    Ok

    Lets take all the money from the founders of FaceBook, warren buffett, bill gates and george soros and give it to poor people

    Then study the results

    I'm not PC, and what you are talking about is a direct result of the feminist movement here in the US.

    Did they describe any process on how they would accomplish the redistribution?
    Do they have a description of what happens after the adults spend all that new money, like, say, 6 years after the redistribution (assuming there is still stuff left to buy for the sake of discussion?)

    Unlike physical resources, sunshine and oxygen have an unlimited supply, and no person can breathe more oxygen that anybody else.

    That is paper money printed by the fed

    It would do the poor very little good

    I thought liberals wanted to take the actual wealth of soros and gates and bezos and give that to the poor

    Mover warren buffett into a one-room housing project and let the poor live in his house

    That sort of thing

    Then study how long the poor people remain rich with other people's money

    If all wealth was redistributed, who would have income going forward? From where would income be derived?

    Thats an excellent question

    The poor would not work since they would be too busy spending the $300 K

    Certainly not by taking away someones "extra" inches.

    Money is a representation of value. It's not value. You can't take all the money in the world, put it in a pile, and expect it to represent the same value to everyone. Taking it away from the individual strips it of the value it represented.

    You can't take all the inches in the world and pass them out equally because height is unequally distributed. You can't take all the money in the world and pass it out equally for the same reason.

    Money is unequally distributed because value is unequally distributed. Value is subjective. It's all in your head. You can't force someone to value differently by taking away their representation of it.

    No, what they would end up with is a different system of representing value. A house with $900,000 worth of value still has the same value if you take all the money in the world and burn it. The token you use to define that value may change, but the value is still the same.

    I guess living in million dollar homes, driving Teslas and 100k BMWs doesn't make you rich by Lesh's standards. They're just middle class;). Thanks for educating me. And by the way I said some, but in your usual ADD lack of READING COMPREHENSION style, you went right to the insults.

    You're referring to true wealth, I understand. Then again you blasted Trump many times for being an idiot because he went bankrupt, so perhaps its you who doesn't know much.

    Athletes use up more O2 than most other people:) Tax those creeps more for sucking away the atmosphere. Like people who drive too much;)
