You're funny because you think that all liberals are ancoms.


and your funny because you cant provide a more fair and equitable plan than my plan to divide wealth equally by population.

By "Don't Tread on Me" they usually mean "Don't Tread on Me Before I Get to Tread on You".
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.

If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Nah, GDP doesn't work that way and whilst I admire your commitment to fairness giving people 40k a year or whatever will only lead to a rise the price of goods and the collapse of private investment (especially when inflation kicks in)



Probably but I think its more that I'm a very bad cynic


how do you raise prices if the quantity of money remains the same ??

you just take it from the greedy and lucky rich and give it to the unlucky hardworking poor who were born into poverty.

same amount of money chasing the same amount of goods.

It's supply and demand that affects prices and inflation. I would guess there's more people below the $42,000-ish (or whatever number you said in the OP) line than above, so you'd naturally have a dramatic increase in items bought as the poorer people in the nation start buying everything they can with their newfound, unearned money. This leads to inflation of commonly sought goods such as everyday foods as corporations struggle to meet the demand when they are paying every single one of their employees $42,000 a year.

Not to mention a completely reinvented economy that would take years to stabilize and may collapse before it can stabilize, further complicated by the significant anti-communist public opinion in the United States which would lead the nation to complete and total economical and political collapse. Countries can't just change their policies between the capitalist and communist system freely. Gorbachev tried by instituting reforms from communist to capitalist, and his country (USSR) collapsed and the Russian Federation fell into a deep economic recession that lasted for years until it stabilized.

Point is, your idea isn't possible.

I'm always struck by athletes and artists who think that it must be because they are so talented. There are a lot of talented athletes and artists out there.

Gabbie, Usain, Michael, Barbara, George, Maya (net worth $28 million) and many other athletes and artists may think they are gold medalists or millionaire artists because they worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you artists and athletes -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.

Somebody invested in those pools, tracks, movie theaters, book stores, and balance beams. Somebody built the roads that these athletes and artists traveled to get to their jobs, to build their computers, to protect them from fire and theft.

God bless these successful athletes and artists, but they need to payback. Do these athletes and artists really need more than $100,000 a year to live on when there are families living in the street ???

Moreover, since nobody earns what they have acquired without the sacrifice of the little guy -- I got a fair formula:

US GDP = $14 trillion divided by 330 million Americans = $42,000 a year.

Hence, what could be more fair than to give every American a paycheck of $42,000 a year. Moreover, since children are our most precious asset, someone like the Octomom, who has 14 children as of 5:00 pm EST, should get her fair share of $588,000/year.

These are self-evident truths:

1) Behind every successful person are myriad hard-working citizens and their families who don't get their fair share.

2) What could be more fair than equal distribution of wealth based on population?

3) By dividing societal wealth solely based on output/population, politicians couldn't be corrupted by money since the formula for distribution is built into the Constitution.

In sum, how many liberals, leftists, marxists, socialists, democrats, do you think would support this eminently fair and incorruptible plan?

Conservatives, libertarians, anarcho-capitalists, et al please don't respond, this exercise is not for you, it is for the 'kids'.

Stop getting so offensive against people. You're attacking them for no reason but disagreeing with your ideology.
