Here's a thought about solving the 1% vs the 99% wealth problem | |
StarPath User ID: 27243460 United States 07/21/2013 01:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The best way is for the 99% to issue new money and make all the old money worthless. Which is pretty much what we're doing right now come to think of it. Last Edited by StarPath on 07/21/2013 01:13 AM |

Or, you can keep bitching on a website. Either way, fuck you. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1220645 With your attitude, you must be one of the 1% What is your yearly income? Greater than 1 million?

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 40577204 United States 07/21/2013 01:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How about just wiping out ALL debt for everyone making $100,000 a year or less. That would include most of the 99%. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13127957 If you cannot live off of $100,000 a year, then you have a MAJOR problem. Oh for sure. I actually have always wondered why the bail out money was never given to the citizens. They will bail out all this big corps that ended up laying off a whole bunch of people anyway, and some still went under, but will not give any to the average citizen. Not asking for hand outs here. Just wondering why that was never thought of. I have never asked for anything from anyone, but seeing all this money being handed out to big corps that got in trouble off their own doing makes me think that it is wrong to not even think of the little man. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 40577204 United States 07/21/2013 02:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here's your solution. A tax on incomes of 95% for any person or corporation importing cheap foreign shit into your country. A tax rate of 0% for any person or corporation manufacturing goods in your country using domestic labor. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 43737553 You'll be back to full employment at living wages in a year. Yea, that seems to be the mainstream solution to this problem I keep hearing. But if you are gonna do that, then why not nationalize everything in your country? |

The problem is that the MEGA-RICH are greedy and continue to want more and more. The banks continue to enslave everyone with the high interest rates forcing everyone into debt that is not payable. The economic system WILL collapse if this continues. If your average citizen cannot afford to buy anything, then that will lead to an economic collapse. |

This WILL happen in America if the greed continues. The poor are what makes the rich wealthy. If the RICH continue to rob the poor, an economic collapse WILL happen.
