Poll question: Are you a consumer or producer?

Edited on Tue May-10-11 02:05 PM by harun

Explain why below.

(No you are not both, pick which you are primarily. Example if you are a farmer, factory owner, mine owner, etc. you are primarily a producer. I am pretty sure everyone knows what a consumer is)

5. Sounds a little like the Ayn Rand fallacy...

...where you're either a producer or a parasite. :puke:

9. "Your" argument...?

Since the OP has a different username than you, I have to ask: Sockpuppet much?

Besides, I'd say the responses only show that people here are a lot more sensible than to allow themselves to be pigeonholed into an either/or classification based only on the OP's say-so. It's a little like saying "are you a liberal, or are you an American? -- and, no, you can't be both." Sorry, but that dog won't hunt.

11. In this day and age, I would think that even producers by trade are primarily consumers.

Unless one is living off the land and does not require additional items and services.
