Wasn't I clear enough when I said that in some circumstances the labor input can be constant, the capital input constant, but that real wealth can be created.

No. My response was to your suggestion that wealth creation can occur without consumption being a part of the equation. You statement on constants occurred otherwise in another context. For the record, I agree that if capital input and labour input are constant that
real revenue increases can be made with efficiency or production improvements. But that wasn't the point here. Or was it? I'm not sure what your point is.
I think your point is that efficiency or productivity improvement can increase revenues and/or reduce expenses, which can lead to increased profits. This is true. But what's the point and what does it have to do with this thread?

Never did I say it could happen without labor or capital. And, note the example was in direct response to a point you made, to take my point out of context seems a bit wrong to me for anyone wanting a serious discussion. But, I guess you have already made it clear that these things are so simple that they are not worthy of serious discussion - and some wonder why severe unemployment persists in the US.

Don't make insinuations about me based on my confusion that arises out of your own lack of cogency. It makes you look bad.
If you haven't noticed, I'm trying to have a serious discussion. I'm trying really hard to know what your arguments are. Will you work with me here?

- I wasn't referring to Greece. (Where did that come from? Did you mean Germany?)
- Lowering taxes won't solve Greece's problems either.
- Greece's problems aren't a tax problem.
- No single factor is fully attributable to Greece's problems.
- I would appreciate it if you would stay focused.
