If you can learn to speak Swiss there's a deal for you. http://blogs.marketwatch.com/thetel...-plan-to-give-everybody-34000-a-year-reports/
Heck of a good idea. Suggest ALL American parasites emigrate to Switzerland for the $34,000/yr in freebies... no strings attached. Socialist wet dream come true!
America ought to consider to this... and then ending all other subsidies for everyone and every corp. Everyone treated equally. Not vote buying. I am sure it would be a hell of a lot more efficient. We cut all the crap out of the tax structure. We cut all lobbying money. America gives every 34 individual grand... if you (corp or ind.) make more than 100 grand you pay 8% of what you make to the govt. If you try to play fancy accounting games... you get hammered.
Better yet... AMERICA GIVE NOTHING TO NOBODY! everyone EARNS what they have/get... just like it was when America was founded. "Social support" should be "3-squares and a cot". If you want more than that out of life, GET A FARKIN' JOB AND PAY FOR IT YOURSELF!
we have made too many americans dependent. we could slowly work our way back to that. but if the govt sucked out high percentages of peoples income through taxes their whole working lives ... and they expecting something back in your old age.... we can't just abandon them now and say you should have saved more... they can look back and say the govt should have left them alone to save and invest their income.
Here's a glimpse into our future, and in the cruelest of ironies, those that thought Obama would prevent this from happening here now have to live with the fact that he is facilitating it on the fast track. MOSCOW (AP) -- A staggering 35 percent of household wealth in Russia is owned by just 110 people, the highest level of inequality in the world barring a few small Caribbean islands, a report by a major investment bank says. By contrast, billionaires worldwide account for just 1-2 percent of total wealth, Credit Suisse said in its report published Wednesday. Russia has one billionaire for every $11 billion in wealth while in the rest of the world there is one for every $170 billion. The fall of Communism saw Russia's most prized assets sold off to a small circle of businessmen later known as oligarchs. President Vladimir Putin allowed them to keep their wealth in exchange for their political loyalty. Metals and banking tycoons Vladimir Potanin and Mikhail Fridman, who made their fortunes in the 90s, are still high on the list of Russia's richest men. But the past decade saw a rise of new billionaires who draw their wealth from state contracts and some of whom are known to be the presidents' friends, like Gennady Timchenko. Credit Suisse said that there were hopes with the demise of the Soviet Union that Russia would turn into a high skilled economy with fair wealth distribution but "this is almost a parody of what happened in practice." The 35 percent of wealth that Russian billionaires own is equivalent to $420 billion. "Russia has the highest level of wealth inequality in the world, apart from small Caribbean nations with resident billionaires," the bank said in the report.
What a shift on the left side of the spectrum... all the way back from commie to powerful leftist leader with powerful cronies owning everything.
OH, he's still a commie at heart. No doubt he thinks it'll be different this time with him in charge. What happened in Russia is a result of commiunism. This is what happens when government takes charge of everything and decides who gets what. You end up with a very few people having most everything. As corrupt as our system is, and it's getting worse by the day, it pales in comparison to what the commies pulled off.
