[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 6114590, member: 24302"] Business ownership is from people taking their savings and starting a small business and growing it. Along the way as they grow they create jobs which allows their employees to pay their bills and have a life. It's not intrinsically evil to do this. There are business owners who are greedy and exploit their employees for sure. Those people often fail in the end. But most business is about someone seeing a need for good or services that others want and they fill that need, creating wealth for themselves and others if they are smart about running their business. If you go to your average supermarket.you'll see products from huge conglomerates and products from small family run businesses. The supermarket itself is a business that brings all those products together in one place making it easy for the public to buy what they need or just want. This isn't rocket science. You would disrupt this by having some great council of employees deciding how everything is done. Well who is going to do the grunt work no one likes to do? Who is going to get up early in the morning and drive the truck from the warehouse to the supermarket? Who is going to work in the warehouse or stock shelves? All employees being equal means no one is managing everything, coordinating everything. If you say someone can be assigned to do that but he's not going to be paid any more than the truck driver or the stock clerk then he'll say why did I go to college to learn all of this if I'm not being paid more than the guy who stocks shelves? The system falls apart because of lack of incentive to do better. This is exactly what happened in communist countries who tried to be communist only. China has succeeded as a communist country because they allowed capitalism to be practiced. It's what works. [/QUOTE]
