  1.  Frederic Bastiat  wow you are stupid. That new technology required more skills to use. See an engineer is paid more then a day laborer on a farm picking vegetables not because the engineer has 3 arms but because he has more skills. The same is true with the modern worker allowing more productivity in the modern workforce. If you only believe workers are just arms and legs you have no clue about the modern workforce.

  2.  @lewistaylor2858  actually the government created the money. But the laborers working for Amazon collected it from the economy and brought it into the company through their hard work. Jeff Bezos didn't create  $149,353 of new money every minute last year. He knows he doesn't earn that money it is why he calls it winnings not earning. Because he know the people working for his company did the hard work which pulled that wealth out of the economy Jeff Bezos was just fortunate enough to skim away the fruits of their labor.

  3.  Frederic Bastiat  that tractor also requires far more skill to operate than the shovel which is what you have to pay the workers for.

  4.  Frederic Bastiat  but yet you defend the fact that the Barrons of Industry take the profits not passing on higher wages. Incomes in America have been stagnant for 4 decades while income inequality has grown thanks to tax cuts for the wealthy and the mindset that they barons of industry should get the profits from increased worker productivity not the workers. That was the point. So I am glad you realize that Jeff Bezos didn't create that wealth it was infact a result of the entire labor force he hired and worked to the point that they can't even take bathroom breaks for fear of not making their productivity quota.

  5.  Frederic Bastiat  pull out your wallet and look at that government issued currency you will quickly realize it was made by the federal government. If anyone else is actually printing money you better report them to the FBI because it is illegal.

  6.  Frederic Bastiat  except that if you check the value of a US dollar vs the number of dollars in circulation you will quickly find out your basic ecominic theory is wrong.

  7.  Frederic Bastiat  sorry but if you don't understand the value of the dollar I won't waste my time any more on a 10 month old discussion
