Any relatives with a family business?

Nothing teaches capitalism better than abject slavery for family members. My grandfather had a siding business, but he's passed on now. I worked for him for a very short while, but couldn't continue. I try not to have any financial ties to any members of my family.

When I was an enlisted person in the military I learned to go to college. But now I have so many student loans to pay off that it doesn't make a difference. That's when I learned about capitalism.

You didn't learn about capitalism, rather you learned that you don't understand a thing about planning your long term finances.

There's nothing that teaches kids capitalism quite like working 8 hours for minimum wage at a grunt job.

There was this little boy, who after watching TV one night asked his father, "What is politics?" And the father said, "Well, let me explain it this way. I go to work every day and bring home the money - so I am what you call a Capitalist. Now your mother takes the money, pays the bills and makes sure everything runs well - so she is called the Government. And because we take care of you, you would be the People. Now your nanny is the Working Class and your little baby brother would be what we all consider the Future." The little boy said, "Okay," and went out to play. Later that night, he was awakened by the baby crying. He got up and went into the baby's room and, WOW, did it stink ....very bad diaper. So he went into his parent's room, but his mom was sleeping and his dad was missing. So he went looking for his dad and he heard sounds from his nanny's room. He tried the door, it was locked then he looked through the keyhole and saw his dad and the nanny going at it together in the bed. So the little boy decided to go back to sleep. The next morning when he saw his dad he said, "Dad, I know what politics really means now!" His dad very proudly said, "Well, great. Tell me in your own words." "Well," said the little boy, "Politics is when the Capitalists screw the Working Class, while the Government sleeps, the People are ignored and the Future is in deep ****...."

That's because you didn't understand how much your labor was worth. That explains a lot. It was worth $5.90/hr, by definition.

It was worth $5.90/hr, by definition. Only because that's what you agreed too.

Only because that's what you agreed too. Which, by definition, means that's what it was worth.

Not to the capitalist. Your work is worth more to the capitalist because the capitalist knows better. I am a capitalist, and I know more than you, and I am telling you that it what it was worth.

Even less when you account for the free bakery goods I ate.

If you paid people what they were worth you would go out of business. The name of the game is paying people less than they are worth. That's how a capitalist buys everything. It's a game of buying low and selling high.

You a capitalist?

The name of the game of capitalism isn't paying people less than they're worth. It's selling things for more than it costs you to procure it. You have some fundamental failings in your understanding of the world.

Very funny, Main_Brain.

As for the rest... no surprises here.

Things are made out of labor.

So kid, could you tell us what is the absolute price of labor?

I mean, how much is a man's hour of work worth, in absolute terms?

If I offer you both a nickle and a dime and you choose the nickle because it is bigger does that mean the nickle is worth more than the dime? No. So just because someone agrees to work for a certain wage that doesn't mean that their labor is worth that much.
