Is it normal to believe that the rich should give away their money?

HAHAHAHAHAHA

And do you have nothing else to say other than repeating yourself? Mindless-TOOL: I wouldn't expect a compassionate response from someone who has obviously been labeled as God's reject in life. You poor thing! (im talking to the poor baby you'll probably end up eating...)

Yea obviously.. Thanks, pal. My bad for thinking they'd like a little help- that's all!

yes, maybe the bums SHOULD be forced to get a job.. unless they're handicapped in some way or have a legitimate disability (mental illness, etc..), it doesn't make any more sense to hoard money when people are starving, whether earned righteously or not. But because that argument will never end due to the stereotypical communist fear versus a real Utopian society, it will NEVER make any sense to take from the rich (regardless of taking from the poor every single day) because it is the same "right" America was stolen (ahem, "founded") upon when originally settled. Manifest Destiny; which people still believe that for some reason we all had the "God-given right to expand and conquer," so hallelujah and amen.. I guess..

Anyway, to repeat myself in regards to the statement about there being people in America who are wealthy enough to make everyone dwelling here also a millionaire, I have since corrected myself by pointing out that even if Bill Gates or whomever couldn't actually pull of that sort of contribution, it is our own government that very well COULD have achieved such a stint as making us all millionaires, at one point or another, in the past... Referring to: the FACT that we're now over 13 trillion dollars in debt due to the decade-long war we're currently tied in to, if we had invested only ONE trillion dollars into the lives of the American people back when our debt was in a surplus in 1998(we apparently had the money!), then we EASILY make every one of us 350 million individuals a millionaire, without a doubt. So my apologies for assuming 70 billion from one man could pull that off, but I had corrected myself by re-framing the idea around the possibility that our one GOVERNMENT could pull it off.. we could! If we had the cash to spare when we removed Hussein for the invisible weapons of mass-destruction, then we most certainly had the money at one point to make every American working or living on the streets a millionaire, too. THE POINT IS: We had the money to end poverty in our country at one point, but never did!

So we're still waiting on Robin Hood to help out every hard working or poverty stricken person out there.. and we'll keep on waiting til the cows come home.

wow, man.. I know it's my own fault for listening to you, but why'd you set me up like that?? You should go back to school and take a few math classes as well.. just saying :P

The saddest part of all is knowing that our troops are really fighting for us like the brave soldiers they are, but they DON'T KNOW that we're the actual bad guys! To quote many intelligent U.S. citizens I'll refer to the fact that the best reasoning most people believe the taliban hates us is because they're jealous of us and they hate our american pride/dream.. Well YEAH it's a shitty dream. Climb to the top and if u avoid politics as ur source of power, than owning a corporate monopoly/oligopoly might pay off the dividends of feeling inadequate with only owning material wealth. Sure chinese workers are committing suicide in Apple factories but hey, at least a part of that multi-billion dollar fortune will donate some money BACK to the charities which hath built up the CEO's noble name and reputation. NO ONE EVEN READS THE NEWS LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW THERE WERE NEVER ANY WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION IN IRAQ, but everyone seems to KNOW that an entire sect of radical extremists are just so indignant with OUR own patriotism that they believe they must retaliate by proving us wrong with their own competitiveness through THEIR life-dream of committing a public suicide. NOT BECAUSE THE PEOPLE OVER THERE KNOW THEY ARE ON THE KING'S LAND WHILST BEING ROBBED BY PIRATES OVERSEAS WHOM HAVE ALREADY WON BECAUSE THE REST OF THE WORLD BACKS US UP?? It's not right what the taliban are doing, of course, but it's even worse sending our own troops in without even knowing what they're fighting for! It's just like America's foundation that we fought off the "Indians" in light of none other than manifest destiny! That's it, and now millions of people were slaughtered by the same minds that are trying to reestablish a new gold standard. IT'S NOT RIGHT TO KILL but with July being the bloodiest month so far, we are killing our own people for an illusion.

so the government borrows money from it's CITIZENS and then stuffs it into the greedy pockets of bailouts that gave such failing AIG execs their $1000 per/night vacation package on us! that's the shittiest trickle-down theory if i've ever heard one considering the flow is running back up the waterfall (impossible). So it pours for them like it did when the bankers ripped us all off, and then WE GO EVEN MORE IN DEBT TO THE PEOPLE WE OWE MONEY TO?? The debt is viewed as our problem at an $8/hr rate when why doesn't any average american look up and question why we owe more those who borrowed from us in the first place?! This is their fault!! The elite who took their sweet ass time to be selfish up until the end of the world so they can blame their charity on some crippling disease? Ya okay WHATEVER no. I don't give an I.O.U. to someone (take out a loan from a bank) and then when the person asks to borrow money from me before I have repaid said person(banker), I don't suddenly owe that person twice as much money- what happens is WE ARE EVEN!!! But because our entire system has laid down it's foundation on a bed of quick-sand, I can ONLY assume that these tools are now realizing that the their invisible money which we have turned over for loans to other countries along with accumulating even more debt from others for our 2nd Vietnam war in Afghanistan.. where all the real money with any actual substance is hiding. $1 trillion+ in gold and i-pod goodies should explain a war or two..

I would love to believe more than anything that Paul Allen gave away his $13.5 billion out of the goodness of his heart, but seeing as this is such a rare event among many others, I'm just not buying it. It's either one of two things, or both: 1. He's spending the to protect himself and his family from apocalypse in the slim chance that 2012 is anything at all like the movie where the world's richest elite pay for their place on the safety ship. Can't be proven, yet it still seems much more reliable than charity. OR 2. I'm not sure which is worse but if a comet doesn't hit us then our own financial system should provide as an ample substitute. Meaning: that when our markets collapse (which they will), every single person indebted to our monetary system, a.k.a. the federal reserve, will be held accountable for what is owed to every other country. So give your money away or you might end up in jail when the rest of the world wakes up and notices that every human on this planet is a slave to money, and those who own the invisible bank claim dominion over other territories that don't want our "help" in the first place!

hard earned money or stealing from everyone in America?? THERE IS NO MONEY INVESTED IN AMERICA- THE RICH WHO HARBOR MOST OF THIS COUNTRIES WEALTH ARE GOING TO BE THE MOST IN DEBT, AS WELL! So I hope you all have great credit so you can take out a loan and sell your soul to the devil: WAY TO GO!

*please wake up, people.. YOU'RE MISSING MY POINT!

yes, but if actually READ what i wrote right above you, you would realize you just fucked yourself..

Are you talking about God beacause thre aint nobody that rich.....
