So you now agree that people such as marketers, salespeople and managers also contribute to a business? I just want to be sure I understand you.
If not, which ones do and which ones don't?
To be honest about it, yes, they do play a role in industry.
BUT the question I bring up is the distribution of the wealth that the workers actually create even though they are considered unimportan because they can always be replaced.
Well, government can also replace capitalism. So capitalism is also easily expendible.
The worlds largest corporation is the US government and the head CEO has a salary of only $400,000 to show for his effort.
Compare that to the earnings of some CEO's that range into the multimillions.
And when they get bounced out for incompetence, some get severence packages in the hundreds of millions .
It is the inventors that create the start up industries and sometimes they get not much in return..

Mike, aside from the particulars of this thread (but still on topic:)), have you read Robert Reich's book, 'Supercapitalism'?
If not, might I suggest it. I think you would find it quite interesting.
I just picked it up so have not read to far into it. But I think it addresses you main points (that businesses hold too much sway in politics).
I am not interested in other opinions that require reading books that I do not do and have the ambition to take the time required.
That title 'Super Capitalism' mey be applied to the 'new world order' that got hit by the Islamic sacrificial terrorists on 9/11.
This not only got us involved in a new war, but it has ravaged our economy lately with the bankruptcies, worker sactrifices and other problems.

Aw, when you've got such eloquent people like coldcreation, its hard to stuff everything that isn't the Conventional Wisdom off in the "Animal House Rush Rejects Corner"....
Good luck with that Reap!
So, Mike, be careful what you wish for!
Boring's okay here though (won't mention names...
...heck boring can be very entertaining and even educational!), but annoying ain't...
May it be possible, that foreign hire could out of thee extract one spark of evil that might annoy my finger?

My posts all have given reasons for what I write. My understanding of astronomy and cosmology is based on a personal library and 20+ years of discussions within local astronomy clubs and websites.
I welcome criticism as long as it is honest and without preduduce.
Since my posts are 'new science', I cannot cite any other sources except my own educational self study.
An example of establishment science is that they all seem to accept the BBT that I consider to be CosmoGONY .

Well, that's the thing, see. We at SFN do things a little bit differently over there, such as keeping topics like this in the "speculations" section. We will never prevent you from making new topics on that site, but that doesn't mean that you can just simply post what ever you want. I'm not going to delve into much details here, but if you intend on staying on our site you better not bore us, and you better start answering our questions properly. Or, well, some rather unpleasant things will begin to happen......
When you read my posts, you will always notice a reason given for the article. I do not just dream up articles without some real reason for doing so.
I will post some other articles there that will be of interest.
These will also create some lively discussions, I'm sure.

Then why do you keep saying that no one but the workers that build things with their own hands deserve to make money??
If you don't believe that, why say it, as you so often do?
Well, I recognize that capitalism has a say in organizing new industry and the work of designers, engineers and other such personel.
But my primary claim is the downsizing of the workers to such lowly levels
that is not warrented.
A more equitable distribution of the wealth is good for a prosperous economy.

I AGREE with you that there is too large a disparity between most CEOs and the front line workers. But you keep throwing out these silly statements that do nothing to advance your point.
Thanks.
