Debate: Can government create jobs and wealth?
Side: No

Coca-cola could be state-owned, along with oil, electricity, and 7/11 Mini Marts. So?You would like that. State control of everything.Your love for Big Brother is strong.(What, are you trying to argue that living in America, you ought to have Military protection, Government protection and representation, a legal system, courts, roads, sewers, schools, etc. all for free? You use these services simply by existing within the borders and becoming a citizen).Can you get any more irrational in your responses?I must not be making myself clear, if I am advocating the private sector, then all of those services I am willing to pay for in the private sector based on my needs. I am not asking anything for free.Where did I say that I wanted for services for free? NOWHERE.Plus, I already said like a million times I am willing to pay for government military, police and courts.Coca-cola doesn't create jobs or wealth. It takes wealth from customers and jobs from the state.Wow, this really shows your lack of understanding the difference private sector and public sector. New wealth is (almost) never created Ex Nilho. It comes from somewhere else.If capitalism doesn't create new wealth, where does it come from? If you say government, this really only discredits you every sense of the imagination because government doesn't create wealth, it only takes.What made Microsoft rich?Actually, Microsoft brought all sorts of wealth. First, 90,000 jobs were created since the birth of Microsoft, therefore, when a job is created, it is new wealth. How? because it added new goods and services; therefore, there is more consumption. More consumption means wealth. Second, Microsoft technologically has advanced our society beyond any imagination with its competitors. Third, it is inspires intellectual minds.Well, it does print money, and it does operate in the world economy, which changes the value of our moneyI laughed when I seen this sentence. Apparently, inflation has never crossed the path of intellectually inept mind.Government can print all money it wants, but the more it prints, the more it becomes worthless. HERE IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR IDEA OF WEALTH COMES ABOUT?People in power like you who think government creates wealth.---->HyperinflationThe government doesn't need to be involved in the value of money.For thousands of years, commodities were used as a means to exchange goods and services between parties. Ex. Gold, Silver, Tobacco and even stones.Trading is not wealth. Trade is an exchange. It is commerce or transaction. It is a form mechanism of capitalism, but wealth is creating nothing into something.You could create wealth if you exploit a natural resource which is limited, because then you are adding something of intrinsic value to the market (instead of value that comes purely through demand and capital).Again, I must laugh.This only shows your inept knowledge of economics.The study of economics is analyzing the scarcity of natural resources, and how to apply it in the most efficient matter and capitalism is the best tool.If everyone is a business owner, who will do the work?Gee, the business owner.... Most small businesses the work is done by the owner.We lack them because businesses moved them overseas. Thanks capitalism!WOW!!!
