You have it backwards. Msft is the company built by copying others.
Quick, name something that Apple didn't steal?
I got nothing...
Look, both M$ and Apple were important to the technology revolution.
M$ supplied the brains, Apple supplied the hype.
And don't underestimate hype; the greatest program in the world is useless, if no one knows about it or uses it.
Creative Labs created the MP3 player, but it wasn't until Apple stole their intellectual property and made the iPod that the era of portable MP3's began. And Creative sued the fuck out of Apple, so everyone eventually won.
Apple steals technology from others, and markets it with amazing skill.
Yeah, I can see where it's hurt Apple....
Apple made more money regardless of the cost to others.
But you said it never works?
GDP is the total of all private and public spending. Private spending includes the embedded taxes. Those taxes then are counted as "public" spending. I don't know what I can tell you dude, you don't know what you're talking about.You don't understand GDP. GDP is the final end product only. It doesn't double count. It only counts the end use products. The end use product price includes all the costs for all the labor and material, the value added, all the way up the supply chain to the source of the raw materials. This is exactly what GDP is.
"Gross domestic product (GDP) is the market value of all officially recognized final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. GDP per capita is often considered an indicator of a country's standard of living......Under economic theory, GDP per capita exactly equals the gross domestic income (GDI) per capita ."
Gross domestic product - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It accounts for the dollar value of all the work done by all the people that worked.
You gave the whole GDP to the workers, explain how owners are getting anything?Nor am I giving zero to owners. They make more, because they are smart. You make less because you don't know what GDP is.
GDP is exactly not what you said. I admit that you are clueless. I really honestly can't believe that you got GDP so completely wrong and actually had the nards to post it.
You keep saying that your ideas about the constitution are supreme. That's the shtick of every tyrannical government.
I say let's stick to the source of freedom, democracy.
Democracy isn't in the Constitution...
Universal suffrage is definitely in the Constitution.

I'll explain that to you. The United States is a republic, it's not a democracy.
The States (i.e., republics) are democracies. The various amendments related to voting, such as universal suffrage, suffrage, ban on poll taxes and that sort of thing relate to voting in the republics, which while having some actual democracy (e.g., propositions in California), are generally representative democracies, meaning they represent people to vote for them. Senators, Representatives, governors that sort of thing.
Government spending, revenue, and regulations are three separate issues. Business behavior by the number of businesses in each of the various industries are still other separate issues.
Broad brush statements placing blame point to someone that is making up a straw-man to serve an agenda.
I agree with the "agenda" to be more careful in going forward with Wars against sovereign nations because we don't like their religious beliefs or the products they make or the gangs of thugs that roam in their borders.

Another conservative against accountability.
Private citizens aren't required to be "accountable' to anyone except under a tyranny.
Yes, and the democrat plan is to force deterioration of our society. Each and very year of deterioration making the business challenge more and more difficult. Thus, allowing the government to step in, take control of each and every industry, to save the day for the mess they created.
Actually what is forcing deterioration, not unexpectedly, is make more money regardless of the cost to others, as the sole rule of business.
It's extremism which never works.
Businesses have to follow the law like everyone else. What stops you from making money regardless of the cost to anyone else?
Yeah, I can see where it's hurt Apple....

$109,703.86 per year average income.
The gross domestic product for 2012 was $15684.80 billion.
There were 142,974,000 people employed.
So, the average income should be $109,703.86 per year.
That is exactly what it should be.
So, that would be the "fair share" number. $109,703.86 per year average income.
Why should it be that, comrade?
And if you steal from those who produce to give to those who do not, how long would the mean GDP stay at this level? Why would Andrew Gove design chips if he is to be robbed and get the same as a wino rotting in a alley? Why would Bill Gates design marvelous software? Why would Steve Jobs steal what Gates created and market it to drooling sycophants?
What you communists cannot grasp is motivation. Your greed creates nothing. If you succeed in robbing others, what motivation do they have to produce and create?
Hey [MENTION=43872]PMZ[/MENTION], how much do they pay you to come on here every day and preach about the wonders of socialism?

This is plain old irresponsibility. Conservative entitlement thinking. Living in the greatest country in the word for free and without obligation.
If it were up to me you'd be on a boat out.

The good sense to know that businesses grow best by focusing on employees and customers and products. It's not possible to be successful by cutting costs.

Nobody pays me anything. Obviously you're not worth paying anything Adolf.

Typical juvenile idiotic grossly oversimplified black and white non thinking. Probably from the Ayn Rand Classic Comic.
All of those people started with nothing and that's when they did their best work. Anybody who's good works hard because that's who they are. Only people like you believe that only greedy people work hard. It's a myth.

BriPat loves to show off ignorance. He sees no problem with the one rule, make more money regardless of the cost to others. He thinks that society would be fine with that one rule. One law. Nothing else required. As long as everyone is screwing everyone else, civilization is optimized.
The smallest amount of freedom we have ever experienced was in the cave days. Yet that's what we chose to leave. And what conservatives want to return to.
