I put the context back into millzy's post so that you can clearly see he wasn't making the argument that resources are unlimited.  He was making the argument that markets are subject to man made rules.



He stated that markets are man made, I showed markets involving resources are NOT man made because of the supply and demand part of the equation.



markets are man-made.



Akira is right.  And besides, millzy didn't make the argument that resources are unlimited.  That was a straw man.

money being spent changes the value of wealth. It INCREASES wealth



Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.  If too much money chases to few of goods, what happens?  Inflation, which ultimately destroys some of the purchasing power of the existing currency units and the debt held in that currency.



Just a moment ago, you argued that wealth isn't money.  Are you now arguing that wealth is ONLY money?  Sure, there might be some inflation (which the Federal Reserve would slow), but the goods created by money also increases wealth.

tariffs are bad unless corporations choose not to share all the extra money they get from free trade with their workers



I'm not sure this statement even makes sense, what are you trying to articulate here?



I'm sure you agree that corporations would make more money without tariffs.  So they could use some of that extra money to pay their workers more.  If they did that, I'd support free trade.

But as you know, corporations have no interest in paying their workers fairly.  Instead, they'll find a location where they can pay workers the least.  This costs US jobs.  One way to counter that is with tariffs (so products made in foreign countries aren't priced lower than American products).  Not the best solution, but it beats losing jobs to cheaper locations abroad.




Sounds like you support economic tariffs unless you go to theoretical land where corporations were going to give away money to workers when they didn't have to at all, was it that hard to admit it?  Now explain it to Millzy. :lol:

No, that's a straw man.  I support economic tariffs unless Government steps in to help distribute the resulting wealth from free trade to workers.

Yay, you engaged in another semantics battle, I SHOULD have originally said market fundamentals are NOT man made, that was the core argument that was taking place, but by all means continue those semantics debates.

What about the non-workers who lost their job as a result of "free trade"?  Why reward the people that were lucky enough to still have employment at the company?

Once again, you're in favor of tariffs unless there's a redistribution of wealth mandated by the government.

Here's my position, I'm in favor of tariffs unless there's a big asteroid that crashes into the earth and causes chaos for the human species.

I guess I wasn't clear.  When I said "I support economic tariffs unless Government steps in to help distribute the resulting wealth from free trade to workers", I meant ALL workers for that company, not just the US based workers.  In other words US corporations should pay people the same regardless of where they are.  That would disentivize companies from setting up shops overseas in the first place.  Similarly, foreign corporations that want to sell in the US would have to have some minimum worker standard.  I guess that's not technically "free" trade, but it keeps the money in the corporation.

Bernie is in favor of economic tariffs, Ecstatic called it a pipedream, I will let him clarify his position before saying anything else about it.

You don't have positions, you're just Mr. Middle Gray. :rofl2:

So because I think tariffs are farfetched that means I dont believe in Bernie's core economic policy?

How nice of you to let me clarify before you attach some more of your assumptions onto my posts. Pfft.
