The number of people employed is related directly to the amount of products sold vs the efficiency of making said product.

Back in 2014, when Ireland corporate taxes were low:

The "people" you are defending in your statement are earning millions upon millions a year. There is no way they can spend the money and therefore they certainly don't need it.

All it does is make them "look good" when the numbers become public. Like kids yelling, "Look at me and what I did, mommy!"

Some people never grow up. And most of them are family-made millionaires. Bill Gates is not one of them, but I'll bet his kids will be just that kind ...

89.993% then?

The overwhelming majority of people posting on this board are socialists', Communists.

I will acknowledge that USMB leans right - and the fact is that DP is far left. Bumping heads with the Marxists is why I come here.

Chuckle.

Did you get a Trump stimulus check?

Did you know the US economy is a mixed economy of capitalism and socialism?

The fact is DP lost a good number of conservatives because they were utterly embarrassed of the clown show that was the Trump Presidency.

You clearly know nothing about communists, socialists, or the Democratic Party.
 
Here's a good debate on socialism versus capitalism. The debate goes to ~49:00, where the audience questions start.

Note: I'm not advocating for either capitalism or socialism.
