Except that drug dens exist to supply a demand. That demand will be filled, because, life. They are only criminals because they don't have lobbyists like Philip-Morris, so, bad analogy.
It isn't proof but is a strongly held conviction from someone with the perspective of the poor (the 90-99%) so it takes away the jealousy and envy argument. Warren Buffet to some degree feels the same way, that the rich like him should be taxed more aggressively. What proof have you got that allowing wealth to concentrate obscenely at the very top is good for our country?
What proof have you got that redistributing wealth wouldn't be a good thing? Countries with a socialist bent are doing quite well in general, though there are trouble spots in some of the South American ones. I am not suggesting liquidating the Fortune 500, I am suggesting making the minimum wage $20 an hour. This would reduce the number of people on welfare because suddenly working looks much more attractive.
Perhaps... Maybe, just maybe they feel embarrassed at bringing a "token" gift. Imagine being invited to the White House as a poor student but super-bright from say, Compton. Would you bring the president a gift of a mug from your high school knowing that heads of state bring gifts of sterling silverware and thousand year old vases? Or would you maybe feel like the pres doesn't need your shit and has all that covered as he is also paying for you and your Parent's flights and hotel/transportation etc? I am just suggesting that maybe your guests feel a bit ashamed at what they could afford to bring to your party.
Maybe you could drop some hints or let them know that someone in your position has a hard time scoring some good buds or whatever... So long as they aren't left thinking that you need a supplier and want to become their customer or pay for whatever they are going to be bringing. You could tell them when you invite them that they are in charge of bringing a home-made fruit dish, or a plate of home-made roasted perfectly normal beast sandwiches. Maybe it isn't as spontaneous but it could start training them eventually to always bring something with them...
It is idiotic to bring the Federal spending budget/deficit into this as the two are unrelated. Also, the top.1 percent number 319,000 people, which probably amounts to 80,000 families, so how's it look if we tax them at a rate of say 90%? Why did you decide to pick only the top 500? Nice round meaningless number?
The problem with fake capitalism/fascism is that eventually the masses of poor get upset drop the remote and start looking for heads to separate from bodies, ask the French about this situation.
That will never happen for us moron. We who read here will never, ever, ever be in that situation because we weren't born into it. Should it ever occur, it won't be a problem because, not being able to go from 3 billion dollars to 4 billion is not really a heartbreaking situation. Your argument is the absurd one that the very rich in the repugnican party use to sucker the working poor into voting for laws that benefit the very wealthy at the extreme expense of the working poor.
The Benne Gesserit were the same, right? All the females had all the memories of their antecedents? I may be remembering it very wrong as it has been a long time since I read the Dune series.
Thank you, very much. Although I am literally a Mexican-American who is not of Israeli descent and so it would be quite hard for me to be literally Einstein. I do agree though that Socialism fights the destructive nature of capitalism which we see _literally_ occurring in the United States of America. High imprisonment rates, obscene income and wealth inequality, destruction of the environment, wholesale removal of our rights, etc.
Trash was the side example, getting that trash to the ocean definitely did (mining, manufacturing, transporting, disposing) and in large amounts it begins to function like a landfill, if I remember correctly.
Back to the main point, please respond on your wishes for geoengineering and what it can magically do for us and how you will power this wonderful machine.
I like this suggestion, a whole mask covering the face and head with no light leaks and only holes for the mouth and nose, now where can I find one of those...?
I think what you meant to say was that he had it verified by his strictest opposition, he already knew it would work as he had done other tests. What he did was submit to the acid test under conditions that were indisputable.
Because those are the things that are being caused by global warming and you were talking about fixing problems with geoengineering. What were you planning/hoping/praying could be fixed with geoengineering?
Geoengineering? we can't even clean all of the garbage out of the ocean that is accumulating there. You going to engineer the Amazon back into health? Replace the ice that is no longer recovering? Put back the methane that is escaping as ice recedes and ocean water warms? De-acidify the ocean? While continuing to burn coal and petroleum and pour pesticides into the earth and ocean thus acidifying the ocean and destroying the fertility of the earth?
10 year old Honda Civic weighs next to nothing and if engineered for no PS or PBs, it would then likely be easy enough to drive for most drivers. That said, this car probably has PBs as most even base model cars and trucks do.
so much anger, and over a simple request... Are you paid per insult or per post and just needed to fill you "angry response" quota for the day? I checked and you have a quite a number of angry posts, are you also an angry driver that uses his horn and tailgates a lot? Does it impress your boyfriend and make him all excited or does it mortify him and he wishes you would stop? Or is it that you are over due for a session of the needful? Or worse yet, did you try to write an app and failed? Was it you? Was it the environment?
please be sure and report back on your findings, since you are an ac, it will be easy to know it is you reporting back and not some other random shill.

Hilarious! But also very sad because it's quite true.
You're right

And why shouldn't you distribute the wealth? Why not grow yourself an entourage?

Here is someone who is wealthy discussing the topic. Bottom line, wealth distributed is much better for the economy than concentrated wealth.

Unions work well for Germany, maybe if we had Socialism at all levels like they do we also would be awesome?
Gee, you are a regular Einstein...literally!
Why Socialism?

Geoengineering, for example.

Making us all unemployed and starved so the filthy rich can become ever so much more so.
