My Beautiful Dictatorship!

[djcraig]

Don't worry Philly.

Once Hillary gets elected there will be a redistribution of wealth through higher taxes on the rich and universal healthcare for all, which now seems limited to only those that can afford it... and illegal aliens.

Of course, "disincentiveizing" the growth of business through higher taxes and legislative restrictions will only encourage companies to take more of their businesses offshore to friendlier environments. Not exactly a positive for our economy. And that would mean less production here, less available jobs and a worsening of the situation you lament.

There will probably always be different classes of wealth- the Haves and the Have Nots. The good thing is, in our system, a "Have Not" has the best chance to become a "Have", than any other place in the world.

The "poor kid" delivering newspapers to a Beverly Hills mansion has an actual chance to own that mansion one day. And when he does then HE will then be responsible for employing a small army of people, from landscapers to accountants to a paperboy, to help him enjoy and maintain what he has earned.

He will also have the opportunity to give to charity, as so many in our country do, to help those in need. Provided he has something left over after paying his employees, benefits, payroll taxes, social security tax, property tax, Mello-Roos fees, sales tax, state income tax, federal income tax, vehicle licenses fees, etc.

...putting more people on unemployment as well as putting alot of small businesses out of business - which puts even ex-business owners on unemployment. All that economy stimulation Bush did after 9/11 will have been for naught. But hey, as long as the intellectually lazy and the whining malcontents get to have their government handouts. Thanks for the summary, Craig.

That would be my first act as ruler. I have this one patch of dirt in my yard. There is grass all over but they go to the same spot every day and dig the shit out of it.

<p align="justify">I guess I'm the only person who thinks there's nothing wrong with owning a 250K automobile[xx(] To me, 250K may look excessive, but to a very rich person (like Paris Hilton) it's just a car. If I were to weed out the frivolous expenditures of my minute paycheck, most folks who are poorer than I (not many, really) would think I'm a vain person. It takes all kinds, takes all kinds. If I had the kind of wealth that a rich heir would have, I wouldn't blow it on a seemingly costly vehicle, but I'm sure I can think of a hundred ways on the spot to [i]waste[/i] that money. With 250K, instead of buying a Bentley, I'd wanna start a small movie distribution company. The idea wouldn't sell and I'd be outta 250K[8D]

Oh and all government workers would have to take mass transit. That way you know it will work and be clean because they would actually see things. And for those that must have a car, there is no reason they should have a friggin town car and driver. Our mayor takes the subway for gods sakes. So why should execs have town cars? They should all have hybrid cars and compacts at that.

philly,

When you attain power, can you order Paris Hilton to be my maid?

Thanks,

Only if you make your place really dirty for her!
You know I was approached by someone in politics and they said I would be great. I doubt that because I speak my mind. I would be hated as well as loved. I also have a bit of a past that they would have a field day with.
