It's both.
In my worldview, there are two parts to the profit motive. The first is the short-term in the sense of being able to provide for those needs that you listed earlier (hunger, thirst, shelter, etc.)....
I think the answer to both of those questions can be yes, and I think that it's also fun.
Not talking about anyone in particular in this thread (not even you, OngBonga), but I think it's funny when people act like "corruption" isn't completely natural.
Yeah if the welfare queens don't get their food stamps and weed money, then we're all in for a world of shit.
Capitalism in nature is a fun topic as well
And for any of you fucks who want to continue to shit on capitalism because you don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about:...
I mean if you're calling yourself a welfare queen, then that's your business.
Maybe this discussion should be reserved for people who aren't welfare queens.
On the above two points, I just want to point out that heavy taxation hurts charity in a major way.
Taxation is not voluntary by definition. No amount of trying to bend words will change that.
Excellent argument.
Or not.
