You guys are utterly amazing. You've upended the whole marketing discipline. Indeed there is no need for marketing, advertisement, sales, etc. Just put it out there and watch it fly off the shelf simply because it's there and people have money or is it wealth we're calling it. Amazing.
The rich do create jobs, money magically appears and creates demand. Thank God for the rich entrepreneurs. God created them so that we might praise them. Where are their boots so I may lick them, their rings that I might kiss them? They have brought us out of the caves and into the light.
You can't market or sell anything before you have a product or service to offer.
E.g. I train up a whole bunch of kids to do backroom office stuff, or seamstress stuff in the 3rd world, & prove that they can do it proficiently & at a lower cost than in the West - in the absence of trade tariffs - that will create its own demand.
You either want a globalized economy, or you do not - free trade, or protectionism.
The problem, as I have stated, is that, not only all those rich people, but also our own Governments, invest in developing countries where labour is cheaper, & labour laws less restrictive.
The problem isn't one of personal taxation, but a lack of investment domestically. The only way that that can be re-addressed is via trade tariffs, domestic innovation & efficiencies, reducing & unsecuring foreign investment, whether through the banking sector or Govt, & limiting personal funds transfers out of the domestic economy.
The enemy is still the financial system. It legally SUPPLIES credit on a fiat currency, & its sole purpose is to create more opportunities for debt to exist & interest to be charged upon it.
The US is practically exhausted, yet your tax dollars (well, National Debt) are enabling financial companies to create brand new debt slaves in another part of the world. Those places will boom as a result of this, while the West will stagnate or bust.
If you tax the rich more, the rich will just leave - & don't forget that both they, & the financial sector are the main sponsors of both political parties.
I'd prefer a 20% compulsory national investment bond (instead of taxation) for higher earners, held for decade terms, to encourage domestic investment, & make the rich have a greater stake in the lives of their countrymen.
However, apparently Nationalism is bad - caring about your fellow countrymen & their prospects etc. But in a globalized economy - that is the only thing that will protect any community - otherwise you'll just have to immigrate.
