Stock exchange and Tesla

[nitroz]

While it looks good that Tesla has paid off all their debts and posted profits and such, lets not forget the bad effects of stock exchange.

It's literally the #1 reason why wages suck, only part time jobs exist, etc. You know how all these big corps post such astounding profits? Where do those profits go? Obviously Scrouge duck isn't swimming in money, so whats really happening?

That money goes towards stock. The more profit they make, the more stock increases. (stock is also affected by many other factors, too)

So, why is the working force still suffering when they can be taken care of first?
Stock holders. They are the ones who force corporate to constantly milk all the profits they have. If the stock is shaky, then they will try to get a quick gain and then quickly sell it. What happens when someone buys it and does the same thing? They hurt employees more.
It's a very harmful cycle that will eat Tesla up unless they have some backbone and tell their stock holders that they are running the show.


Whats a good example of a company doing so? Costco.
But it's also because the CEO owns half the stock, so he can tell other stock holders to piss off when they try to do their dirty tricks to make a quick sale.


Rampant capitalism is bad.

Obama has destroyed all incentive for corporations to do anything other than retain their earnings.
Other than oil and gas, there are very very few industries that are hiring, spending their earnings on hard development, and fueling the GDP.

But Obama isn't finished... there are over $40 billion in taxes on oil and gas businesses in his proposed budget. He's out to destroy them too.

Can you explain what you mean here? Do you mean in the form of dividends? Stock buybacks?

Sorry, but they have had their chance.

"The wealth will trickle down". Well guess what? It aint trickling.




It makes me want to get involved in office. I'd throw so many people in the fucking slammer and make sure that they are in for profit prisons to throw salt in the wound.


Banks too big to fail will fail hard while the executives are jailed.
Corporate tax will be eased up, but minimum wage will also go up. Companies like walmart and mcdonalds who rely on government to pick up the cost would be in for absolute hell.

I would call over 9 million employed in oil and gas "trickle down".
These industries account for a sizeable chunk of our nation's GDP.
Obama is a whore.

Funny you should mention Trickle-Down Economics. Just think for a second about your current economic policy. What is it? Deficit Spending, TARP programmes, Artificially Low Interest Rates, Federal Reserve Asset Purchases. They're literally just creating money and then giving it to Wall Street and Government Contractors. That's the genius progressive plan to fix the economy: Give Money to the Rich.

Sounds familiar?
