For you socialist minded people who feel wealth should be shared?

If peoples wealth is to be spread amongst the less fortunate. Are you willing to step forward first and share your wealth? Lets just say for fun. Half of everything you own. Two cars, loose one. Two homes loose one. Half your money, retirement, stocks, bonds, or what ever.

Update:

I did graduate from college. I had a 4.0 average what was yours?

    The left would never do this. They would like to see other people do it but certainly not themselves. For the left it's "Do as I say not as I do".

    The left should believe in sharing the attitude of working hard and educating yourself to achieve what you have as they believe in taking and sharing the spoils with those "who have not earned it" from those who have.

    Sure. Although the wealth distribution should be directed at the wealthy since they are the wealth hoarders. I don't think our economy would have stalled like it did if the rich weren't keeping so much for themselves. If minimum wage increased at the same rate average CEO pay has for the last 4 decades, it would be up to around $150 per hour now. A free market economy can't survive with wealth distribution as lop-sided as it currently is.

    enable me concentration on one situation, wellness care, as an occasion. A century in the past, hard artwork unions, community communities, and so on. would desire to all grant wellness care to their individuals. Then the government have been given in contact and banned it. Now, interior the U. S., the government subsidizes the coverage racket, and makes it harder for individuals to establish techniques. in case you seem on the generally brutal background of government suppression of socialist projects, you are able to understand: Organizing with out the government is volatile; it could even get you killed (e.g. Kirsten Brydum, murdered purely final year, and going returned to the Haymarket Martyrs interior the nineteenth century). Organizing to attempt to win an election, and end government repression against one's reason, all too generally will become organizing to maintain a occasion, and use government means for one or yet another objective.

    Liberals despise individual prosperity, private property ownership, and the family. Private property and individual wealth is integral to individualism, and the enemy of the liberal. Liberals believe that wealth is static - anyone who makes money must be stealing it from someone else. Liberals dream of a return to a centralized, 1940's urban environment. We all ride the bus from a small, dirty, big city apartment to an 8-5 union job. Yet, the liberal typically chooses a career which produces nothing of value - lawyer, bureaucrat, "activist", etc. - and uses government to extract the wealth of others.

  • They take half now. Don't forget state and property taxes. Where are the results?

    Thumbs Down from people who have no idea what we pay! I am so tired of stupid liberals and their lies! When you make over 100K they take 30%, 10% and another 8-10K in property taxes. Do the Fuc*** Math!!!!! Stop voting to steal from hard working people. You are a bunch of thieves!!!!! Enough is enough, and this is exactly what the Founding Fathers tried to prevent.

    The same Liberals praise the Kennedy's despite Joe's ability to manipulate the stock market in the 20's and amass a huge fortune through smuggling and ties to organized crime. My god. What lemmings you all are.

    There are two ways to distribute wealth. Consolidate it at the top, which is what Republican policies work towards or try to get higher earnings for the hard working middle class and poor which is what Democratic policies work towards.

    lol... I think you missed the point...

    there is only one real way the system can work... and that's if the people who make more pay more...

    otherwise, the people in the middle class will be paying 50 percent taxes to make up for the cut for the rich people.... since the rich pay for so much...

    and that wouldn't work very well...

    function is importation...

    I'm wondering if this is related to health insurance. If so, our taxes already pay in full the health care of the less fortunate. I think you mean lose, not loose.

    More oversimplifaction? As opposed to what? Crappy wages? Crappu insurance? A steady erosion of worker's rights? Yeah, I'll take the "share the wealth" against your "plantation owner" attitude anytime.

    I don't think many people feel that way, but clearly they are willing to do so, since according to you, they are supporting policies that would make doing so obligatory.
