Ivan: Shortie dostal menya. ***Russian conspiracy alert!!!*** __________ No conspiracy, he's just saying that he's had enough of you. People who grew up in the Eastern Block have no patience for Marxist 'economic plans'. They've already experienced the results first hand, and know that misery and poverty are the only possible outcome.
I know what Ivan said... but it is kinda funny reading today's headlines: "10 alleged Russian secret agents arrested in US By PETE YOST and TOM HAYS (AP) â 39 minutes ago" http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5j_Fmz__pKb-YmXtA5fSYdbz6ptRAD9GKKPFG0 where is Bob111 BTW? I do have some basic knowledge (e.g. 1984 and "the soviet experiment") to be able to discuss my somewhat controversial plan. when i say let's redistribute wealth, everyone thinks "marxist shortie" wants to take away my house and my bank account. so naturally they don't want to even think or discuss the plan. what if we just discuss a change to the constitution such that the first wealth reset won't happen for at least 70 years from now (the future resets will follow ~ once/century)? will people talk about the proposal less emotionally? 70 years is a long time and the current generation won't be affected. let's say i am fairly young and have a shot to accumulate a few $M during my lifetime. would i rather have my grandchildren inherit my money or a system that will be more fair to them? i vote for the better system. i agree that any wealth reset even if it happens once per century goes against the spirit of capitalism. but so does a progressive tax, yet we pay it EVERY SINGLE Year. in addition, a wealth reset is likely to take place anyways in ~10-20-30 years due to revolutions, wars, etc. the idea is to anticipate the trouble and try to get a better end result without bloodshed and wealth destruction.
you live in a dream world. the rich are sending their money abroad. constantly. Turner, media mogul, owns half of chilean (not the argentina side) patagonia,
i'm here,don't worry about me.it would be hard for fbi to accuse me on spying, since i'm trading all day long and rarely leaving the house. i just don't want to waste my time reading your nonsense. 10 spies got caught..yeahh...why not 50..or 100..why all of sudden they arrested during Russian president visit in US? their case is a joke..can FBI come up with something more creative than that? somebody in DC just obviously don't like russians...but they way they play it...just pathetic
So, shortie, you're thinking of something akin to the steps that Julius Caesar took to save the Roman Empire (from itself)?
not sure what you are referring to. did caesar initiate any major wealth reset? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional_Reforms_of_Julius_Caesar
you should probably start documenting it and file for a US patent or something before others steal your idea and don't forget to create a page in Wikipedia about this historic event yet to unfold OMFG, This has been the funniest thread I have ever seen on ET.
