Re: Is it time to take from the rich to give to the poor?

A way to reframe the op is to ask: is it time to stop giving money to the rich they haven't earned? For example, fractional banking BS. Banks can loan money to you. When they've loaned it to you owe them not only that money but also interest. IN addition to that the bank can now loan out that sum t...

Re: Is it time to take from the rich to give to the poor?

Is it time to take from the rich to give to the poor? No, if you want to force other people, rich or poor, it is not enough to fill out some voting paperwork, because that is just too easy. On the contrary, you must put skin in the game. You must prove that you are willing to risk your life and die...

Re: Is it time to take from the rich to give to the poor?

Is it time to take from the rich to give to the poor? The problem with this sort of question is that you are both rich and poor relative to other members of society. So how much should we take from you and give to those poorer than you; and how much should we take from those richer than you and giv...

Re: Is it time to take from the rich to give to the poor?

Taking from the rich and giving to the poor actually means: - Taking from the Sheriff of Nottingham, and giving to the poor. - The Sheriff of Nottingham, is the government. The government has twisted this old chestnut to mean: Taking from the wealthy citizens and giving to the government. Typical g...

Re: White House Cocaine

White House Cocaine.

Has anyone else noted how few Drug Lords are found in our long and costly drug war farce.

Our Drug Lords and organized criminals elements are our own Governments.

That is why they are leaving world banking laws so lose and easy for them and their criminal empires to use.

Is it time to take from the rich to give to the poor?

Is it time to take from the rich to give to the poor? The hockey stick graph introduced to the climate issue startled enough to start the trend to deal with it. That shape showed the gross indecency and immorality of our collective focus. That same immoral shape is what most countries now suffer in ...

Re: How is the Karma enforced?

It's another variation of the teleological thought-police like religion, and it falls apart when u examine it. Consider this. If i steal Joe's wallet, am i accruing bad karma? Well wait a minute. Joe musta done somethin bad himself if he got his wallet stolen, right? He's got bad karma, so his wall...

Re: Noah's Ark

Hi "gary childress", why did you remove your questions here about what would have happened? To me they were good questions. They're not important. The world is a horrible place for most people. And there's little any of the rest of us can do to sway our governments to behave differently. ...
