Which is more accurate: A corporation gives people jobs VS A corporation makes money off employees?

Cristopher Gavalis: Neither.A corporation utilizes human labor, which is a business expense so they're not making money off them, in order to make a profit. In many cases, the human cost isn't what actually earns the money but rather the product or service itself that is what's sold - not the individual. Though there are exceptions to that if someone is particularly unique that customers follow the employee - but that's not the norm. The jobs aren't a gift. People have to earn the right to be employed and earn a paycheck. So no, neither are true....Show more

Jude Colbenson: And another lame excuse for your own laziness.

Chet Nozick: in the real world a corporation only hires you when it NEEDS to hire you in order to make more money.

Ardath Templer: Refer to history and successful people...President John Kennedy: "In short, it is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high today and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise the reven! ues in the long run is to cut the rates now." Result: As a result of Kennedy's tax cuts, the federal government's tax revenues climbed from $94 billion in 1961 to $153 billion in 1968, an increase of 62 percent.President Ronald Reagan: "At some point, additional taxes so discourage the activity being taxed, such as working or investing, that they yield less revenue rather than more. There are, after all, two rates that yield the same amount of revenue: high tax rates on low production, or low tax rates on high production." Result: As a result of the Reagan tax cuts, total federal government revenues climbed by 99.4 percent during the 1980s. The average annual growth rate of America's real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from 1983 to 1989 was 3.8 percent per year, By the end of the Reagan years, the American economy was almost one-third larger than it had been when they began.""From 1981 through 1989, the U.S. economy produced 17 million new jobs, or roughly 2 million new jobs! each year."We call this period, 1982-2007, the twenty-five ye! ar boomâ€"the greatest period of wealth creation in the history of the planet. In 1980, the net worthâ€"assets minus liabilitiesâ€"of all U.S. households and business … was $25 trillion in today’s dollars. By 2007, … net worth was just shy of $57 trillion. Adjusting for inflation, more wealth was created in America in the twenty-five year boom than in the previous two hundred years.President George Bush:"The cornerstone of my economic policies, is cutting taxes on everybody who pays taxes.""In 2001 the George W. Bush administration passed income-tax cuts that reduced individual tax rates by roughly 7.4 percent on the low end of the income spectrum, and by 9.3 percent on the high end. Two years later, capital gains tax rates were reduced from 20 percent and 10 percent (depending on income) to 15 percent and 5 percent, respectively. Cumulatively, these cuts led to a period of economic prosperity that lasted until the housing crisis of 2008."Following the tax cuts, the g! rowth rate was 4.1 percent.During the six quarters after the cuts, it added 307,000 jobs. And during the seven quarters thereafter, another 5 million jobs were created.

Charissa Riley: businesses are not charities, cons.

Warren Kotter: I think it'd be cool to be a politician but I'm too moderate for most people nowadays.

Willetta Munhall: I am thinking both are true.

Hobert Dula: Both. I am employed by my company. They pay me a salary and a bonus. In return I generate value for the company. If I do that job well enough I am rewarded with equity in the company in the form of stock grants and options, thus I become part of the ownership of the company and able to vote in shareholder meetings. It's not cut and dry. The corporate world has a million shades of gray....Show more

Clemmie Burkleo: These are symptoms of an imposed system of slavery.We are living in the midst of an artificially contrived slavery system and I will tell you its biggest sec! ret which is right out in the open and very simple but nobody ever thin! ks about it:All the countries are borrowing their currency from the central bankers at interest, which means ALL money will always be debt, because ALL of it is owed to a bank plus an interest that no one has and can never pay. Almost not a single idiot understands this mechanism these days but it is an inside knowledge that has always been there.Until this is changed, THERE IS NO CHANGE. 

Benita Nancy: Why shouldn't the liberals prove there is no ? Or much ? Hey, McFly ?...........What do you name social protection, Medicare, Medicaid, or the more latest Obama healthcare plan that was once compelled unconstitutionally on all of the usa ? What concerning the food stamps application ? The complete restrained employ programs ? The numerous church and non-profit founded missions ? Salvation army meals drives ? I could go on all day, however I do'nt see the factor. You wish to have us to let you know distinctive numbers of "hand outs" the federal government gives and spe! cifically to the needy after we are the most charitable nation on the earth. How about you dig up your own numbers ? Because finally, it has been my expertise that we would come up with the details, give you the numbers and liberals and bleeding heart democrats will nonetheless now not be satisfied, they will not alternate thier intellect and is not going to listen to rationale. Charity and assistance to the terrible was meant to be simply that..........It wasn't presupposed to be a gravy teach that lasts endlessly so a character would not ought to do whatever for themselvess. And for the truely bad that have no different means, those are the low percentage of exceptions however govt can't thrive with the aid of handing out all of its cash to non-productive persons. If your so involved concerning the needy getting thier fair share, might be you must ask Pelosi why is she losing $2 million of taxpayer cash to shuttler her household round on military jets. Why is Waxman spend! ing $2200 a day in Copenhaugen ? Why does Harry Reid waste $8 billion o! n a teach task to his metropolis when he understand's that it'll need at least 1/2 a decade for an environmental be taught and 3 to 4 instances that much to actually construct for the duration of a recession ? The place is Obama's "laser mild focus" on jobs when he is squandering the Stimulus bill on non-stimulating initiatives and government applications ? Business businesses round the united states agree that the Stimulus failed to do jack for jobs or the financial system. Where is your outrage at this Democrat Congress spending our cash like water to play "capture up" on all thier liberal agenda's and shell out the taxpayers money to thier neighbors as pay offs ? Considering that the best way you might have long past about it, your way features at government no longer having ample and can possible flip to the taxpayer as soon as again to ask for more money, alternatively than keep govt accountable and make them responsible....Show more

Ninfa Aronica: I would say th! ey are both about equally accurate. A corporation hires employees in order to make money from their labor.

