[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4503229, member: 24302"] Except the Jeff Bezos of the world get wealthy, create jobs, giving people what they want. That he's so successful is that anyone with internet access can become more efficient by finding exactly what they want or need, delivered to them, than spending their precious time hunting through various stores and often coming up empty. There will always be a place for brick and mortar stores but Bezos has built the better mousetrap. And gotten amazingly rich not by taking from his workers(for Ricky, Amazon pays double the minimum wage), but by owning a large amount of stock that has risen greatly in value because others see the profit potential of owning a piece of his company. Always interesting how some people think a guy with a dream is a quack until he achieves that dream. Now he's a threat or they're envious. Our system works because guys like Bezos work their asses off to succeed, providing jobs and wealth to others. Take that away with socialism and we'll eventually fail. [/QUOTE]
