Now imagine every tenth customer starts stealing.
Now the company has to increase prices to compensate for the loss of profits. We all start paying for the shoplifters, ridiculous, right?
But who are we really protecting by paying more, though? The shoplifters or the company? Who's REALLY the parasite here? The rich company or the person forced to steal?
EDIT because I might've not made my point clear - if we eliminate the company and replace it with public services, there would be noone to take profit and thus no need to hike the prices.
Privatization is evil. The idea of profit is parasitic.
A good argument for reducing inequality through higher taxes.
Exactly my point, thank you
Dear God, think of the profits!!!
I am thinking of all the profits!
