We will bury you! *slams lecturn with stilletto for effect* According to Billy Crystal, in his "Midnight Train to Moscow" special he did for the cable channel Showtime, what Kruschev was really saying when he slamed his shoe on the table was "This isn't my shoe! Somebody took my shoe!", but the translator took liberties with the translation. |

Much to the chagrin of true capitalists everywhere, the Communist infiltration of SL is approaching dangerous levels. The communists have (nearly) succeeded in devaluing the L$ by 20% over the past few months. Additionally, their influence has strongarmed LL into maintaining stipends (which is money LL simply creates out of thin air) which is flooding the SL platform with a sea of L$s, leading to further devaluation. Moreover, lately they have increased their activity in the forum sector, escalating their socialist rhetoric to previously unseen levels. More and more forum posts demand "free" content and welfare. But nothing is free! The more LL hands out, the more we all pay. There is no free lunch. Somebody always pays. These recent antics are evidence that the communist element of SL has stepped up their game and taken craftiness to a new level. They are much more organized and much more efficient than ever before. Hopefully, LL will use some of the $11 million dollar funding it received to ward off these dangerous elements before SL undergoes a communist revolution and we all end up standing in bread queues and using Pravada as toilet paper. We must stop this infiltration!! When the Lindens started the US $225 dollar lifetime membership they PROMISSED they would pay 500 Lindens. If this is taken away I will consider it a broken promiss. |

Ok, I do see your point. However, isn't asking for a handout the same as communism? I mean, you want it without working. Its a re-distribution of income, which is the heart of communist doctrine, is it not? And what is wrong with re-distrubution of wealth? I think its wrong that so few have so much money, many have enought to where they could pay ever single American 1 million dollars and still have money to blow on fancy toys |

I'd rather be DEAD than RED! People often say I'm a proletariat, but actually, I'm presbyterian. I'm a Frisbeeterian. When I die my soul will go up on the roof. _____________________

Somewhere along the line, somebody earned that vast wealth. They should have the right to spent it and distribute it. Nobody else has any rights on it. Redistribution of wealth is nothing but theivery. |

Good advice. Go take it yourself.
I'm personally for buying land around your shops and offering freebies of everything you sell. With huge 'before you pay, get it free here!' signs. Oh look capitolism. |

Redistribution of wealth is nothing but theivery. Or just good karma.  Actually I believe that people should earn their own way and it is wrong to steal from the rich and give to the poor no matter how lovable it made robin hood look. But I also believe in being charitable and generous with our fellow man. Oh and Jamie this isn't personal, just a small observation. People may listen to what you have to say more if you weren't shouting about "communism" and simply stuck to state your economic views. Honestly when I first read your original post I thought it was sarcasm... that you were being silly, until I read the responses and realized you meant it. It's the tone. No offense. |

It is not. It is Not Many of the old money have no ideal where they got it. Its time to take from the rich and give to the poor Do you understand the word theft? If I take something you have, how is that not theft? What have you done to earn my wealth? _____________________

Always a Republican spoiler lurking about What have the old rich done to earn their money... Nothing.... In fact many don't even know where they got it. Its time to take from the filthy rich and give to the Poor. what could be so wrong with that |

Lets say you do steal from the rich, however, and give it to the poor. The poor have not earned it. By your ethics, I could then steal that money from the poor - They didn't earn it. Hell, the rich could then steal it back. Its time to take from the filthy rich and give to the Poor. what could be so wrong with that Because it is theft. Do you understand what the word means? _____________________

Its time to take from the filthy rich and give to the Poor. what could be so wrong with that I currently make less than minimum wage. It is therefore very likely that you make more then me. So, by your own reasoning, I deserve what you have. I'll go borrow $20 and open a PO Box then you can send me all your stuff. There's nothing wrong with that, so you'll be happy to send all your cash and other possessions to me, right? |

But most of the rich don't even know where their money came from and they could all give each and every poor person 1 million and still not miss it... And giving to the poor is not Theft its helping them. BUt then, the Republicans would not have a power base. Thats why they defend the Rich, because the Rich give money to the Republican election committies. |

Inquisitions, attacking and killing Witches (In one city almost 95% of the population was killed by christians because they thought they were witches) Killing Pagans, etc etc etc |

But most of the rich don't even know where their money came from How is this relevent? and they could all give each and every poor person 1 million and still not miss it... Except it would be a futile gesture, because it would screw the economy up after a week or two and create a new level of poverty, causing almost no net change. And giving to the poor is not Theft its helping them. I agree. Giving isn't theft. I give to charity. You, however, are proposing TAKING. That's not GIVING. BUt then, the Republicans would not have a power base. Thats why they defend the Rich, because the Rich give money to the Republican election committies. Whereas your political alignment wouldn't have a power base if it didn't promise free handouts. I don't think you can really claim that as a moral victory. _____________________

The Reason why its Relevant is that the Rich did NOT EARN THEIR MONEY... same argument you are making to keep the poor from receaving money directly from those top 5% who make 95% more money than the rest of the nation |
