RE: Can You win an argument against me? A new series to challenge your debating skills.

You are absolutely wrong. You can call capitalists any bad things as much as you want, but they do not exploit workers. In a free market supply and demand determines the fair value of labor.

Workers fully agree when they enter into a contract with their employer. They are not force to do so in any shape or form. Workers agree to trade their labor and time for financial gains. Worker can walk away anytime they choose.

Workers are NOT creator's of wealth. Companies and economies create wealth. Workers are just one piece of the puzzle. Only labor cannot do anything on its own. You need technology, you need financial capital, you need resources, you need brilliant minds to make this happen.

Workers are simply physical or mental labor. That is it. If labor was able to create wealth on its own, then everybody would work for themselves and be their own bosses.

For me this is the best argument. Concise and hard to attack with little room for interpretation.

lol, I actually don't believe half of what I said. I agree with you workers are exploited. Because companies and politicians are in collusion most of the time, that leaves little or no power to demand what they deserve.

Thanks, it was good thought experiment. You should do more of these.
