Shared wealth

Would  if there was a new policy created that no one is allowed to be rich beyond a certain point. If that person earns more than they're allowed to, they must spread that wealth out to everyone else.

I pose a simple question, if you had more money then you could possibly spend, would you; die with it, leave it to only family members directly related or make the suffering of the less fortunate a little easier, more then likely allowing those you benevolently sponsored to flourish. This should be a no brainer but unfortunately its not in U.S. society! Me thinks another dark age is settling in!

I'm just talking of India here.. Yes! It should be. Especially from the politicos. The best irony of the above statement is found best here. It is totally looted...

India is failing because of its crippling Democratic government. There is no economic freedom there. India is ranked 124/179. This means that it is one of the poorest Democratic nations. Russia is the poorest. Democracies are not the cause of great wealth. It is economic freedom.

India is failing due to a million reasons. Democracy included to a certain extent. It is drawn. Besides, I was simply talking of corruption. That does include the economic freedom but, it is different in the case of India. The cause of such acts is purely the Human psychology here..

Side: Yes, No poverty

This has been tried before and now, and it is failing miserably.

Tell that to certain European countries. It's more successful then you think.

Unfortunately, you have no idea what you are talking about. There is not one European country that is socialist nor communist, they are all capitalist mixed economies with heavy social programs. There is no shared wealth, it is transferred wealth. China, Cuba or North Korea is shared wealth. China is thriving because of its movement towards markets.

you've worked hard for your money and some alcoholic gets claim to some of your rewards that's idiotic and foolish and no person would willingly do that even if they say so know

I strongly sympathise with socialist goals, but the policy you described simply won't work. If people aren't allowed to get rich past a certain point, they simply won't bother to. Why would you put in extra work and take extra risks to earn more money if you know all that money will be taken away from you?

Wealth is not obtained by money or gold, it is goods and services.

No of course not! If I worked hard for something, why should I have to share it with someone else unless I wanted to. I really think it is dumb because one should be rewarded for all their hard work. This shared wealth would lead us almost into communism because we would all essentially be equal. It won't be fair if we would have to share our wealth. People would stop working all together if they knew that the money they were working for was only going to be given to someone else. It's completely unfair.

I believe that for the most part, we have to earn our entitlements. We are not born with financial entitlements. I put in the 8 hours of work, not you. If you have got some sort of REAL problem (not some BS bummed knee or back pain that no one can really prove) that prevents you from working, then perhaps I would be happy to help, but other than that, those are my hours on the time clock, not yours.
