What does removing a profit incentive do for you?

The capitalist cheerleaders would love to tell all about the beauties that accompany profit incentives. People work harder for higher rewards, companies will produce higher quality products for consumers for better sales to increase profits, what else? I think that is about it, that is where the profit incentive beauties end and the profit incentive uglies begin.

What could one expect with no profit incentive and really do profit incentive beauties really disappear when the incentive is gone.

Well with no profit incentive, one no longer needs to wonder about motives in the news. Is NBC telling me that Saddam is a threat because he truly is, or is it because their owners, GE who makes weapons desire a big contract?

Am I being treated for a disease when I could be cured? Could a cure be developed for this disease, a cure that would not make as much money for Proctor and Gamble as treating me in a long drawn out process that costs a lot of money?

Am I not getting a test done for this cough because it would cost my insurance or HMO too much money to run? Is there a profit motive behind me feeling sick?

Is this company telling me that clear cutting the mountain is not harmful because they have a profit incentive in doing so?

Are we going to war for a motivated profit in oil or because there is a real threat?

Is the food I am eating being downgraded to save money for the profit incentive? Are unhealthy chemicals being put in because it is cheaper than serving real food?

Is my workplace as safe as it could be, or is there a profit motivation at work to make it as cheap as possible and does safety cut into profits?

Is the product I am buying as good as they say, or are they cutting costs on production for more profits or to put into name recognition campaigns?

No profits, no commercials, no news holding to advertisers.

No profits, no politicians going for election to aid their companies or interests.

No profits, no more worry about the possible ulterior motives of politicians.

Do profits and better pay incentives make better workers? Well from 2000 to 2003 America experienced some of the highest productivity levels ever seen before by American workers, yet at the same time. Raises were at their lowest levels as was most increases in wages. The cost of living went up, workers were making less and yet somehow producing more.
So much is cleared up and easier to ascertain when profit motive is removed. True intentions are revealed to the public. Why is the American public stilled on crutches, leaning on this system of corruption and deceit? Probably because it has been sold, sold like so many shoddy products with great advertisements, as the best system around.
