The government is never going to *give* someone a million dollars, no matter how poor they are. The money you are talking about it given through new jobs, tax cuts, and other NON-DIRECT methods of restoring the economy. ALSO, I would like to bring up what you said about poor people just wasting their money when they get it. That would be a good thing you dunce. The reason the economy is bad is because nobodies buying anything (that mixed with a few more secondary reasons). If someone spends 1 million dollars on electronics, for example, the electronic companies will get the revenue (not all 1 million, but profit). This increased profit will cause more demand in the companies, and that means they will need to hire more workers to keep up with demands. So now you have higher demands and higher supply. if you know ANYTHING about government you know that supply-and-demand is one of the most important parts. The increased supple and demand of the products due to the poor people buying will not only increase jobs, but also lower the cost of the product itself.

Anyways, that my take on a fraction of what you said. I didn't bother reading your entire post, and i'm actually sorry but dude you gotta learn to summarize or something.

and this is why a world with no money would be great.

actually nothing is going to change. the mayans 2012 was actually like 11 or 12 months ago due to them not counting leap years. and how would a date change so society and im not saying an event im saying a date. Also just stop posting your are going to embarass yourself come on here after you get an eduacation

Honestly, I stopped reading after the 1st paragraph because of such a politics fail.

1st. Obama isnt on the "poor side". If he was, he would of actually rose taxes on the rich and not want to cut medicare, medicade, and social security. He would also stop the massive defense budget spending. which leads me to my second point.

2nd. Obama isnt taking money from the rich, he promised to the middle and lower class he was going to tax the "rich". He didnt. Infact he is giving billions of middle class and lower class dollars to corporations. Yes, some corporations are taxed negatively(ex. they pay negative % in taxes).

3rd. Do you even know what poor people want to buy?
FOOD! The poor dont want to buy ipads and race cars and mansions, they want to buy food. Did you know most people on food stamps only have like less than $75 a week to feed their family?

the world wont end bro

I'm going to stop saying this from now on because it's getting annoying.

The Mayan calender isn't affected by leap years in any way.
It doesn't run off the Gregorian calender.

They were masters of time. They had pinpoint accuracy in their calculations of time. We messed our calculations up and had to create leap years after finding out. If anyone's calendar is off, it would be ours.

How would you like it if the government takes 90% of your money?

if everybody in america were millionaires then it would cost 100 pounds for a chocolate bar...

This. I was going to say something like this, but thanks for saving me time. In theory, the government wouldn't directly take 98 million $ from a rich person and give 1 million to 98 individuals. Use common sense please.
