge... but what does our government do? They RAISE TAXES AND IMPOSE FINES ON SMALL BUSINESS!!! Ever hear of "Cap & Trade" or "The Healthcare Bill"??? Both are FULL of TAX INCREASES AND PENALTIES ON BUSINESS. So guess what... they won't hire. Period. So again, your problem is with Washington, not small business. And if you don't have any marketable skills, then go get some. But drop your stupid, uninformed whining. Nobody wants to be around a whiner.
quote:
Added to this we have governments who wish to reduce the dole for the unemployed instead of tackling the massively wealthy who can pay more tax but dont. In fact if the wealthy paid their fair share we would not be in the mess we are in. Controversial view. Yes. But I am a controversial kind of guy
Good GAWD... you think this is a "controversial" view? It's not... it's a WHINING, UNINFORMED VIEW. Did you know THE TOP 50% OF WAGE EARNERS PAY 95% OF THIS COUNTRY'S TAXES? DID YOU KNOW 40% OF AMERICANS PAY NO TAX AT ALL?!! No... you just want to keep taxing, and taxing, and taxing the very people who are in a position to hire whiners like you. Guess what... keep taxing the so called "rich" and there won't be any "rich" left to tax. And who's considered "rich" these days anyway? According to Washington, it's ANYONE that makes over $250,000 per year. While you may think this is a lot of money, it's not.
SIMPLE EXAMPLE:
GROSS SALES.......................... $250,000
Less 40% Cost of Goods............... ($100,000)
Working Capital...................... $150,000
Less 3 Employees at $25k Per Year.... ( $75,000)
Less Taxes & Expenses at 20%......... ( $30,000)
ESTIMATED PROFIT..................... $45,000
Now, is this RICH?!! Of course not... it's just people like you can't see beyond your own, "boo hoo... poor, poor me... boo hoo" whining. [8|]
