    or
    simply accept a smaller profit margin.
    This is what the left really wants to talk about, though. Curtailing the stupendous profits that are earned on the backs of the working class. It's an excellent idea if you have never owned nor participated in the running of a business. Businesses lose money constantly. Businesses fail every day. If only they could have "simply accepted a smaller profit margin" maybe they would still be around. When I go out today, there is a risk I will be hit by a car when I'm walking the street. If that unlikely event comes, I'll simply accept a lower profit margin and my crushed bones should heal right up.

    Why can't people understand that the potential for profit in business is but one variable in a complex probability equation that only the most proficient risk-takers can safely navigate? Accepting a lower profit margin is not an option in a world where the margins become razor thin as a market matures, and in a world where not all bets result in payoffs.
