The only problem is that some people couldn't afford to test their stupidity, so maybe a smaller fee would be better. True, it wouldn't determine if they were extremely stupid or just having a laugh, but it would still show some results for the people that entered the money. If someone did decide to save up to test on $100 then that is really stupid, for they would have had time to think it over - but if you were that stupid maybe that wouldn't be the case, the writing would be a bigger barrier.
Maybe we could have a button on the machine that says, "If you want the rich to pay for the test press this button." That way we can get rid of not only the stupid people but also those with a sense of entitlement ;)
I don't even know how to make your statement fit given the debate topic. Please tie it in for me cause I'm not seeing it. Are you saying that it's the poor's right to make the rich pay? ;)
It's everybody's right to have the same opportunities in life, and it's everybody's right to be treated fairly. It's everyone's right to get help when they need it, and it's every child's right to an equal education.
But, you know, fuck everyone else, we'll let them all die in ignorance and poverty because you're too selfish to give them some of the money you are lucky to have simply because you were born in the right place at the right time and got the right opportunities.
Awww, those hard done by rich people, how dare we make them share their ridiculously vast amounts of money with the poor, the sick and children, it's tyranny i tell you! We shouldn't be giving those dirty poor people money, it's their fault for randomly being born in the wrong place at the wrong time. How dare they not choose to be rich! Why didn't they choose to have the right parents!
If the poor stopped having babies then, by definition, the children would be born to rich families (right place, right time) and after a generation we would have beaten poverty. It's a win-win situation ;)
Sell to whom? Right now, corporations rely on the masses flocking to purchase whatever shit they spew out at whatever price they want, because we have no choice in the matter. If all the poor, or as you seem to be suggesting, non rich people are all dead, the corporations have no one to sell anything to. The rich will be forced to either become individually self sufficient or collapse again into a class based society.
Not allowing the sick and the poor die off only makes the human race weaker. Think of it this way, if the sick and the poor die off, then the people who are left are the healthy and the wealthy. Miserable should be put out of their misery..., it's the humane thing to do. In other words, if you want to end poverty and sickness, then let them die off and, by definition, you've solved the problem ;)
Sorry Hitler. So, a reinstating of social Darwinism eh, it would indeed make the human race stronger.
However, once all the poor are dead, there'll be no one left for the rich people to exploit for money, and all those republicans will have nothing to complain about. Remember, the reason the rich are rich is because the poor are forced to work for them, making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
That's right. Once the poor are all gone, there won't be anyone left to bitch about the rich. Then the rich would finally get a chance to go to heaven because they won't be exploiting anyone. It's a win-win situation ;)
They'll run out eventually, then the least rich people will have to work for the richest people, and so it all begins again, a new generation of the poor begins.
I don't want people to die, but people will die anyways. If it is only the people who cannot support themselves, I see nothing wrong with that. In the USA, everyone is given free education and the ability to get scholarships to get into college.
If you hate having a job, you can invent things or learn programming or write books or draw to make money.
If you have absolutely no valuable talents, then you are taking up food, and when there are people born in Africa who are starving, yet want to do great things, people willing to work or invent, and we are giving food and money to lazy people or people unwilling to make an effort to live in modern society, then I do not see why I should support that with my money.
