In reply to the discussion: If the top 80% had to give up all assets/ownership to be equal to bottom20%,would you? [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)Show me where there is anything for the 20% worst off? I don't see it
I see the middle wanting to be the upper, but I see nothing getting down to the bottom who actually need it.(I myself am certianly nowhere near the upper btw much closer to the bottom).
So everyone needs to be on the bottom for a fair system of equality.
Or are they saying the middle class should keep their $50-300,00 homes and all their assets
AND on top of that, get all the rich money and just knock the rich down?
Where do the ones with nothing get to the $50,000 level?
I myself care more about those with nothing up to the $20,000 level, as they are the ones that need the most.
Where in the tear down the 1%, do those in the bottom get anything physical out of it?
Who gets the rich guys boat? Who gets to keep it? Who gets the rich guys mansion?
(Or are 200,000 people suppose to live in one rich guys mansion?)
(Note-my grandparents after being kicked out of Austria for being Jewish in the weeks prior to the arrests and trains into the camps, had their own house.
When years later my grandparents took me back to see it, it was a 30 person apartment house.
They were torn down to nothing.
So, when the rich guys mansion on 5th Avenue gets taken from them, who gets it?
Specifically. WHO. Not theory, but WHO?
Is it the people in the Bronx? Or the people in East Brooklyn?
That would be fine, but is that who is going to get those mansions?
Remember, the next morning, after tearing something down, what exactly is left to replace it?
You cannot give the rich money first to those right under them, that really is quite unfair.
If there are 320 million people, and you take from #1, it needs to go to #320,000,000 and work its way up, IMHO (and if a family has more than one, as each person is an individual, each person is counted separate).
(for those who think this is too hard to understand, think of the Top 128 in an NCAA tournament, each seed ranked 1 to 128 and #1 plays #128 all the way through)
