Companies often have a hard time understanding why they aren't performing well.  Many consulting firms out there work on those problems.  Companies get into bad habits, their culture gets screwed up and they need help fixing it. 

I'm a writer as well.

A business book that did well and one that was so-so, a novel that didn't and two screenplays, one that is on option now.  And a lot of writing projects for various clients over the years like websites, training courses, strategy papers, market analysis, etc.

The business book was part of my business plan ... I got lucky and it sold a shitload of copies which had a big impact on helping my business grow really quickly.  They were intimately connected.

Fiction and screenplays are a hobby.  I sold a business in 2007 and took few years off surfing and goofing off in Hawaii.  That's when I did more fiction oriented writing.  A few years ago I started another company that I want to keep smaller and more locally focused.

All I can say is if Democrats, or Obama in particular are socialists or closet socialists somehow, there is virtually no evidence as of 2015.  Taxes are still very low relatively speaking, the wage gaps are enormous and predatory capitalism is thriving. 

Corporatism with increasing social safety nets is what we have ... Socialism, as it is understood as a socio-economic system is simply not happening in America ... it is used as a threat or scare tactic.

Also we've already discussed how Norway has similar "income inequality" so keep spouting your slogans and mantras, it's funny. Also socialism is alive and well in America, look at Bernie-he's a fucking Congressman- At least he admits he's a moron socialist retard scum bucket. the USA has a TON of social programs, guess to libs this is not "socialism" though. ROFLMAO

Actually this push in the US for 'socialism' is really a push for Statism with a 'Nomenklatura' i.e elite, priviledged insiders who have money and power, i.e. the ruling class. 

they have the lefties fooled pretty good--under the guise of socialism they will bloat the government up and create positions of power and importance for the Nomeklatura;  thefree stuff and 'socialism' provided are merely the bones they throw to keep the good little puppy dogs wagging their tails.

the wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomenklatura

and this reference in the article is a gem:  To quote: "Milovan Đilas, a critic of Stalin, wrote of the nomenklatura as the new class in his book The New Class: An Analysis of the Communist System, and he claimed that it was seen by ordinary citizens as a bureaucratic élite that enjoyed special privileges and had supplanted the earlier wealthy capitalist élites."

'a bureaucratic elite that enjoyed special privileges and had suplanted the earlier wealthy capitalist elites.'  !!!!!

And that explains people like Obama et. al. who are attacking the capitalist system.

Well exactly, we already have plenty of socialism here, as they so happily point out, but it's never enough when there is still any amount of freedom mixed in

Can you make one post without a straw man?  :facepalm:


--------------------
I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them.  I also attack my side if I think they're wrong.  People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Can you refute that since America has embraced socialism, our debt and decline of the middle class is real?
