Killing the 1% Golden Goose

[Bombur]

The farm, just like any other business, is the goose, knucklehead.



You're forgetting the money invested. The business owner is precisely the person you claim to be irrelevant.

I don't remember arguing that anyone was irrelevant so you look pretty ridiculous when you claim I did something I clearly didn't do.

The goose is an animal on the farm. The analogy is not based on the premise that the goose is selling their own eggs. The goose does the work and the owner sells the product of that work.

Simple analogy that has confused you greatly. Being able to turn around own and sell the product of another person's labor is an incredibly important part of capitalism.

The farmer also labors. As does the manager. Thus the distinction is artificual and irrelevant.

In order for the analogy to fit someone has to own the product of their labor and be threaten to kill it.

Faulty analogy then.

It's a terrific analogy. The 1% are portrayed as the "Golden Geese". The individual investor that gets special tax breaks for being the "Golden Goose" that belongs to the 1% is not the owner or manager of the farm. The people own the farm and the government manages it. On the farm, the golden geese get special treatment. They get the best pens and shelters to protect them from the weather and the fox. They get the best feed to protect them from illness and keep them healthy. As tax payers our golden geese are given special privileges. Because they are investing funds that create jobs and benifit the economy they are given special tax rates. They are allowed to pay a lower tax rate than the average citizen to encourage them to invest in business and industry that gives great benifit to the community and discourage them from investing in business and industry or personel benifits that do not help the community. The whole idea of them being the golden geese is they are creating a benifit and profit that is above the normal expectation. If they are not "Golden Geese", why should they get any better treatment than all the other regular normal geese? Wouldn't the wise thing to do be to select some of the other geese and give them better feed and healthy conditions in an effort to create geese that will produce golden eggs? Is it wise to hold them back because we want to waste our resources on the no longer producing geese, or worse, the geese who are only their because there was a producer in their family tree a generation or two ago.

Letter:Liberals being fooled by left-leaning officials

1/25/14

Liberals, you are being deceived by your own elected officials. When President Obama and other figures on the left are talking about fixing income inequality, they are not intending to improve your lives. What too many people forget is that there are still classes in a socialist or even a communist society. The so-called 1 percent will always exist, it is only who that 1 percent is that changes. Under capitalism, an individual’s ideas and work ethic allow him or her to reach the upper classes. Under socialism, the only individuals who end up becoming part of the upper class are those who use their positions within the government to amass more resources and power.

...

Liberals have erred in fearing the corporations alone, for without the power of the government behind them, they have no real power over you and me. So the next time you are considering voting for a leader who promises to use the force of government to fix income inequality, consider who he or she is really planning on benefiting. Here’s a hint, it’s not you.

You're a total dunce. The 1% get the worst treatment. Too rich to get government bennies, they shoulder the burden of taxes. They shoulder the burden of unemployment. They are the first ones targeted for tax hikes and constantly vilified by low information people like you.
It's like the rest of the farm sits around and criticizes the golden goose for not doing enough while living off its labors.

Maybe you should move to where well compensated people know how to live...Nassau County.
Apparently, the well to do in Nashville are not all that well to do based on your posting.

Gov Agency Looking Out for the Little Guy has 228 Employees Earning Over $200K

Daniel Greenfield

This swamp really needs draining.

Pay is flowing so generously at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) that hundreds of bureaucrats there receive more than most members of Congress.

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan of Wisconsin receives $223,000 per year, but that’s less than what 54 CFPB employees are paid. Another 170 CFPB employees earn more than the secretaries of defense and state, the attorney general and the director of national intelligence.

A total of 198 CFPB employees also earn more than their ultimate boss, Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellin, who is paid $201,700. Overall, 449 CFPB employees get at least $100,000 per year and 228 CFPB are paid more than $200,000

The agency looking out for the little guy is doing it the way all government agencies ultimately do.

...

Lizzie cares about the "little people" like her who have to make do with a $740,000 condo and her pitiful $15 million net worth. That's why she created an agency that lets them cash in.
