By this point in the expansion, you have, no doubt, drawn national attention, and the state would have little choice but to intervene, because of the rising affluence of the area, it's defeating the "fairness paradigm" upon which the entire system is based.

My hunch is (and again, it's not my system, so ultimately, we'll have to wait for the expert to chime in) that you would be shut down.

Unfair to who though?

In that case , Kidicious , would you condone rather unfair business practices ? And is that copying really morally right ?

You misrepresent me when you ask the questions. It's not a big deal if you just don't do it so much. I'm sure I do the same thing.

You may ask me three questions. I will answer them regardless.

Vel - at leas Kidicious has agreed with us the rising affluence of a city or region is not unfair . Neither is that of individuals if they earn it without exploiting ( by paying more than the state ) .

The thing is the state is already authorized to charge any price they care to in the interest of the people.

Kidicious - please answer the question in my post before your last .

The business was set up outside the system. They trade with the system which is fine as long as those in the system agree. That's my rational.

What I also meant is - is the destruction of a company paying higher wages , causing prosperity , and giving the people more choice really in the interest of the people ?

This one?

I don't think it would be unfair business practices, because no agreement has been made about fair business practices. The family has set themselves up as outsiders. If the system wants to trade with them fine, but with no trade agreement they are justified in dumping on the market.

Does the company and it's workers pay taxes or something? Why should the system be concerned with them at the expense of the people who contribute to the system?

Of course it pays taxes . In fact , it is a major contributor to the local government programs , because it wants to maintain good relations with the state .

Also , even if the government had the power to close it down by flooding the market , would it be right to do so if it hurt the interests of the very people the government is supposed to protest ?

The workers also pay taxes .

What would be the purpose of taxes in a communist system. The state pays everyone.

Who would it hurt, and why?
