If you knew that a $500 a year tax on all earners of $30,000 + could end extreme poverty through out the world by boosting the third world economies, they don't have the resources but they could focus their industries on manufacturing and information technology, we would have to ship them materials and pay them a fair wage but this would be complete covered by the tax and would not increase the cost of the product. Would you be willing to pay that extra $10 a week in tax to end extreme poverty and bring the third world into industrialization.

In ten years the third world recipients of this "gift" would resent us for it. Just like the various welfare recipients in the US do.

I would tax the legal gun runners, and the high handed banks that keep the 3rd world a battlefield. But, I would really wonder, who is this 3rd world, these days. It all looks like layers upon layer of organized crime to me. It is either, Russia or Nigerian gangs, or it is Jihad.

There are real enemies to the very idea.

And we always have a problem distributing any money we send now.

So, no, we can't send more. Most is soaked up by the warlords already.

But, it proves you are thinking. Good thread.

Anyway, its all a big plot by Jihad to put our women in Burkka and leave us dead in a ditch.
But, you can't hate them for that. They don' know no betta.

If the assets gained from the new tax went to taking care of the 3rd world citizens we have right here in the US i'd gladly pay the $500 a year tax .

If the wealthiest 10% of US citizens would give 10% tax on their income to end poverty right here at home i'd gladly follow suit.

Our infrastructure all over the US is collapsing around us & we need to worry about our home 1st , take all the extra tax $ & put tens of thousands of unemployed Americans to work repairing our house 1st , then anything left over donate to others .

Im not up for speding $1 outside the US until we give our citizens who live in abject poverty the new deal they need/deserve .

My opinion is that everything is the way it is because someone wants it that way.. It'd be easy to wipe out poverty but instead we spend the money on killing each other. It doesn't need to be another tax. We're taxed to freaking death already. I would never vote for another tax.

If redistributing other peoples stuff without their permission and using threats of force to do it is the answer....it seems the "answer" has created some unintended consequences.

Solving one problem, by creating another one is not a real solution, it is merely moving the litter box to another room.

Someone? The Greater Man? The Illuminate? In the USA, all is the way it is, because we all want it that way. When WE ALL, (50% Federated Vote) want something, someone doesn't give it to us, we TAKE it.

Voting Rights
Slave Freedom
Go to the moon in June
etc

We have to kill to be free. We kill them, so they don't kill us. But, the more they kill us the more stern we get and vice versa.

In the case of Poverty, there is no solution. Poverty is a condition of Nature. It is the vacuum of life that nature slams against the meager, sub-standard, in-attentive and un-prepared.

For Plants, of course, there is nothing they can do. The soil is what it is. But, us Predators can get off our asses and Predate, Get Some!!! By, that act, we have competition. Not every hunt is successful. Some will do better than others. But, we share in the Tribe. Therefore, we have tribes of Predators against each other. In monkeys it is lots of screaming and a little blood.

For humans it is lots of blood and screaming, vaporized Cities, etc. In this world, the shinny monkeys are in Constant War. It seems to be their true nature. A lot of the Shinny don't like to see it like that. They hold to foolish hope, perhaps. But, the evidence is overwhelming. Violence is us.

And the outcome of constant war, is Hunger, for most, and Riches for some. Is it Right? An explanation doesn't make it right. It cannot be Wrong, however. There is simply no right and wrong in nature. The Shinny made up Right and Wrong to have War.

Like when you said that collecting a disability check is basically rape?

Oh hello. No, I am against initiated force consistently. I think we both are against rape. I am also against taking peoples money if they did not freely give it. You on the other hand are okay with taking peoples money against their will or having your beloved government do it for you.

So I am against initiated force consistently, you are not. In that vein a rapist might be similar to you in that he could be for rape but against theft, which would mean he's kind of an idiotic hypocritical loon., wouldn't you say?
