How can someone be dirt poor and another be filthy rich?

Because that's exactly how the capitalist system was designed. How could everyone be filthy rich? The notion that everyone can be rich if they work hard enough is simply not true. Now go out and buy and iphone so they can get even richer!


Who was given the task of to make the decisions necessary to destroy the capitalist system?

Barrack Hussein Obama, Eugene V. Debbs, Huey Long... Other filthy socialists or liberals.


Where did Bill Gates get his idea of Microsoft from?

He did not steal it, he bought it fair and square. Even in his wildest dreams there was no way to predict DOS would be as popular as it ended up being. Why Microsoft got huge really quick? 1. IBM was coming out in full force with their first personal computer, the IBM PC. 2. IBM did NOT have software to run on it. 3. Bill Gates and company knew that whoever sold the software for the IBM PC would get filthy rich. 4. IBM did not give a crap about the software, they were interested in selling PCS. 5. Bill Gates and co. found out that the owner of CP/M would welcome a purchase offer. 6. Microsoft convinced IBM that they had the OS that would make the IBM PC rock. 7. IBM said sure, we'll buy it. 8. Microsoft said I'm sorry, you misunderstood us. We want to license it to you, on a per unit basis. 9. IBM said sure, why not? 10. Microsoft said oh, and we can sell it to anyone else we want. 11. IBM said sure, why we care? All we want is to sell PCs. Microsoft turned around, purchased CP/M and used it as the basis for DOS. Then they sold to to anyone that wanted it. That is why Microsoft got filthy rich. They got even richer later with Windows, but they became a monster thanks to the licensing deal with IBM. What was Microsoft's claim for fame before DOS? They wrote one of the very first BASIC interpreters for kit computers.


How can the presence or absence of natural resources and arable land affect a nation's economy?

That's like asking how can the presence of lungs and other vital organs affect life if their was no air being breathed by a human. The organs, like resources, are nice, but do nothing without air or an economic system to power them. Natural Resources are neither sufficient or necessary for economic development in any one particular country. Economic systems explain why resource rich Nigeria is dirt poor, while resource scarce nations like Japan are filthy rich. However, if all nations had the same economic system, then the nation with natural resources would of course be richer in real terms. The textbook explanation is that resource presence increase a nation's Long Run Supply, or Production Possibilities. However, there is no guarantee that the nation will actually put these resources to use, and fulfill their potential economic development.


Should boys be required to do home economics?

Being a boy means you are on your way to becoming a man. A man is able to be self sufficient with a proper balance in your life. It is important to keep things running smoothly, and maintaining good health, nutrition, and personal hygiene by having the skills to perform all of the functions required to thrive the modern home. Boys often go from the care of their parents at home to bachelorhood - lacking many of the skills needed to take care of themselves. Usually, one or the other parent is the primary caretaker of the home doing chores of house cleaning, laundry, sewing, shopping, preparing meals, and washing dishes. Children tend to rely too heavily on this care. Having children, both boys and girls, help with the chores at home relieves some of the burden off parents, and gives the child some of the skills and work ethics that will improve their future relationships and other life endeavors. One of the main things to learn about home economics is that it is the responsibility of both people in a domestic relationship. Even if one partner is decidedly the primary money earner, the paying job is typically a 40 hour per week commitment. However, the obligations of caring for the home, and/or children is a 24/7 responsibility. Young men should learn that it is not a fair assessment that the money belongs to the husband who works a job while the wife stays at home, or that all of the domestic duties fall on the woman. The reality is that neither spouse can get hired to work a job, yet ignore the chores that maintain a home, especially if there are children. The caring for the home and children is a joint responsibility, and should be shared equally. To come home from work, and expect that your job is done is an antiquated notion, and young boys need to begin to learn the skills necessary to take an equal part in home economics, regardless of who earns the most money. Disputes over finances is one of the leading causes of divorce, and broken homes, therefore it is wise to learn how to manage a household budget, and have both partners take an equal roll in the sharing of the funds, the paying of the bills, and doing the chores to maintain the house and care for children.
