Are you?

>them help the BLIND, ORPHANED African, Haitian, or Bangladeshi child!!! Cynical?
>Maybe! But that's how charities work including the Gates Foundation.

The Gates Foundation has contributed $250 million in grants to build small schools in poor areas of the US. Again, what have you done?

Well, if we had a proper tax rate in place, like 90% (incl. inheritance) for everyone above $100M, no loopholes, it'll all be a more cohesive society!

What I have done??? Probably more than you ever will!

It's never about what he can do. Or what we all can do. It's always about what someone else should be made to do.

That won't even cover the deficit, and once you take that, what are you going to do for *next* year?

Yes. What have you done? It's a simple question. You claim that the rich "are not helping the poor and needy in America" but they give millions. I think you're a better target for your own ire, since you can't even give a single example of what you have done for the poor in the US.

SO cohesiveness is your goal? Nothing says "cohesiveness" like equal misery for all.

Yes, a cohesive society is a good goal.

If you can't walk around freely in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, any time, day or night, because of "class warfare" brought on by abject poverty and lack of opportunities.
We have enough wealth in this country! It just needs to distributed more evenly!

P.S.: Works great for the Scandinavian countries and most of Europe. Ever seen a high-speed train in the US??? Or a decent US-engineered (Ford, GM, Chrysler) car?

Well, once all the rich have been robbed, they are no longer rich! And the poor, will be longer poor! But everybody will have enough and we'll all be better off...

Go pack your ball of crap! It's disgusting!:)

Do as you please. After all "Texas is like a whole 'nother country." Lived in Harris County, I understand.

Best wishes to you and Texas. I am done w/ this thread. Too many village idiots!

The problem with your idea, and it is not a new one of course, is that the rich are now motivated to hide their money even better, and the poor are motivated even less to work for their "earnings".

But if I understand your feud with "The Texan", this US Debt and Economy issue, isn't really your problem, is it?

You finally show your true bearings as just another imperialist pig suckling dry the breasts of the working class that feed you!
I am ready to become a martyr in the pursuit of happiness for all! Not just the well-to-do. Go ahead and ban me, torturer!!!

P.S.: This is just too much fun.

Why don't you refocus on your thread a minute. You will lose the big dick contest here any way, it is the internet after all.

Your idea has flaws, big flaws, see them yet?

My point is that it does not need to be that way. In a society w/o the superrich, everybody can live comfortably. If that means 90% taxes, so be it.

Heck, the US has not produced a car that it can sell outside of its own borders (GM, Ford, Chrysler).
One of the most successful companies worldwide, Volkswagen, "People's Car", has now taken steps to restrict availability of their workers by e-mail beyond working hours!!

IMAGINE!!!!

Is there an example of this society?

But you idea, again not new, wont work here. The rich will move their money and the poor will sit back and wait for their mail money (no offense intended to those receiving residuals).

Cool. Always wanted to be an imperialist pig.

>I am ready to become a martyr in the pursuit of happiness for all!

But apparently not willing to help them. Interesting.
