Houses because of capitalism? Because of no money? Because of the mortgage on the house? It is an American worker who has no money. The American worker has no money because the factory is gone? Because the factory has all gone to China. Capitalism is the pursuit of maximizing profits, and capital flows to high profit rates. China's costs are low, profits can be expanded here, capital is coming, and factories in the United States are closed. That's what capitalism is and always has been.
The United States became the largest country by relying on capitalism, free enterprise, and the market to allocate resources. Now that capitalism is embarrassing the United States, capitalism is not good? It's just that capitalism is not good for American blue-collar workers now. Capitalism, by its very nature, leads to economic crises, as Marx said hundreds of years ago, and it has been happening for hundreds of years. Is capitalism any good? If you don't have a diamond, it's better not to take the house as a mortgage.
Democracy helps workers?
If capitalism is the economy, then democracy is politics. The economic foundation determines the superstructure. This is the law of social operation. The Democratic Party and the Republican Party are all played by Wall Street. Of course, except for the socialist government of the planned economy. At that time, of course, a good government would save the bank. What's the use of giving money to a poor ghost? Do you try not to save the bank? Do you dare to let the bank fail? At that time, you will be honest, queue up to withdraw money, not to mention that even the bank has closed down, if you still have deposits. To save the bank is to save the economy from a complete collapse.
Increase benefits?
To increase benefits, increase taxes. Tax increase? Would you try adding a penny? Immediately replace when the next vote. Just look at Obama's health care reform, which struggled through Congress and was ruled unconstitutional by a district court. America has never been a high-tax, high-welfare country that worships adventurous entrepreneurship. That's why America is number one.
Is the company the beneficiary of employee life insurance?
The film here deliberately conceals some facts, just like CNN cropping photos, leaving a side that conforms to the director's intention. The unfortunate death of an employee, the company received huge insurance compensation, seems inhumane. However, as the company's most valuable resource, employees naturally need to buy insurance to prevent losses. Moreover, this insurance was purchased by the company, and the employees did not need to pay a penny. The company used snow-patterned silver to buy insurance every year, and the beneficiary was of course the company. If you think the beneficiary should be the closest person, then you can buy an insurance policy by yourself, and you can fill in whoever the beneficiary likes, and you can fill in the wealth of your family. I don't see anything wrong with the company if there is no evidence that the company intended to murder its own employees, nor is there such evidence given in the film.
