Finally...a good idea. I would just like to bring up the idea of Laissez-faire again, and how it explains that a free market is the best solution for everyone! Firstly, by having cheap labor sources from overseas, it will benefit everyone. The people overseas will have a job, while our products will be produced faster and cheaper. Secondly, our products will get mass-produced, lowering the price of these products which will benefit anyone buying it. Thirdly, wages will increase because people will have jobs. The government should not be involved in this, only the businesses. However, if these businesses become greedy and begin to manipulate other people, then the government must step in. Shifting job overseas, it would benefit not only the entrepreneurs but also everyone, especially the working class. To sum it up, entrepreneurs' businesses will flourish. The working class will get an increase in wages, with the price of products decreasing! Clearly, this is the best possible solution for our economy.
Karl Marx (Eleanor Fulghum)
ReplyDeleteClearly, this is not the best solution for our economy! Although overseas labor may benefit entrepreneurs, this will do no more than cause an even bigger economic gap in-between the entrepreneurs and the proletariat class. The proletariat class will potentially lose the ability to make use of their talents through skills by way of performing "cheap" labor overseas. Our society should be classless, and this obstruction will only cause even more of a tear through the middle of it!
Jeremy Bentham (Will Campbell)
ReplyDeleteI must agree with Marx on this one. I believe in utilitarianism, meaning I want the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. Although you say sending work overseas would do just that, I assure you it would do quite the opposite. The only people that will be satisfied by this will be the entrepreneurs because of how much more money they'll make, and they're not even close to the majority of the population. Also, with jobs overseas, our own workers will be left jobless with no source of steady income. Without this income, they can't feed their families or pay their bills. With this in mind, how could anyone possibly support such a terribly selfish idea?

ReplyDeleteFinally, two people who are decent enough to bring sense to this situation! WE are the majority. There is no such system where there can exist more business owners than workers! If such a system existed, many businesses would be without employees. Also, we have only just been FORCED into these jobs. The government has stripped us of our land and meshed it all together for universal agriculture, leaving us homeless and jobless. They can't take our jobs again, for where would we go from there?
Karl Marx (Braden Fleming):
ReplyDeleteJust because there will be more jobs for the working class, doesn't mean it will benefit them! Not everything is about you upperclassmen. Those poor laborers can find plenty of jobs as it is. After all, the entrepreneurs can never have enough employees, especially at the rate they're paying those people. Shifting the jobs will only make the government pay more money to pay for transportation which will lead to the poor working in the same awful conditions they're working in now. Why even bother doing this? If we conjoined the classes so there are no more labels, then the poor could make more money which would lead to our economy becoming stronger. We do not need to travel over seas to do this. So before you make a decision which could only lead to spending a lot of money, you must think to yourself is it really worth it? Why do that when you could help our social classes which could help our economy in the meantime.
