Impose A $20-million Limit On Accumulated Personal Assets!

[Uncensored2008]

In the interest of preserving the strength and social integrity of the American Nation I propose that in addition to an equitably progressive tax rate a limit of $20,000,000 (twenty-million dollars) be imposed on all personal assets and that any assets in excess of that amount be confiscated by the Internal Revenue Service. This would ensure the continued ability to acquire and retain reasonable personal wealth while eliminating the harmful potential of excessive wealth and the emergence of a financial aristocracy which could operate to undermine the nature of our democratic republic.

In addition to the above, I propose that laws be enacted to finance all federal and state elections with public money and that no candidate or elected official be permitted to accept any form of contribution or gift, whether money or anything of value, from any constituent, political supporter or other person or entity. The only exception being acceptance of ordinary and unexceptional gifts from relatives or close personal friends. Any violation of this proscription shall be subject to severe criminal penalties.

I propose beating you with a stick until you quit moving.

My proposal will have a FAR more positive effect on the nation than yours.

Now that would make for a GREAT reality show. Lets watch the Hollywood crowd and the politicians melt down.

What? ... no 17 million dollar wedding for kim?
I can see the horror story coming out of stephen king....
And I am pretty damn sure the politicians would fight that one tooth and nail...

You're quite right. Which is why the only hope of something as socially rational as my proposal could only be brought about by a radical political revolution, which I believe the population of this Nation is incapable of. Our population is too divided, uneducated, self-centered and complacent.

One of 2 things Jester..

1) He's an academic that is accustomed to being able to fertilize young minds with largely unchallenged bullshit and didn't expect a challenge..

2) It's a ploy used by the leftists on all open message boards "to tag" their territory with socialist gospel. It occupies the normal folks and stalls efforts on other threads where they are under attack and need a tactical distraction..

I think likely #2 because Mikey was going after greedy people of Christian faith just this morning... He's a busy dude..

What I find most interesting about this conflict is most of you water-carrying Tories don't have a pot to piss in and probably will never manage to pay off your credit card balances, yet you passionately defend the financial gluttonly of a small number of conniving exploiters who regard you as little more than useful idiots.

How do you account for that? What is it that motivates you?

Boo fucking hoo! Anyone willing can become a millionaire. Education helps, but it isn't required.

Impose! The code word of stalinism and fascism.

Are you at all conscious of the effects of changes imposed on ordinary Americans by the insidious progression of deregulation and financial manipulations since Ronald Reagan took Office and imposed Supply Side economics on us?

If you knew what fascism really is you would know your country is headed in that direction at full speed and there doesn't appear to be anything standing in its way.

here is a radical idea for you. How about we start with all the bleeding heart "socially conscious" liberals and cap their money at 20 million. Take the rest and spread it around..... see how much they like life now, and how bleeding heart they stay.

Sorry what you propose is so wrong on so many levels its laughable.

This is the dumbest idea I've ever heard. Have you considered moving to Cuba or North Korea? You'd fit right in there.

For your information, Cuba and North Korea are communist countries and no communist entity would tolerate any citizen accumulating and possessing personal assets worth $20-million. Any who did so would be imprisoned, or worse.

So, no. I haven't considered moving to either place.

I really think you should educate yourself before drawing conclusions about social and economic issues which you really don't understand.

this has already been done in other countries why do you want the same old communist failed agenda?

What countries are you talking about? Which communist entity do you know of where it's okay to retain $20-million fortunes? Do you know what communism is?

Why do you hate immagrinats coming to America?

Why don't you tell us comrade?

In 1980, the average life expectancy was _____ Now it has dropped to _____

In 1980, the average home size was _____ Now it has dropped to _____

In 1980, the average family had _____ cars; Now it has dropped to _____

I'm really curious about these answers, so go on and show us how our lives have gotten worse, comrade...

If you knew what fascism really is you would know your country is headed in that direction at full speed and there doesn't appear to be anything standing in its way.

Actually, Obama's fascist care, the merging of medical corporations and the federal government, is being challenged in the SCOTUS as we speak.

It's rather basic but I believe it's a good place to start.

No, that was a fill in the blank test, Comrade.

A rant about how jealous you are of those who have more than you just doesn't cut it.

You can;

A.) Fill in the data
B.) Concede defeat

It's rather basic but I believe it's a good place to start.

No, it's a dodge.

Actually there are a select few allowed to accumulate that much, and usually more, and they not only control the wealth, they control the army, the police, your job, your property and usually your very life.

I think this is an extremely bad idea.

I'd never support the Democrats if they supported this.

Then you are talking about something other than communism.
