HeadingNorth Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I always had you down as a bit of a harmless, naive Tory, not one that is stark raving bonkers! You could try looking up the figures yourself, if you insist on refusing to believe anyone telling you what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedbirdone Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Businesses do not make money, they generate it. Making money is the reserve of the Rpyal Mint in the UK and what you say how not creating jobs is the sympton of the modern era and reason why the masses have had enough. Something very bad is going to happen sooner than later. Make / generate you knew excatly what i was meaning. If i purchased something at £100 and sold it on for £110, i would say ive made £10 in that sale, not ive generated £10. So your suggesting companys employ people even if there isnt actually anything for them to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
