People talk badly about socialism and Marxism. Most don't even know what they are. But here is a question for you:

Could you live on $471,465 per year?

If Wealth Was Evenly Distributed Across the US, How Much Money Would Every Person Have?​

According to the Federal Reserve, U.S. households hold $160.35 trillion in combined wealth, which is the value of every American’s assets minus their liabilities.

To say it’s distributed unevenly is too much of an understatement to even qualify as an understatement. The bottom 50% of the country shares less than 3% of that enormous pie, while the most fortunate 10% gorge on nearly all of it.

Here’s a look at how much money each American would have if every person got an equal slice of the country’s wealth.

According to Google’s Data Commons project, the U.S. is home to roughly 340.11 million people.

If they divvied up the country’s $160.35 trillion jackpot equally, each would have about $471,465. That’s $942,930 per couple. If a couple had two kids, the four of them would be sitting pretty with $1.89 million.

The 'country's wealth' speaks volumes. And not in a good way.

I've shown you the study multiple times. You're just a dumb ass woman who desn't know shit about history. Go scramble some eggs.

I've never known a black man or woman who eats scrambled eggs... Over easy pal with a dash of hot sauce and a load of bacon...
Now see what you did you made me hungry...

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

In order to redistribute the private wealth of America all assets would have to be converted to cash. Then, all that property would have to be destroyed just like a vehicle with no salvage value after it's "totaled" in a crash. Or, now the government owns everything that was converted to cash (that's where the cash came from), and to maintain it taxes would skyrocket, and the money given out would soon return to the government, and the people would soon own nothing. People that owned houses would now pay rent to the government out of the redistributed money they received in the redistribution. Of course, the government could sell you back your house or other property, likely at an inflated price.

Cease the long-winded right-wing speculation. Nothing you say would happen.

Because of the wealth disparity, our society is crumbling. But keep on letting the obscenely rich tell you how great things are.

Never in history were the opportunities for financial success for the common man better than now in America.

If people stopped buying every new shiny thing that the uber rich produced the whole financial/social order would turn upside down overnight. The rich that are hated so much would be jumping out of windows just like they did in 1929, and the nation could start over.

You've got your marching orders.

There is definitely room between what we have today and communism. The wealthy have characterized anything the drives fairness as socialism. Unions? SOCIALISM! Worker protections? SOCIALISM!! Time off for maternity? SOCIALISM!! Minimum wages at a working wage level? SOCIALISM!! Having the wealthy pay more than their fair share to offset their more than fair wealth? SOCIALISM!!!

You knuckleheads will never free yourselves from your puppeteers.

At $38T there is no more room. They have shown they can't be trusted taking our money "to help" the poor. The rules, the overhead, theft, grifting...it does not work.

Maybe you can start some Tax offset pool to route your little $5K tax into an optional pool to help those in need. They come withdraw from a trusted bank you dumb OX.

Too much untapped big city labor sitting around with 40 OZ daytime party hoodlums. Put them to work. Maybe then too tired to breed 7 kids or shoot up the clubs.

Since wealth can only be redistributed once, your figure of 471,465 dollars is a sum total, not a yearly amount.

Two years after such an illegal and unconstitutional redistribution, those who were wealthy before the redistribution will be once again, and those who were poor will once again be poor.

However, let's talk about your debilitating envy. You clearly want others to take care of you and you don't want to do jack shit for yourself.

So, what you're saying is -- People aren't stupid because they're poor, they're poor because they're stoopid?

aka; People don't behave poorly because they're poor, they're poor because they behave poorly.

Or, as my Daddy used to say, "You can't fix Stupid"

Or, as the Great Philospher Edgetho once said, "dimocraps are scum"

They always have been, and they always will be. No matter how much money you throw at them.

 

[Woodznutz]

Of course not as there will be no such redistribution.

Should the NFL go socialist? Why does a Brady get $75milion but his O-line get $1Million you dumb Oxyen.

Try starting small. Could even that work? Pay them all $10million? Including practice squad, water girls, cheerleaders, towel washers, announcers, bus drivers, janitors, Jerry Jones.

Doesn't seem workable now does it? They all work for the same team. Is thar right SuperIM2?

Let's do it your way

We "redistribute" the wealth help by your utility companies: Gas, electricity, water and sewer.

How soon before you're out of gas, electricity, water and your toilets won't flush?

 

[TNHarley]

Could you imagine how much everything would cost if that were to happen? Holy shit.

He doesn't understand unrealized accumulated wealth vs. A salary paycheck.

He's got some Pocahontas in em'

City traitor will pop in and say, but Leon borrows on his wealth! Uh yeah maybe. Do you loan $19 million to a street junkies or the one who promises I contact you my 3rd house if I can't pay you back.

 

[leftwinger]

We already have 10million in SECT 8 free homes afraid to take any job as they might lose the home. They won't marry the father making $100/night cash under table as a bouncer or let the kids work as it may cut into her extra T-bird & Newport money.
