Asked and answered. If you don't like the scenario, start a thread and complain.I'm not changing the scenario. you keep trying and I keep shutting it down.God what a dumbass.AND?Makes perfect sense. To those with sense.He's got himself a building. Don't need your money.Without capital there is nothing to pay the laborer.
Without labor rich ain't nothing.
That response makes no sense at all
But, for the "conservatives" among us...
Guy puts 1,million dollars out there and says build a building. Without labor, there's no building.
Bricklayer says I will build a building. He's got a building.
Let's take your rich guy and put him in his 55 floor penthouse. WONDERFUL place.
Now take away all those things provided by labor.
Servants, building maintenance, phone service, power, security...
How's those millions doing now?
Getting him food? Warming the place? keeping the barbarians out?
I don't expect you to agree.
That, of course, would violate your "conservative" adherence to whatever you're told to believe.
But, as the GREAT BARRACK OBAMA said..."It's just math."
The bricklayer cannot do that. He needs money to buy the land, he needs money to buy the bricks. He needs money to buy food to eat while he builds the building. He needs money to pay off the government fees to have permission to do shit. He needs money to have all the non-brick shit done. ect. ect. ect.
ANd once he is done, then he is done. HE only needs one house to live in. HIs ability to lay bricks is useless unless someone else has a need for it, and is willing to pay him.
All that is there because the rich use the government to protect them from the poor. In fact, government's sole purpose in existing is to protect the rich from the poor.
THERE IS NO GOVERNMENT IN THE EXAMPLE.
Just a load of bricks
all the stuff to build whatever
a big pile of money
and 2 guys
A bricklayer and a rich guy.
Try again.
Sure. I will take the government out of the equation. That is a fair request for a hypothetical example. Here is my answer again, edited.

The scenario is as is.
If you don't like it maybe that's because you're uncomfortable with admitting that without labor, capital means nothing.
BEFORE CAPITALISTS...
People farmed, built hoses, raised livestock, raised crops, traded with neighbors ...
AND ALL WITHOUT A SINGLE DOLLAR TRADING HANDS.
Now, again, take the labor away and
Who makes your rich guy's food?
Who builds his building?
As for money???
Ask those Confederates hoarding millions in Confederacy notes what they built with them.
Pick the scenario you want to discuss, and I will discuss it, with any reasonable parameters.
Do not play the game of jumping around.
