what if : philosophy : WHAT IF YOU TAKE ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD AND DISTRIBUTE IT EQUALLY?

[+] serious ballot by jappy
ACTIVE Mon Nov 20, 06 - Sat Aug 15, 09
Let's say, to make things easier to understand mathematically, that 90% of the world's money is owned by 10% of the world's people.

So, if you take all the money in the world and redistribute it equally, what do you think will happen in 10 years?

In 10 years everyone will be living equally, money wise.
That same 10% is going to have 90% of the money again.
this ballot is dangerous communist propaganda
Closer to equilibrium
This is socialism

COMMENTS:
I say this because I believe wholeheartedly that the vast majority of people who have earned their way to having wealth would do so again if they had to.

You will find that the majority of millionaires made their money after failing at least once or twice before finding success.

I also believe that there are those people out there who are simply content to live with next to nothing, on minimum wage, without enough ambition to ever attain wealth, beyond buying the weekly lottery ticket of course.

^ True.
Wealth distribution sounds nice and fair, but those who want it back will get it.

And there's alot out there too that either literally wouldnt know what to do with the money or use it for wastefull/harmful means. Which is not fair really because it's wasting money.

A true communist wrote this ballot.

The world would be closer to equilibrium but a perturbation of that magnitude would take longer than 10 years to return to a stable state.

I somehow doubt hurricane and Civilian bothered reading anothing other than the title of the ballot.

If either would have read the description or comment they would have realized I'm anything BUT a communist.

xmas is such a prosperous time of year, that big red commie coming down the chimney to redistribute all the toys ... "look mommy I got a hammer! What's in this sickle shaped box ... "

We all know it's Fidel.

Voted : That same 10% is going to have 90% of the money again.
Because the smarts-slash-cons they used to *get* the money will get it right back for them.

I think what you are describing is akin to Socialism. Unfortunately, as good as it sounds, it just wouldn't work. For one thing, the encentive to better yourself would be elimanated and thus the workforce would be practically useless.
