This is so fucked up.
1% of US population owns 2/3 of the resources. With the current setup of the society geared for survival in the rat race for many and the game of monopoly for the elites, it’s no wonder civilization is poised to implode. And the elites will wage phony wars using the masses and such measure to cull the population and own titles to other resources not yet in their hands.
ur totally avoiding the point respond when you can talk normal
Civilization in it’s game of monopoly is feeding the masses w/ illusions as they play in the rat race. One of these is that one can work hard, study enough and is sure to be free out of the rat race. You have to grow wise to realize that it is not so. Laws are bought, free market is a misnomer and the Santa Claus is a marketing hype.
maybe you need to go back to africa then, cus it is moraly wrong to take something someone has earned and paid taxes on. And the elite as you like to call them are some of the major contibutors of africa i would wonder if they stop giving what would happen. They are already taking their jobs overseas, lets face it we need them no matter how you slice it. They probably funded your financial aid to go to school
For starters, why is Federal Reserve (that is a private corporation) printing money? Why does the gov’t have to borrow via treasury bills? The foundation of money is terribly rigged for the elites. Trickle down economy is a justification in the pyramid of power. Thinking outside the box, studying trickle up system wud be advisable for people like you who may amassed it all and then reincarnate as a bum in Africa (then perhaps u will understand a need for an alternative.
well maybe if people got off their lazy asses instead of complaining that the man is holding them down thenmaybe they would have more
Yes, the masses have to rob back what was robbed of them by the elites. The aborigines, etc. w/c were killed bec. strong armies funded by elites have to have equal chance in the system. And so is the common man of today, who started w/ odds stacked against them and the elites print money, lend money, and make slaves of the common man. Their game is monopoly, the game for most is a rat race.
if you worked for your money you paid taxes then your heirs should be entitled to every penny, this is just plain robbery
You like to keep the pyramid going. This will lead to what is basically scripted – Armageddon! And then a reboot of human history, where man will return to primitive times w/ a couple of elite royalty clans and all others are called subjects.
Maybe it “should of been”, but I don’t live in the US and english is my third language.
@neloobi so basically u have no wealth to give or inherit u must be a lazy prick or ur on welfare, ur so full of envy and cant bare too see others work hard and be more succesful than you
bill gates should stay in computers and out of politics
@Franco187 for someone whose done alot of studying spelling should of been one of your majors
Death tax is a great idea, BUT
let`s just steal whatever we like and skip the moralizing, okay? No need to justify theft, if you see something you like in the window, just smash and grab!
money makes happiness but hapiness is the end result. Focus on the end result there are more ways to hapiness han money
this country’s not overflowing w/ opportunity, unless you think you’re an amazing singer, actor, artist, etc. and are lucky enough and climb on enough people’s heads.
estate tax shouldnt apply to family farms
What’s the point of paying slightly less taxes if you then have to bankrupt yourself to get some healthcare? You won’t be able to convince me that public hospitals, schools and social security are forms of totalitarian oppression. Seeing starving people in the street wouldn’t give me any more “freedom”. I’m not free if everyone around is a slave. You should probably stop wasting your time and energy with me.
I never pretended to be altruistic and selfless, I just want a half-decent society. Your “they can’t tolerate any form of individuality” rheroric is a ridiculous strawmen argument. You are not living alone on a desert island. There is such a thing as the common good, and it doesn’t have to involve denial of basic individual freedom. I’ve traveled a lot and studied world history and economics. I know people in the US don’t have any more freedom than people in Canada or Danemark.
To quote Auguste Comte,”The social point of view cannot tolerate the notion of rights, for such notion rests on individualism. We are born under a load of obligations of every kind. . . After our birth, these obligations increase and accumalate, for it is some time before we can return any service.” Put short, they define freedom as a series of obligations to the state. And see any form of individuality, or individual rights, as intolerable, and somthing to exclude, imprison or standagainstawall
First up, I am not a “dude”. Second, Please do not try semantic trickery on me. They is a third person personal pronoun, suitable for use in the plural. My use of the word is correct, for more information consult an english textbook. But to be more specific the ‘they I refer to are those who pretend to be altruistic and selfless, when what they really want is power over others. To deny the individual rights, freedoms and liberties that are seen as an anathema in their grand vision.
Who is “they”, everyone? Dude sorry to say this but you sound disturbed. Following your logic, if I go to the hospital and don’t get any good care, I should then hope for the hospital to explode.
They did nothing for me but laugh at my circumstance, insult me, threaten me and outright attack me physically. I hope they spend years weeping themselves to sleep and gnashing their teeth and wailing in agony and despair. And all the while I say, Who’s laughing now.
I don’t know why this stayed in my teeth, but to address the issues of social safety net and solidarity, an uniquely international leftist term. Why would I care about strengthening those things that excluded me when I need them because I do not fit into their scheme, don’t have the proper attitude or political views. I see all those losing their jobs and their homes, and I hope that they end up living in the woods and taking food out of others trash as I had to.
I read about it some days ago in another blog and the main things that you mention here are very similar
