yeah but once you finish college you can get a decent job and afford to pay them back

When you get student loans lets see how eager you are to pay them back lol

With the compounding interest and cruel realization that a college degree means nothing in this day and age you'll quickly find yourself here with us, bitching about how student loans are bullshit.

How is that right? The goes against everything it is to be human.

Kraft Foods. The owner sits in his chair while the employees work like dogs and get way less.

What good at all would that do? A man can't sit down in a chair?

I can prove by another indirect route though, think of it this way, the owner of Wal-mart's kids will inherit his riches, and what did they have to do? Nothing besides be born from the mom, really, that must of been hard.

The first person to build up a company, does sacrifice alot, but than the following ones exploit the workers for more money, the workers should be given higher wages, no workers = no company, people sometimes forget this.

If their was no owner, than their would be no exploitation.

ever been a manager?
I can assure you that no company would work without some ceneter of power.

but yes you do make a point about riches being inherited but really the money has to go were the man wants it to go.
my god....... the company knows that and the workers also but here is an eqation for you
no profit=no company=no job

You missed my point.
What i tried to say was that if the workers were in control of the company that would be the center power of it.

Apparentely they either don't know this or don't care, considering how much the workers get/can get and how much the son/daughter will get.

Center power = owner = rest falls into place.

Quote :
communism goes against human nature.

Oh man, this argument! My favorite!

Human nature is nonexistent, or if you really must think it does dictate the way we act it is a flexible nature based on the socio-economic structures built around it. Even the general neurological natures of human beings is based on the reaction to stimuli. This is dialectically analyzed time and time again by Marx and then Marxist after Marxist. Capitalism makes people economically aggressive (.. selfish ...) because of the competitive nature of the socio-economic conditions that Capitalism creates. You can't live without this aggressiveness. Adversely, Communism working on a Socialist socio-economic basis would create more or less "human nature" to work with the system. Humans inherently work towards the fulfillment of their various needs, thus the way they achieve these needs is defined by social structures surrounding the human.

thats' wrong

ok let's say we have one owner and a big company may be 50,000 employess??

the owner gets maybe 10 million? if we would give that all to the workers they would get: 200 dollars more each not or
a rais by: 5,5% not excaly a big share not to mention most big corparations have a LOT more employess I mean Iceland ic companyes have 100,000 employess.
