Re: B416 - Salary Cap limit BillIndeed. And, both would build up ridiculous levels of wealth (I.E. look at Apple), and end up spending that in dividends to shareholders - which would almost entirely consist of the wealthy.(Original post by obi_adorno_kenobi)
Tesco and ASDA. The latter more especially since they are owned by Wal*Mart. -

Re: B416 - Salary Cap limit BillYes it should be, without the drive to get money one would be poor and sad.(Original post by Indievertigo)
Money is not and should never be the driving factor in anyone's life.
So, RL example, I made sure 25 people lost their jobs and a department closed down to save £1m + a year. Hey, grandson, don't you wish you were me I got 25 people sacked and managed to save xx PLC more than £1 million a year!!!
You think that's worthwhile enough to tell your descendants. Really?
Yes, if someone earns less than £520k a year they can still be classed as not poor. In fact, even if someone earned £30k a year, I wouldn't go so far as to class them poor. Even in a first world sense...
That isn't the only way to make money, why have you become such a Socialist since you left the Conservatives? now I understand why the party is in the state it is in, you basically did a "Blair" but with Left-Wing views not Right-Wing views.
£30,000 a year in an average family of four is poor.Ah but Apple are not spending their money on dividends it is mainly on R+D and Acquisitions like most companies however most companies also pay a dividend after that expenditure.(Original post by Indievertigo)

No, indeed it isn't. But that's not what we're discussing, and if you've given up discussing why our current form of capitalism is worse than my proposed form then lets end our debate here.That isn't the only way to make money, why have you become such a Socialist since you left the Conservatives? now I understand why the party is in the state it is in, you basically did a "Blair" but with Left-Wing views not Right-Wing views.
As opposed to £520k, yeah its poor. But as opposed to the average salary of £24k? No, don't think so.£30,000 a year in an average family of four is poor.
And the difference is? They'll spend all that money on more acquisitions becoming larger and larger, and eventually run out of firms to buy. Then they'll have to get rid of the money some how with the final way any corporate firm would get rid of it being in the form of dividends or buy backs.Ah but Apple are not spending their money on dividends it is mainly on R+D and Acquisitions like most companies however most companies also pay a dividend after that expenditure. -

What proposed form? this salary cap? that isn't Capitalism that is Socialism.
Meh it is still poor to me.
You obviously don't understand how certain businesses run and what they do with their money... Apple is not Microsoft, they don't buy everything that looks semi-decent they but the highest quality small companies (the latest one was in Israel and that was more to do with Patents that they held than anything). -
