funny concept indeeeed

hell yeah.

Very constructive concept. I like where you are going and I can't wait to see the rest of the series. It looks like something that belongs in a CD booklet. Great job!

Cool work, I like this.

Great concept and execution.

this rocks!
LOVE IT!
big fat PIGGY 10 babe!

haha!

Very nice work.

Excellent theme and execution!

Wait, so you think successful business leaders are pigs? This company made profits by giving its jobs to those who are most efficient at them, in this case overseas workers. The laid-off workers will fill positions domestically that they are more efficient at, and the increased profits of the high-ups will be recycled back into the economy, creating new jobs. This is why capitalism is so successful. No offense, nothing personal, but it seems quite obvious that you have never taken an economics class.

Great artwork, top marks, by the way.

Haha... of course I never took an economics class... I wouldn't want to end up like of of them...

I'm not saying that taking an economics class would make you one of "them," but it would make you understand why the decisions that your fictional character has made are perfectly rational.

oh my... I really thought you were sarcastic on this one.... Yes I do believe corporate leaders are pigs...no matter how capitalism is so "successful". When 20% of the people share 80% of the wealth on the planet, I don't see it as a "successful" economic system.

Overseas workers are not simply "more efficient", they're cheaper and unprotected by our laws. Laid-off workers often have a hard time finding a new job because they all lost their job at the same time... Oh, and it has been proven many times that the increased profits of the high-ups doesn't actually gets recycled back into the economy like it should...

Sure...capitalism "works". But it ain't perfect and a part of the problem lies in the corporations... These things are too fuckn huge and have one sole purpose : profits. At any cost.

1st... may I see the numbers that "prove" your theory that money is not recycled back into the economy? When a person earns money, he will do one of two things. The first is buy goods and services or invest in capital, which employs workers and helps the economy. The second is save the money. Unless the money is put under a mattress, then that money will be used by banks to loan out to other people, who will use the borrowed money to buy goods and services or invest in capital, which again employs workers and therefore improves the economy.

2nd... Profit maximization is what drives our economies forward. Think of the computer you are using right now. A company decided to improve their profits by producing a cheaper, faster computer, since more consumers will buy a cheaper and faster computer. If we lived in a socialist economy, the company would have no incentives to improve their products, since they would receive the same amount of money from the government in any situation.

3rd... It is indeed true that 20% of the people share 80% of the wealth in the world. But in the U.S., the gap is much smaller, and a good deal of the world does not have the same capitalistic economy that the United States does. The wealthiest people in the U.S. have earned their money by hard work, but in most of the world, money travels through families. Most millionaires in the United States are first-generation millionaires, and the grandchildren of millionaires are rarely millionaires because they squander their parents money. Wealthy people in the U.S. are not pigs, they are hard workers.

4th... overseas workers... I won't even get into this. I could go on forever about why the Chinese making socks instead of Americans improves our economy. I could do it with numbers, graphs, charts words, you name it. Outsourcing American jobs improves the economy, despite the short-term setback of a loss of jobs (which is more than made up for in the long run). The fact that overseas workers do not have the same protections that we do is also not a valid argument, for reasons which are better explained by somebody other than me. I can tell you that sweatshop workers are just as happy as fishermen, or else those sweatshop workers would go fishing for a living (except for those uncommon instances where people are forced to work in sweatshops, and international laws and corporate policies protect against that).

And last... Profits drive our economy forward. There is no way around it. The only person supporting your argument is Karl Marx, and he was not alive to see what a massive failure your theory was.

If you wish to continue your argument, I suggest you pick up "Naked Economics" by Charles Wheelan or "The Armchair Economist" by Steven Landsburg. The former is the better in my opinion.

... and I'd suggest you get your hands on some of Chomsky's works and Klein's "No Logo"...

Common... I can't believe you took the time to write all of this... you're taking this way too seriously. You do have some valid arguments, but you didn't convince me at all. All of this sounds rather nice in theory, but in practice, it's a major failure. (not an economic one, I admit it)

I'll stop right here... this place is supposed to be a place to discuss my works... not a place for you and me to fight over. If you really feel the urge to reply... please do so in a PM... I'll get back to you.
