that's why we don't want to destroy money or remove it from the marketplace, but rather sieze and redistribute it.

The real theft is that of the highest class from the working people.

Ok, BRTD, you convinced me.  Gather up all the money and I will redistribute it to each according to their needs.  Now, not everyone will recieve cash, some will receive goods or services of equal value.

I have even figured out how much everyone who opposes me doing the distribution is entitled to:  .27$.  That is the price for a good bullet for a .357 magnum.   That is what anyone who opposes me needs.

This will leave mor emoney for me and those who support me.

I suggest you call get on board now before it is too late.

BRTD likes to say he is not a Maoist or Stalinist.  I say you cannot support a communist regime and not be.

we already have wealth redistribution in the US. I just want to expand it.

Actually, the best thing would be to redistribute it before it gets in the hands of anyone. That's why I support doing away with the minimum wage, and putting a wage cap in instead. Say that no one in the company can be paid any more than say 10x the lowest paid employee in the company. No more of the people working 8+ hour sweat filled days while the CEO sits in his air conditioning office signing papers and taking 1000x as much. If the CEOs want a raise, the lowest workers get one too. That's what's fair.

I've never made enough to qualify and probably won't this year (probably will next year though), but I currently get about 15% of my paycheck removed in payroll taxes.

We have wealth redistribution in the US. It's called taxation and government giveaway programs. No totalitarian. I just want to expand this.

Furthermore, it's possible to redistribute wealth before it is distributed in the first place by regulating the distribution. Wage caps and pay requirements can do this.
