Forums - General - Nintendo Needs to Share The Wealth

bigjon on 20 October 2008

Nintendo is making soooo much money I think they should have some of their profits taken and given to poorer companies like Midway(if they even still exist). I know midway makes crappy games, but maybe if we give them money it will help level things out.

I hope this isn't an anti-Obama thread. I have a feeling it is, since there's no reason for this to go in Off Topic.

 Me? You know me better than that...

 

No it is an anti socialism thread. Now if you want to say it is anti Obama you would have to tie him to socialism. I am not going to do that in this thread however. I think people can decide if they think he is a socialist.

 No this would not be VOLUNTARY.

I know charible giving is nice and all, and it is better than being forced to give...

But there are some companies going broke.... It is just not fair.

Is Adam Smith a socialist?  Adam Smith said that the wealthy should pay a larger proportion of taxes than the poor, he even seperates taxes into those on the necessary (poor) and those on the luxury (rich).

The rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion. - Adam Smith

If Barrack Obama is a socialist, then so is Adam Smith.

Well I assumed it was anti-Obama since I'm sure you've called Obama a socialist before (it's on the list of anti-Obama cliches, after all). And I don't get the Midway analogy. Are you implying that they don't deserve money because their games are crappy, or because no one deserves Nintendo's money? Is Nintendo the government of the videogame industry? Are employees of Midway being laid off and forced to live in the streets? Are Midway employees unable to pay their mortgages because Nintendo decided that they should only be paid minimum wage?

The analogy is confusing, I must say.

It's disappointing when seemingly smart people get baited so easily.

Can we talk more about all the wonderful things Nintendo does instead?
