You're trying to punish the hard workers who take risks.
Do you know what bill gates did before he invented Windows? ...He sacrificed to get where he is with his
hard work.
How about all the risk takers who start businesses with no money, they take out loans or use their savings or home equity, like the lady who
invented Baby Einstein, not knowing wether they'll end up in bankruptcy.
This country was built by hard working risk takers.
Would you sacrifice all your time or money to do what these people did with no guarantee on return?

I propose to work the same limitations on wealth has to exist for corporations and foundations, or it will just work against the goal. The logic behind it is that money is basically an energy, and to make society health that energy has to to be evenely spread out to its members, or we get these tumurous growths that are the modern day elites. Redistribution of wealth is a bit like social panacea, it would cure a lot of the problems we have today but to be implemented it requires a new mindset of what it means to be a person and a fair bit of unconditioning from media and marketing brainwashing.

Sounds like a vote for Obama to me. He is offering just the socialist platform you are looking for. BP

That will never happen. We need to take this country back and restore our Constitutional Republic, regain our foothold as the greatest industrial nation, bring all our troops home to protect America, disband the Federal Reserve and try them for treason and institute money issued BY the PEOPLE PER THE U.S. Constitution,

Instead of going to redistribution of wealth, I'd like to take it to the other extreme...
You can't pay for food?...you don't eat -- Can't pay for your school?...you don't get an education. -- Can't pay for a doctor?...stay sick. -- Can't pay for a house?...live on the street. -- Crops fail?...better luck next year. Don't they have private insurance for that? -- Not one penny of government welfare!

The U.S. Constitution mandates a SOCIALIST CENTRAL BANK for the United States, that benefits ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS by NOT charging interest.
If our founding fathers mandated socialist equality that all men are created equal and should enjoy financial freedom ... I certainly am going to agree with them.

This sure sounds a lot like Communism's original breeding ground. In order to better assist the people, take everything away redistribute it among everyone. The problem is that no Government can be trusted to do something like that.