Jestine Osumi: We are in a paradox.We have achieved such high productivity that we have more idle hands than we need to fulfill our needs.However, more idle hands means less economic activity and reduced ability for all to cash in on it without redistribution, thus a weaker economy.If productivity jaunts are deflationary; and the only cure for this deflation the government has offered is QE..how the HECK do we get out of this?Seriously?...Show more

Sonya Volcko: Like the comments section?

Elvin Mannheimer: A corporation makes money by providing goods or services to a customer. Employment and the wages they pay are part of the cost of doing business.They are blocked, for the most part, from abusive labor practices by law, since their reason for being does not include providing employment. The public recognizes the benefit of secure employment in a de! veloped society....Show more

Gale Hartt: No. Our economic system ! is broken. There are too many people on the planet and not enough jobs. This will never change. The super mega rich have won. They own us all. So now what? We get up in the morning and slave away so they can become even richer, while it becomes more and more difficult for hard-working people to get ahead. 80 years ago our grandparents and greatgrandparents had sit-in strikes as a result. They demanded more fair wages and benefits for working at companies that they were helping to make rich. Just in the last 5 years, the top 1% has doubled and tripled their take. Have you double or tripled yours? Of course not. If the Walton family is worth about $100 billion, than surely they can pay their workers $15 an hour, which would save us all so much money that goes into Food Stamps and other programs to help people like their full-time employees, who work 40 hours a week but make only about $16 or $17,000 a year, which is criminal. It's really hard to live off that....Show more

Frank Gazaway: politics is in every job, like it or not

Ezekiel Kadner: Maryjane, really?you think a corporation GIVES you a job?

Barrett Felicia: Both are 100% accurate. It called capitalism. Learn it, live it, love it. Because you can't change it.Edit: yes I know that. It called capitalism. Please try to learn how it works.

Wilburn Denice: I do building maintenance for elected officials! I think that countsedit: I am considering running for county commissioner in 20 years.

Alberto Kozub: in politics?

Dannie Briseno: a new form of capitalism Productivity is increasing, national wealth is increasing but wages have been stagnant in real dollars since the 1970s. the bulk of the wealt! h has gone to the top 1-2%And ROBOTS are coming. driverless cars and tr! uck, (no taxi or truck drivers) robot field hands, almost any routine job can be done by computer controlled machines.But we are a CONSUMER society. people need income to have money to spend.what is your idea?

Sherita Gallati: Hmmm, a job where you get paid large sums of money for doing nothing, except taking bribes. Yet are universally hated by all your countrymen. I'll pass.

Bettye Arre: ummmm... no.If anything *YOU* are the one trying to sway opinions by bringing the focus of the article down to a particular quote.

Wilbert Shellgren: Many times you "buzz up" and never get the comment section or the opportunity to provide input.

Eva Lichlyter: There was a time - not too long ago - (although english is the rapidest growing language in the world) that new forms of expressions in english would 'mean' something, such as transistor, transducer", eco-friendly, etc in all different strata of the language. Those days are fast going down the drain, being replaced by words - although new ones - totally stupid, and only devoted - not to the advance of science, society and/or human well being, but to the "communication" end of it. The problem is, though, th! e 'communication' motor is the entertainment area, the students platfor! m, etc, who - by the use of the toys given to them by serious developers (cellphones, www, videos, etc) not only bring new words into play, they also assassinate the original one, installing such 'words' as 'buzz-up', wassap, yuonowhatImean, ...??? This is not a lone development; different sectors of the culture 'cake- have different atrocities. It has spiralled from English into other languages, totally assassinating the other ones as well.This is the typical case of 'contra-evolution'...or evolution backwards. Again, this is only my opinion....Show more

Ellis Cellar: How can you separate the two? A business in IN business to make money for its owners/investors, not for the purpose of providing employment. Now, a business that grows needs employees and thus it will "give" people jobs and if the business is successful it will "make" money off its employees.

Mario Stricklan: If I ever get a Job in politics I will create my own TV show/station and everyone on the ! forum will be guests to debate on the current political issues.It will even be funnier than Fox News and MSNBC! Except, my show will be about truth...not lies.

Mitchel Demry: I want to be a fascist dictator.

Cherry Stampka: They are both accurate, but the first is by FAR more accurate. Businesses PAY employees. It is like you Lieberals referring to a tax cut as "spending"The only time companies gET money is when a Customer BUYS a product or service.

Kenneth Thuesen: Get rid of the plus or minus 10 million illegal immigrants and suddenly you have 10 million hiring signs.

Cornelius Thornborrow: no corporations don't just give away jobs too those that need them, but apparently the wealthy do. There's a secret order of the wealth that gives a percentage of their income too ensure america has full employment and productivity. No wait.... Secret order of the wealth is the tax accountants apple uses too hide almost a trillion dollars overseas.
