So last night she talked about creating a profit sharing plan for employees of private businesses because "if you helped create the profits, you should share in those profits". HUH? Did those employees work to get the business started? Were they up until 3am working on it? Are they going to help cover the debt if the biz fails? On and on and on!
How a sane, grown adult can think like this is beyond me....so anyone whom agrees with this thinking, please explain to me why.

A govt-imposed "profit sharing plan for employees" - they're not even hiding anymore.

No, but their labor helped create the profits. No other way around that. One side sticks up for laborers, the other side sticks up for the executives. And given our 3rd world level disparity of wealth, I would say it's time we focus on laborers in this country. How any sane adult can hate laborers so much is beyond me. What you want, slave labor?

their labor created the profits you say.....you do realize they get paid hourly or salary to do so, don't you? How is that slave labor? So I invested my money to start a business with no guarantees of it working out...I worked long, hard hours to make it a success, yet an employee should share that because the government says so? How am I standing up for exectuvies? I am standing up for people that own a business!! So you are ok with stealing as long as it is done by the government? Please tell me your post was a joke.

I hate it when people cannot be honest....if you make a valid "liberal" point I will concede such...there is no way you can believe what you wrote unless you are really an idiot. I hate employees? I have been an employee before, my Daughter is an employee somewhere and I do not hate her...but she should NOT get profit sharing where she works unless the owner decides that he is what he or she wants to do.

Of course I believe it. The data shows that our country has a 3rd world level disparity of wealth. We should be doing anything to try to close that gap. A profit sharing initiative, even a small one that Hillary is promoting is a good start. I stick up for laborers because the data says laborers are getting screwed. Not a huge fan of plutocracies and definitely not a fan of giving tax cuts to the people who already have all the money. It's ridiculous. How any grown adult can hate laborers that much is beyond me. "Liberals" like me make decisions based off data. If business owners and capitalists were getting screwed in this country, I would be for cutting taxes and giving them more money. But data shows laborers are getting screwed, so I agree with policies to close that wealth disparity. Either raise wages, have profit sharing, anything to close that gap.

Ya, she said this during the 10 minutes I caught and I thought it was absurd. It's shit like this that makes me angry that the Republicans couldn't nominate a decent candidate. Instead they nominated the one guy that I find more repulsive than her.

I didn't realize that owning a business automatically places you in the .01%. Learn something new every day.

Wow. Scary that you actually believe what you are writing. When I started the business I currently own, I did not take home a penny for THREE years.....3 YEARS! No one seemed to care about that, nor should they have!

I didn't realize every business would be treated the same. Learn something new every day.

I must have missed where she mentioned how different businesses would be treated differently. What's the cut off for profit sharing? .01%? 1%? 5%?

What happens if I net 1.5 million in 2015 and lose 1 million in 2016? Do the employees give something back in 2016 or am I supposed to take on the full risk without the full reward?

McCain and Romney were your perfect candidates. They lost...to a community organizer.

so you want to live in a country where the Government decides for each business how much of their profits are given to other people? Communist much?

exactly...sickening that people think like this.

We live in a weird time. 90% of people want every damn issue to be black and white. You either have to be pro-business and anti-worker or pro-worker and anti-business. I find it to be absurd.

You act like this profit sharing plan is meant for small businesses, lol. It's target is mainly for corporations that make billions in profits and have thousands of employees. You'll see very little impact as a small business. It's not like it's going to be just some blanket program that takes profits from any business and split them evenly, lol. It's a very menial plan that gives workers making low wages a little increase. You'll be fine, lol.
