So you want barely literate burger flippers making more than 10 bucks an hour for asking people if they want to supersize the fries I would also like with that?.

Clearly you have never owned, ran, or even studied the economics of business.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. I think businesses should be making less profits, and profits should be extremely and strongly regulated.

7-11 makes up to 300% profit through mark-up on some items.

LOL NOOO then they couldnt have 10 mansions and 20 sports cars and 4 yachts! whatever would they do then?

Wrong wrong wrong. America can not be fixed off the backs of small buisness owners. Thats not the solution at all.

The entire U.S. government needs to be dismantled. A fresh start by a new government that actually follows the Constitution is the only thing that will give this nation a chance.

Wow we agree on something holy cow!!!!!! Can we try the current government for treason and have them hung? Only then will I FULLY agree with you.

Good looking out. It would be tough to lose a weeks salary of something as simple as that.

Are you drinking? Drugs? You can't possibly be serious.

Ever heard of the Constitution?

Where on Earth did you see where I said small businesses?

Small businesses are the only ones not raking in huge profits.

IBM, Microsoft, Disney, they rake in profits like crazy.

The U.S. Constitution has what to do with business regulation on profits exactly?

Where does 300% profits on sellable items fit into that statement whatsoever?

You should go into politics, your slight of hand is showing.

Bottom line is hyper inflation is going to give America a sh!t kicking. It's not a good situation but thats that.

SpartanKing-

I have a proposition for you:

Since you want government to "regulate" profits, why don't you move and let this clown be your new president?



The proposition is this: I will completely fund your relocation to Venezuela with only one condition: You never again step foot in the U.S.

Sound good?

Thanks for making my point for me. The Constitution doesn't give government the power to regulate profits. You just destroyed your own argument.

No thanks, one terrorist for President is enough.

Venezuela pays 14 cents a gallon for gasoline, last time I checked.

I said regulate, not strangulate like Bush or Chavez.

I think their average margins if lucky would be around 40-45%. Also why shouldn't they be there a convenience store

The government has no power to regulate profits. That mean anything to you?

Hell, BigOil only operates on a 9% profit margin. That proves that demand is the reason of their record profits.

Thanks. I do believe I said 300% on some items, not all. I've seen the profit sheets, I know the facts on it.

Maybe there needs to be some new laws then, in order to make the pay scales better, and less profits for the rich fatcats in Washington D.C. being bribed via the lobbyists.

How much did you get paid per hour at Hackwater, oh I mean Blackwater?

OK so small buisness gets a better cut than big buisness. Where do I sign up for this.

Wow, for someone who claims to be an expert on BW, you sure don't know the very basics about them. You don't get paid hourly, you get a set amount per diem (per day)

I got 800 per day, and 300 on my one day off per month.

Just out of curiosity, what do you do for a living, and what is your annual income?

I'm guessing you make less than 25k per year. That about right?
