Yes, the simple, single farmer is everything, CEO (management), salesman, bookkeeper, advertiser, designer (breed selection). In short, the farmer represents all labor and nothing of wealth exists without it. He is also the sole proprietor, aka stockholder. A working stockholder, unlike most in the Wallstreet shellgame.
.
Often, the sole proprietor dreams of one day expanding his business. He understands that he is only one man, and can't possibly do everything, so as his business grows, he is forced to employ other people to take over some of the tasks, or at least contract out for services that he cannot provide for himself for whatever reason. Unfortunately, one cannot always find employees that are as capable as the initial proprietor, so you have to hire other less capable people to perform some of the menial tasks. Wes, are you one of these employees?

OK. They provide a carrot seed one time. Once they get their seed money back twofold (2 seeds), why do we have to keep paying them? Standing off to one side, looks more like the business, aka the labor, is providing financing for them, to me. They already have accumulated over half the wealth. Usury. As in they're freeloading, bigtime.
Nobody forces any owner to agree to accept investment money to help his business. Some owners do, others don't. Investment money serves a purpose. Maybe you should change you occupation to that of an investor? Would you be happy? Do you think you're capable of that? Does it matter if the money was your own or someone else's?


Man, what a great thread. This is exactly what club cobra is about. Bringing all of us from different ways of life together to share our love for humanity.

Kum by ya, my lord, kum by ya, etc.
