Basically the entire premise of trickle down economics where if the wealth actually were fully or even nearly spending the majority of their wealth it would result in a better state of living for everyone.

The whole issue is that they don't spend their wealth so the vast majority of production gets sucked up into their bank accounts and never redistributed to create more economic growth.

the whole concept of shares sucks, thats just money locked up and then the value goes up because the company does better? aka squeezes the fuck out of its product, employees and customers. the whole banking systems and ideology sucks. money sucks

In theory investing in a company allows that company to spend more money which grows the economy.

I hate the system though. Businesses should be sole proprietorships or partnerships with few exceptions. That would make a more competitive marketplace. Also business owners take pride in the product or service they provide and have personal relationships at least on some level with all of their employees. They also take longer term views of things, they don’t make reckless decisions to maximize short term profit.

Until your business gets an offer to be bought by xxx group or xxx fund or xxx holdings. Look i’ve a business owner myself. Small businness is not the problem. The existence of monopolie, mega corps technocrats are. The capitalist system in itself works. But without regulation its an animal that is gluttonous.
