If the World's Population Was Shrunk to 100 People (1 Viewer)

How long would it take for the number to dwindle?

The poor would kill the rich, the intolerant would kill the homosexuals, Muslims would kill the Christians, Jews and Americans.

Basically the world would be left with 5 poor, Muslim, closet homosexuals.

I don't understand how it's shtick to think people shouldn't be able to live off of other people.

I didn't specify live a luxurious life, but there are millions of people that live off the system.

All social services should come with strings, from the most invasive of taking care of the crazies but requiring them to be housed, to requiring people receiving HEAP to install automatic thermostats with preset temperatures.

The amount of money that me spend isn't what bothers me, it's the way we spend it. There's not supposed to be a free lunch.

No strings. We're taking it away from the people like you who complain the most and giving it to the laziest people we can find. Just for spite.

Cute, but we/I don't complain about the money that's taken, we complain about how it's spent.

Eat for a day or eat for a life and all that jazz.

Hand-ups, not hand-outs.

Meanwhile, your policies ensure the poor stay poor.

You are really mixing up two different rationalles/policies.

1. One sort of reasoning says: "I don't care if hand-outs are for the greater good; people still shouldn't get hand-outs unless they work hard enough and spend it wisely" (it begs the question of whose standards we should use, but whatever).

2. The other sort of reasoning says: "I'm only against certain hand-outs because these things are more harmful for the poor than they are helpful."

I can get behind #2. I generally roll my eyes at people who flail around at #1, without any kinds of consideration or thought about what action is better for the society as a whole.

Sure, they would...who owns the weapons? Throw the poor a loaf of bread once in awhile and they'll keep doing what they're told.

Hehe, not that I know of, I don't have kids or a mortage. I still claim 0 at work and barely break even.

That being said, I do side more with Hand than Holmes when it comes to taxes...though I'd like to see the Code simplified.

As to Sweet J, I don't think that conditional handouts and socially beneficial handouts are mutually exclusive.

The most harmful thing to most of the poor is being poor. We (society) doesn't have the money or the ambition to just pay folks to be middle class (BIG for you and me?).

Therefore, the best way to help is to tie public funding to tools that can help people break the cycle of poverty.

We also don't service the "Broken poor" enough. There's no reason why people should be living on the street, but there's a big difference between the half-pantsed fellow I saw today and the dozen kids holding signs I also see daily.

Sorry, my notebook must be smudged. There's some guy with a username starting with G that does some sort of real estate that claims to pay virtually no taxes. My apologies.

You guys with such an issue should really look into what you are crying about. My brother in law gets assistance because of disability. The slightly less than 600 a month doesn't go very far. Even with the food stamps and rental assistance. He can't own anything, he can't work even part time or he loses everything and he isn't capable of working full time to make up for it. People always ready to cut someone else's throat for a pittance.

What is his disability if we may ask. I don't think anybody has a problem with a legitimate disability. The problem is the % who are fraudulent

There are two kind of poor...The working poor ...who I am ok with and don't mind helping....and the deadbeat poor who we should declare war on and kill off as many as possible.

Walking to work with the wife this morning and she starts laughing and walking quicker.I don't instantly realize what's going on and then notice the indigent fellow about 5 feet in front of us with his bare rear fully displayed.

Not sure if I should start hiding money if she's noticing homeless butts now.

Zero reason the homeless should be allowed to break numerous laws IRT decency, loitering and vagrancy.

You know the crazy homeless don't even bother me. It is the people who make a living off of welfare and fake disability collectors that I have problem with. You know the people who work harder at avoiding work...IE; "The Worthless"

This is a major problem. Your brother should be able to work part time without impacting his assistance. In fact, we should give him more assistance because he is working and providing some kind of benefit to society.

Show up at your job and work all week, here's a bonus to supplement your income.

It's a terrible policy and only negatively impacts his life.

Let him trade disability dollars for work dollars on a 1 for 2 basis (I'd do it for everyone with a BIG; here's 20K, for every 2 dollars you make you lose 1 from the BIG).

A perfect example of hand-out, not hand-up.

Going to need to have to have both knees replaced at a minimum. His inability to get around led to weight issues and he is also now dealing with diabetes.

Actually I support a BIG for everyone. And every dollar of income you make above the big is taxed. Very few shelters in my plan. Then someone like my BIL could still work a little and maybe even own some stuff. I would think the BIG would make Welfare for adults obsolete. And it would expand the tax base.

 
On the bright side, shrinking the world to 100 people would not significantly impact MC Gas Money's t-shirt business.
