Imp wrote You do realise America isn't the whole world and Obama does not run the whole world.....

All the other countries struggling financially will not take up the initiative that Obama is thinking about.

There are even some countries that don't have "rich" and "poor" people, the entire country is poor.

A little close minded if you ask me.

And on a personal note, I believe that yet again the world has looked at the end of calender made by an extinct race of people and have decided that this must be it...

Just like all the other "End of World" theories it will pass us by and the majority of civilisation won't even have a clue that it has.

So true look at North Korea for example the dictator and his men or assistants are rich but even that rich isn't as rich as you would think, that country is poor and does not enough food supplies to feed everyone there was this video my friend showed me of some north Korean kids fighting over I think it was a piece of popcorn that was in dog poop. Africa also is struggling with water food and shelter and whatever illness and diseases they have. I don't know what other places are struggling but if america ever wants to stop being one of the most hated countries they should help out the other countries that need help. If Obama does win he should divide it up where he helps half our citizens and half of what ever countries need help. We would stop being such a hated country and maybe even get some new allies and what not, just my opinion though.

Qold wrote i dont get what your saying we need people to be poor?

If you've learned about the pyramid of life "usually around 6th grade or so, I'm a Sophomore now, but easily remember it as this" with a successful civilization you need to have the roles rationed out to the people of lower and upper classes...

If the poor were always poor, and they start making all of this money, they will just start wanting more because it's a luxury that they've never experienced before and let's say they're a factory worker or something that we rely on to produce products we use on a daily basis, if they aren't making the money they want, they will eventually stop making the products which we are reliant on them to create, then everything will backfire just like he stated with what happened to NK or China and such countries that tried this method.

I hope this was easy to understand, I tried my best explaining this, but in essence, YES in order to sustain running America as we know it, it is a vital requirement to have poor people. I don't really come from a fortunate background. Lived in a 2 bedroom apartment in the south side of Chicago throughout most of my childhood so I know if I were to get all of this money I have had no experience with handling, I would buy out a lot of unnecessary things and probably run out of money EASILY. Sorry for dragging this explanation on, cheers...
