    What is 'fair' wealth distribution?

    The question is--do you have the right to make that decision? Does anyone else? The problem with the question is--everybody's opinion would be different. In capitalism, we are all allowed to "march to the tune of a different drummer", and all that. Merle_Nelson summed it up several posts ago...

    What is 'fair' wealth distribution?

    It would be interesting to know how many people on this and the other political threads have the faintest clue about sacrifice/service. (Treevet & Steve Conally both served. Seems like Bingham was a policeman. Don't know about the rest.) It would also be very interesting to know how much they...

    What is 'fair' wealth distribution?

    This is one of the best questions over several of these threads. NO ONE can answer it, or NO ONE will. I've heard it asked over, and over--crickets.

    There are currently 21,995,000 government employees. Let me ask you a question? How many more do you think it will take? For a little perspective; there are 12,329,000 employees in the manufacturing sector. $3.3 trillion is the Federal Government's operating budget for fiscal 2016.... How much...

    That's not accurate. They recruit. Several years ago I was a 3rd Class with a wife and new baby. They tried to talk my wife into receiving WIC. After she thought about it, and decided not to, they were hostile toward her.

    What is 'fair' wealth distribution?

    "Governments are corporations." Actually, no, they are not. If you are liking the government to corporations, your point would be better made if you show the similarities. "None of us are shareholders." Just sold shares of Alcoa. In recent years I've made modest profits on Caterpillar, BP, and...

    I forgot to get back to you on that one...this one is from 2013...I don't think it has changed much. We pay the same way you pay your bills. You pay your bills don't you Levi? As far as who would have the "balls to collect." Should we be a country that tries to dodge payment? I don't do...

    Grassroots for Bernie Sanders 2016

    You are a benevolent person. Like most everybody else. Think of the good that you could do in your community and around the world, if the government didn't take your money away from you to "help the needy," while frittering most of it away. Let me paint a picture for you: A patient (represents...

    I believe the fundamental wrongdoing is on the part of the Fed. The banks operate in the framework the government sets for them. Most of the cursing that goes on today against big banks stems from the bailouts they received. I never agreed with that policy; most fiscally responsible people...

    Grassroots for Bernie Sanders 2016

    Levi, the truth only has two goals: 1. Shine the light (convince those in darkness to follow the light of truth) 2. Make them responsible, if they choose to reject it. In other words, if you were never told the truth, you would never be responsible for what you do with it. But with knowledge...

    I know several. Need a loan? Are you too good to hang out with them? What other prejudices do you have Levi?

    What is 'fair' wealth distribution?

    Not certain about the various conspiracies, but I believe there is plenty going on that we don't know about. Vote for Ted Cruz--back to the gold standard: http://www.cnbc.com/2015/10/28/ted-cruz-calls-for-the-gold-standard.html
