Share The Wealth platform.

[boedicca]

You are infringing on my right to a decent life by hoarding wealth/and or supporting a system that encourages the gap between the rich and the poor when you should be supporting the people over the 1% trying to keep everyone down.

Spoken like a true cowardly thug who wishes the government to do his violence for him.

Share Our Wealth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The bottom of your post tells all we need to tell about share the wealth. "Power comes from the barrel of a gun". Stealing what you don't earn from those that earn it. Want to create wealth? Turn off your computer, get off your ass and get a job and invest what you earn. Don't steal it from those with intelligence to create their own wealth and quit feeling sorry for yourself because nobody will give you their well earned wealth.

Working to make shit for rich people who don't give you your fair share. So its just merely taking what's owed to you.

I was right.

You are too much of a craven coward to rob people to their faces.

Know all that research from the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's that had to do with airplanes, rockets, fusion, internet(developing it), nws, noaa, computer models, etc.

You really can't be this ignorant of history. You'd weaken America a great deal if you had your way.

Then Obama killed NASA.....

A lot of that also came from plunging various sub-continents and the entire world into horrible wars.

And capitalism has led to the worst disparity between the rich and the poor.



Capitalism has led us straight to that...we are serfs and the capitalists are the slave masters.

ONLY when government MEDDLES...infringes upon liberty. What YOU propose is Government CONTROL. I've had a belly full of it. YOU advocate CONTROL coming from government.

ORION? YOU are a Socialist psychophant...and people like YOU I've had it with infringing upon MY liberty because YOU can't make it in life on your own.

You are infringing on my right to a decent life by hoarding wealth/and or supporting a system that encourages the gap between the rich and the poor when you should be supporting the people over the 1% trying to keep everyone down.

I can't figure out what you need worse, a comprehensive course in economics or a quality head shrinker.

Nah. A gun works just fine...hell if you want to call me a coward I guess you think EVERYONE in government is a coward then eh? Dumb ass.

Far left governments with this philosophy has destroyed more countries than any terrorist group out there.

There's a difference between a Marxist state like Cuba and any of the first world social democratic states. political science would do some of you people a great deal of good within my opinion. What difference has to do with who controls the production...Marxist state production is overseen by the government,,,while social democratic state allows a private/public hybrid like system that most of the west uses...Regulating the private sector and allowing for a safety net is what makes us the social democratic state.

Your pure capitalism is amoral and has failed....

If the government regulates enough, the results are indistinguishable from what you call a "Marxist state." In reality, both are Marxist states.

What do you call it when the regulated have enough power to buy off the regulators?

The key planks of the Share The Wealth platform included:
No person would be allowed to accumulate a personal net worth of more than 300 times the average family fortune, which would limit personal assets to between $5 million and $8 million. A graduated capital levy tax would be assessed on all persons with a net worth exceeding $1 million.

Annual incomes would be limited to $1 million and inheritances would be capped at $5 million.

Every family was to be furnished with a homestead allowance of not less than one-third the average family wealth of the country. Every family was to be guaranteed an annual family income of at least $2,000 to $2,500, or not less than one-third of the average annual family income in the United States. Yearly income, however, cannot exceed more than 300 times the size of the average family income.

An old-age pension would be made available for all persons over 60.

To balance agricultural production, the government would preserve/store surplus goods, abolishing the practice of destroying surplus food and other necessities due to lack of purchasing power.

Veterans would be paid what they were owed (a pension and healthcare benefits).

Free education and training for all students to have equal opportunities in all schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions for training in the professions and vocations of life.

The raising of revenue and taxes for the support of this program was to come from the reduction of swollen fortunes from the top, as well as for the support of public works to give employment whenever there may be any slackening necessary in private enterprise.[2]

Man I wish Huey Long had not been assassinated. Wonder where the country would have been under him and not Roosevelt...might not have ever even entered ww2.

A little behind the times, aren't you? The Democrats are way beyond this already.

Again, you're demonstrating what a liar you are. If you actually believed this, the last thing you would advocate is more government power since that would only be putting more power in the hands of the people you claim to believe are buying them off. You don't believe it, which is why you endlessly support the party that does support limitless government.

It's just your Marxist, anti-corporate rhetoric. I personally never advocating anything that if people believe that I believe it, I look more stupid than if they think I'm lying. You know, like Hillary's book where she claimed to have been shocked when she found out the Monica story was true...

BTW, Hillary claims to have been named after Sir Edmond Hillary ... who climbed Everest ... when she was three years old ...

Which is the beauty of less government, there is less to corrupt...

But again, if Blind believed that, he would not advocate more government. Liberals don't think this through. Government is a tool of the wealthy and corporations, we need MORE government!

Yeah, he believes that...

Seriously,

Are you in the tea party going to admit that you're Amish soon? Once you do throw your computer in the fire place and stop driving your car. They're machines of America's greatness you don't believe in.....

America is great. All of those private corporations that developed all those computers and automobiles are the great driving force of out economy. America is great it's just our politicians (current government) that suck.

They are just intoning their stereotypical anti-capitalist rhetoric. They don't really think about what it means.

So you're saying the regulators don't get bought off on a regular basis? Isn't there kind of a revolving door from law makers to lobbyist to industry insider to regulator.

I think you blew a gasket. I just asked a question. I didn't put forth a Marxist manifesto.

How the hell can you get what you said out of what I said?????

LOL, trying to out dimwit truthmatters and nycarbineer? You've got a quality entry, but you're going after the best at what they do.

I said YOU don't believe what you said, not that I don't. You say regulators are bought off by the people they regulate. Yet, you endlessly support the party that supports more and more government. Think about it, but try not to hurt yourself. Your solution grows what you say the problem is. Hello, rap rap, anyone there?

Nope, I asked what do you call it when it happens.

You made up the rest all by yourself. True, I don't believe any of the Rabid Right Wing Echo Chamber phony scandal of the last 5+ years, but supporting the statist of the Democratic side of Congress, meh, not so much.
