[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 387231, member: 40536"] I do not understand. Every business owner hires labor. That is capitalism That is the basic economy of most of the Free World. A large Company like Ewing Oil presumably provides good salaries and benefits, which in turn helps people purchase housing, groceries, goods and serices, which in turn provides more jobs. That is basic economics. The companies and jobs provide taxes which fund the government Without companies like Ewing Oil , where do the funds come from? Unless someone else, in a capitalist economy is providing them somehow, or a government has centralized the means of production, in which they are hiring labor as well, Currency can't just be printed Again, basic economics The people have a choice. They could work for someone, or open their own business Of course people could choose not to work and be freeloaders on society. (Assuming that the person is able) Pam did not want to be Cliff's personal banker? All well and good, but Any money that Pam had came from Ewing Oil or Rebecca Wentworth, so she was not in the best position to lecture Cliff JR was right. Yes he was born to a wealthy family, but he had to work his way to the presidency of Ewing Oil, under Jock's demanding instruction. JR then grew the company into a multi billion entity. Yes, he made some risky decisions, but they worked at least to that point. Pam was awarded support in a divorce, inherited wealth from her mother, and didn't appear to be growing the company, let alone spend much time there, day to day JR had flaws,of course, to put it mildly, but he was right about Pam's accumulation of unearned income [/QUOTE]
