Wreck the Economy - Give it All to the Billionaries!

I wanted to thank HS blog readers for the spirited and thought provoking contributions to the recent posts about money here on the HS blog. When reading the comments it is clear that thought went into what was shared. And I learned something from each of you. Though we all had different views, with the gusto of a good spar we exchanged them with "no fighin' words."

The conversation left me wanting to send all of my money to the worlds billionaires. After all, they're the only people who have it all and still think they don't have enough. They are our poor, our burden! And they need welfare if they're ever to change. We can give it to them. We can't afford to let another day go by that proves to them that their belief in lack is true. Lets prove abundance is real and send them every nickel we have.

Of course the byproduct of this action will be that the billionaires will have all the world's money and the rest of us will be forced to create a world without it, yes we'll have to share and take care of one another, darn! But perhaps for a fleeting moment the billionaires will believe that they have it all, right before they realize that the paper ain't worth s*it if no one else but them uses it.

Have a heart and send your money to the first billionaire you can find. And thanks again for a great conversation this week.

that's exactly what the government does- gives money to whoever makes the best deals with them. if the government weren't there to force people to pay the billionaires, people would give their money to which ever company they think deserves it. its like, i like amazon cause their stuff is pretty useful, so they get my money. i don't like walmart so i don't give them any of my money. if others don't agree, they can shop at walmart all they want. if enough people do agree, walmart goes out of business. that's what happened to woolworths. they sucked so everybody stopped going there. voting with your wallet is one of the most effective votes you can make.

In my opinion, this is the idea that the Romans killed Jesus for. They knew how to handle advocates of tax evasion, but how do you fight the idea of a 100% tax rate?

Engraved images honoring the deities of our civic religion are problematic from many different ethical and spiritual perspectives. I still use money, but not because I think it's the right thing to do.
