There needs to be caps on income and the rest TAXED --a 35 room apt in Manhattan RIDICULOUS !

I lean more towards socialism than capitalism, but Stalin was a tyrant.

If I were wealthy, the idea that machetes are cheap would currently keep me up at night...

Helping each other is key, even on a small level. Share a lunch with a friend. Share resources. The squeeze is happening all over the world. Get ready to hibernate - together!

@muggyspin yes i agree if there is a minimum wage there should be a maximum wage this would clear up any problems in the world pretty quick i mean really if you only live 80 to 100 years and you have kids and there born with 5 billion dollars then they go make more money and this goes on infinatley generation after generation then that intial 5 billion fro 5 generations back never gets spent it just grows and grows and grows its pointless absurd wealth that could end world wars and hunger

lol, first... what is "rich"? most people are not "rich". Most people are either poor or middle class. What is rich, 60,000 a year? (thats less than 35% of the nation). 100,000 a year? (less than 20% of the nation). 250,000 a year? Less than 15% of the nation. lol... to stupid and lazy to get rich? Get a clue, the vast majority of the "rich" (top 15%) got there because thier ancestors were rich, paid thier educations, and got them an "in".

[wotmot223]

@muggyspin caps? ok. now, how do you think you will convince a majority of this nation to support that cap? The amercian people on the whole don't support that idea.

[moistfaucet]

american socialism ? police, fire department, post office. they are socialist. if you associates Stalin, tyrant, with socialism, can we associates Bush, Liar with Republican ?

[purplestarxxx2002]

You Jealous Marxists make me sick. Just because your too stupid and lazy to make it rich in America you have to try to steal from successful people who are rich. How much does that Communist Ehrenreich make? And Bill Moyers too. I hate limosine liberals.

@1111che He was definitely one of them. He was behind bank deregulation in the 90s as well. I don't particularly trust him, though I believe that the bailouts kept us from economic armageddon. What i wonder is whether or not economic armageddon is actually worse than what we have now. I mean sure total liquidation of our economy would suck but it would be a lot healthier a means of creating REAL economic progress and healthy growth than what we have now, essentially an economy on life-support.
