If the top 80% had to give up all assets/ownership to be equal to bottom20%,would you?
A question-if the top 80% had all their wealth taken away, so they could be equal
to the 20% of the poorest, I would be 100% for that.
Would you?
That means anyone not in the poorest 20% would have to give up everything to be in the 20% poorest.
Then say give everyone $75,000 a year and free school and free health insurance.
Are you in?
see, what I keep gathering is, most people are not actually wanting to give up theirs to become the poorest of the poor, which makes the faux protest well, faux.
I would gladly give up everything I have to be equal with the 20% poor, as long as the 80% who are above the 20% of the people, do the same.
(and that includes ALL assets and material items and homes and cars and everything including all land).
So, there are 320 million people.
80% would be 256 million people would have to give up everything
leaving 64 million people as the 20% poorest, to be joined by the 80%.
Are you in?

Isn't that the goal of liberalism, to have everyone poor and dependent on the government?

4. Some people read your posts and ask why.
I read your posts and say "who cares?"
Looks like Graham Cracker primitive is too loony even for the DUmp.
If he wasn't a true moonbat and said stupid shit like this all year round, I would suspect this was an April Fool's joke.

5. Yep, I'm there.
All this consuming is much too complicated and a lot of work too.
"Property is theft".
Property is theft, unless such property belongs to the DUmmy, then it's hands off.

Surprise surprise,hardly a one of them will go along with what they are endlessly demanding happen.
In short these leeches don`t want "equality" they all just want to be on the top without doing a damn thing to earn it.

And that is the core of their existence. H5.

And in a country that elects its executive and legislative branches, you would take everything away from 4 out of 5 people exactly how...?
:rotf:

And within a year or two we would have varying income levels again as those who are willing to work make money.
I'm far from being wealthy at the moment, and I have a large amount of debt, but I'm already looking toward the future. I have plans for home ownership and I work really hard to put money into my "downpayment" savings account with every paycheck. I cut expenses as much as possible on non-necessities so that I can pay off my debt and save money. Why do they want to penalize those who have made good financial decisions?

And in the next thread they will complain bitterly that RWers have it wrong when RWers say socialism is about destroying prosperity and making everyone equally miserable.
"You just don't understand TRUE socialism because you're a stupidhead who's stupid!" </proglodyte>

Great. What are you going to do next year?

O.o Huh?
Damn the bad luck. You had me until then.

I will gladly donate 80% of my magazine to Crackas' forehead.

54. Maybe because it is.
I fear we're going to lose one of our contenders. Please don't hurt him, Skinner!

What's the point of going to school if all you can get is a guarantee of $75k a year and free health care?
See DUmmie, socialism takes away creativity and innovation. All your going to wind up with are lazy zombies.
There will be an incentive to breed though, based on your numbers of $75 per person. Kinda like what your welfare system does already.

:thatsright: :banghead: :hammer: :rant: :stoner:

If we do that on a world wide scale, then all the peeps on govt assistance have to give up a boat load of money too. They have no idea what real poverty is like.

Problem is, DUmmies, cream always rises to the top! All things STARTING equal, there will always be people (even in some of your favorite socialist countries) who have drive & ambition and a desire to succeed. Those people will quickly turn that $75,000 into a fortune and then you'll be back where you started. Well, I shouldn't say "back" because you wouldn't have moved...maybe down, but otherwise you'd just stagnate. See, there are people in this world thrive on challenge. Now, after going through your twisted "wealth transfer to the lazy & unambitious" they'd probably choose to move elsewhere. Eventually, you'd be a whole country of poor and lazy.

Been tried throughout history to the same conclusion. Socialism doesn't work. DUmbasses NEVER learn from history. This moves them from the "ignorant" camp to the "stupid" camp.

This tells me that the DUmmy, like so many other DUmmies, is more intent on hurting the haves than helping the have nots. Their ideology is based on hate and envy. Otherwise, why would you wait? If you are really that commited to giving up your finances and lifestyle to help the poor, why would you wait for this set of circumstances that includes all others before doing something yourself?
There is no love in their ideology. For all their posturing there is only burning anger and a desire to punish those who worked harder or are more fortunate.

You said that very well. Almost as well as Winston Churchill.

Correct, because I actually worked for my money. You just stand around with your hand out waiting for me to hand you a few bennies. Isn't going to happen.
