Actually, they have found that when the rich business owners make more money, they find new investments. However, if the middle and lower income folks make more money, they buy things. When they buy enough things, the stores need more employees and the manufacturers need more employees to boost production. So, in a really healthy economy it works as trickle up.

No it is not Capitalism, but as they open the markets more and more like Capitalism, and allow competition, they are prospering more. Capitalism is building their economy, not their Communism/Socialism that has brought poverty for the past 80 years in China. They have always been severely poor until they instilled more Capitalism in their economy. Also, their economy is based largely on a trade imbalance with the United States in which they get the much better end of the stick. Trump is going to even that playing field.


So......capitalism is good only when America uses the useless system on others?

Yes I can see how all the introduced machinery and robots are spending up big. hmmmm lets see ...rich get richer and the middle and lower classes are poor because there's only service jobs left for the majority ....hang on who's needing the services? oh yeah ..the rich.

Sarcasm duly noted. In regard to your statement about the machinery and robots, there are a lot of jobs involved. They don't design themselves, they need qualified engineers to come up with the design. They must work with other machines and robots, so engineering is required to ensure that that happens effectively. They also need management and adjustments. Those are all white collar jobs. Then there is the maintenance. Plumbers, electricians, hydraulics folks, etc. Usually, they will also need an operator for each group of machines. Every time there is a change, however slight, to the part they are building, the engineers have to get involved again. A good employer will train workers for these jobs and pay for the education required. So, in a good operation, by using automation, the employees actually move up to higher skill levels than what they were doing previously.

But my point still stands. If the workers are better paid - they buy things, which creates more jobs.

Contrast this to the average rich guy. He owns a house or two or three. Each house requires a staff to clean it and take care of the property, a cook, etc. The rich guy probably has a small staff to raise the children, take care of the yacht, etc. There is probably a driver or two, and an accountant and tax person. That's it. When they make more money, they don't go out and hire more staff because they don't need more staff. They find someplace to put the money so that it will make more money without much risk. If they decide to buy more stock in some company, it doesn't mean that that company will go out and hire more employees.

It's the Greatest system man has ever known and built all of the national economic giants of the world, unlike Socialism that has failed everywhere it's ever been tried and leads to communism which has murdered well over 100 million people.

Theoretically, perhaps. But that's the point. The things that they buy are the things that are made by the robots. Buying more things just creates a demand for more robots. But then you come back to the beginning of the loop. For the worker to be better paid he must first have a job. But the job is being taken by the robot. The only ones who really benefit are the upper echelon who own the robots.

A successful economy works as a Socialist circle. Person A buys goods or services from Person B who, in turn buys goods or services from Person C, who then buys goods or services from Person A, etc. However, under a Capitalist society, Person A buys goods or services from Person B, who buys goods or services from Person C - who squirrels it all away in a Tax Haven.

Who cares what they do with their money. YOU are the one being greedy and controlling trying to tell people how to spend their money. They provided a product or service that people actually wanted, unlike Socialism. Socialism is built on greed. Capitalism is built on rewarding those who work hard.

Socialism is a failure everywhere it's tried: This guys nails it on the head:

No He absolutely did not believing in stealing from the rich and giving it to those who won't work. All giving in the Bible was voluntary.

Paul said that if a man wouldn't work, he shouldn't eat.

There was a sect of Jews, rich and poor who believed that Christ's return was imminent and sold all of their goods and put them together and lived off the money. Guess what ended up happening? They all ended up poor and needed to live off charity for the rest of their lives. Sounds like socialism all right.

Moneylenders were turning the place of worship into a place of business. That's nothing to do with Socialism.

Wine from water is a miracle not socialism.

Free healthcare in the Bible? I don't see it.

Miracles free of charge is a ministry not an economic system.

People giving to the Church? Voluntary, not the Government coming in and forcing it.

Benny Hinn and Joel Osteen? I don't subscribe to what they do.
