Not all the money that the rich people have is invested. The part that gets invested stimulates compagnies more than it stimulates consumers. This contributes to overproduction smile

"WTH!!!! WTF!!!!! OMFG!!!! Now this is pure nonsense.

What does a rich man do with his money? Does he make a mattress that can hold it all? Does he Burn it? How is he irresponsible with it that it does not contribute?

I say you are so wrong as to defy logic."

There are different kinds of logic Einstein, it's about time you should realise that. We're talking economic logic here.


"A rich person stays rich by SPENDING his/her money. In fact most of their wealth is not in cash, but in the value of the things they own. Every penny they make ultimately is via employing others to do things smartly, economically, and productively... Thus how they get their extensive wealth to increase. If you invest in a company, excepting day trading and stock trading in general, which I will talk of in a few days, you are giving them, like say Google... the cash to create new jobs, to create new products, to pay people better wages. This was a wise investment if you got on board early btw, you might even be a millionaire if you did it on day 1
If I buy a painting, as a billionaire, I have financed the arts. Same with a statue, a pond, or an opera house.

If I build a mansion I have furnished hundreds of jobs, from the plumbers, to the cement/foundation people, to the wall hangers, to the furniture makers, to the tile installers, to the carpet people, to the electricians, to the roofers, and more.


The rich are rich, unless they inherited, or traded up to it, because they know how to make money better than you or me (well you at least, I am moving up the chain now). Even trading takes skill and effort, and is not to be underestimated."

Of course rich people spend money, but the "excess" money is spent slower. They save a lot more money, wich never benefits the economy as well as direct spending. Also, savings tend to benefit the compagnies more than the consumers, wich could lead to overproduction when the wealth is not redistributed.
This is what happened in the '30s.

"Do some research on your own. Recycling is up, hazardous waste is more controlled and kept safe, cars emit much less hazardous materials, and nuke plants are becoming so safe as to be unable to go critical via design.
Eliminate Carbon Dioxide and your argument fails utterly."

What about smog? What about small particle dust? What about massive erosion? Those things have become a great problem that didn't reduce over the decades....

"I would say Obama, yet he has not taken office yet so technically does not qualify. However Prophecy wise, and I am a Prophet, he will be the one who sets back Blacks in office for a decade or more, so the news headlines will read, and will utterly destroy the notion of Liberal Policies of his nature for a good while (The remainder of my lifetime)"

So, you're saying Obama will be a terrible president, partly because it'll get more black people in office?

"Both of them thought killing the rich, paying the poor, and public projects would help."

You need to redistribute wealth, or your economy simply collapses... So taking money from the rich and redistribute it to the poor is only self-preservation. It's odd that the more the pure capitalist gets in trouble, the harder people cling to it...

"The pilgrims tried to do a socialistic plan, whereupon each would contribute to a colony 'pot' and would take what they needed from the community stores as well. This did not work out so well as quickly it was shown the human factor made many slothful, lazy, and greedy. This resulted in hard times for the pilgrims. When the system was abandoned the pilgrims started getting their act's together, and got the surplus, which lead to the first thanksgiving day.
In short this nation was somewhat started on communism/socialism. And it failed immediately. When capitalism was placed, the people grew prosperous and were able to avert the disaster communism/socialism was causing."

Of all possible things, this is anarchism not socialism or communism. If there's no governmental instance, we call it anarchism. And yes, that's doomed to fail, as not all people are honest enough to contribute. This, however doesn't prove anything for anarchism or socialism..
