Maybe it's time the ruling class share. They can't do anything with their wealth except accumulate more. They don't do anything except plot and scheme against those who would ask for a few crumbs.

Maybe this is the time world wide....

What makes you think for one second that the rich owe you anything?
Did you invest money in a company that became profitable and provides jobs for others?
Do you work 20 hours a day to get a business off the ground?
Do you work for a low salary and put most of your money into a business?

No you sit on your ass and demand that other people peel off bills from their stash to give to you.

4. Of course they know, but they don't feel threatened as long as everyone is working.
   
Massive strikes remind them that they can be removed from their positions of power.

Sounds violent to me.

55. How could we accomplish a totally even distribution of wealth?
   
Should it all be divided absolutely equally, regardless of who produces it or who wants it? From each according to his ability and to each according to his need may sound idyllic but it has no chance of working as long as humans strive for what's universally seen as a "better life" and if they stop hoping for that, the species has no hope anyway.

No person is going to do anything productive if there's no chance to be better in some (usually economic) way.

Freeper troll.

62. "Share"??? "SHARE"?!?!
   
How about start getting it to its rightful owners - the workers they made it off the backs of and the pension funds and small investors they ripped off? "Share" makes it sound like they earned it in the first place.

(To quote myself from a few days ago when it was proposed that corporations "share." I think it's really important what we call this.)

Yet you would be ok if they give you money that you didn't earn.
Only a lib could think that a business owner or corporation just has the money handed to them. They know nothing about how that evil rich person got that money. Never mind the hard work and the long hours they put in somehow the DUmmies are owed for the other person's work.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Take every last penny from that 1% and divide up and everyone will still be poor. There won't be any jobs left since the wealthy would have to shutter their businesses, so no food or merchandise gets produced or sold.  Seems like a good plan DUmmies.

There the primitives go again.

It's difficult to determine "per capita wealth" on a global scale, but one figure that seems reasonable to me is $147, from two or three years ago.  That's probably the best guesstimate out there.

Okay, primitives.

You want to divvy up the wealth, so that those with less can have more.

Divest yourselves of all but $147 in material goods--all but $147 in real estate you own, automobiles you own, the food in the cupboards, the clothes in the wardrobes, the pharmaceuticals in the medicine cabinet; all but $147 in televisions, computers, wi-fis, cellular telephones, whatnot ever else, so that the wealth is equally distributed.

The primitives have no idea what poverty really is.

Redistribute the wealth equally....suits me.

In a weeks time some of "us" would be better off and equally rich. While the DUmmies, as usual, would be worse off and equally poor. In a months time some of "us" would be richer than others but we would all still be way ahead of the DUmmies.... and all they would have left to barter for goods and services would be their labor....which, unlike money, they don't like to part with.

Boortz makes that point all the time. Tomorrow you could redistribute ever single dollar in this country equally and in a year, we'd all be in the same position we're in today, with the rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer, etc. The people making stupid decisions will STILL make stupid decisions and, if I know the DUmbasses right, they'll be right back on the innerwebs bitching about how they got screwed. Bunch of whiny little bitches, the DUers.  ::)

DUmbass, it would do you well to remember that when you attempt to take by force from the producers in this country, we are the ones with all of the firepower.  And we'll be more than happy to dole out our treasure in lead, one round at a time.

I think that our ruling class got a pretty loud shout out this last November.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

My,....almost sounds like the Dummie is calling for protests for free stuff. Go smoke another bong, you primitive. Actually, don't. Try to stay away from the grass and get a job. They you'd be able to provide for yourself and have all the crumbs you want.

By world standards, even the poor in this country out earn (if collecting welfare, food stamps, or disability is considered earning) a crap load of a lot more than the poorest people in the other places.  Therefore, if we are going to be doing wealth distribution, the dummies get to poney up some scratch too.
You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

  • Sucking the life out of Liberty
DUmmies how many "poor" in this country do not own:

A cell phone
Car
TV
DVD player
Xbox or other similar entertainment
200 channels of cable
Etc... ad nausea....

How many do not know:
Where their next meal is coming from
If they will live to see the next day
If they have a home to live in, where a car would be better than what they have now
How many of you live in a tin shack, or sleep on a dirt floor and would be GLAD for it?

You assholes have no ****ing clue what "poor" is.
