Seems pretty dumb. Go redistribute the wealth somewhere the fuck else.

I like when you start troll discussion threads, because the discussions are often informative. This, however.. what are you even..?

I guess I'm just never quite sure if you're smart, yet prone to ideological foolishness, or if you're just constantly trolling. I'm not saying the concept is perfect, or even sound, but "OMG COMMUNISM!" just makes you an intellectual chump.

I really don't mind the idea of more redistribution, I just don't have enough understanding of the whole of economics or economic first principles to gut check these ideas.

I believe that a big pile of cash is better off spread evenly among a big group of people than concentrated with a few. The many will generate more organic demand and drive markets and innovation in an intellectually more pleasing avenue. And it sounds to me like you'll take 1/15th of the economy and reseed the economic bedrock of demand in the country.

This guy says you just want to live in a West-Indies style slave society and I don't think that's a nice thing to want.
