I think that is part of the problem CWD. I have no idea what steps would be needed to change this, or even how to do it. I mean I could think of some basic things that probably wouldn't work as effectively as they should. But raising taxes higher for people like that?
If I have been understanding the news properly. Right now Cyprus is dealing with going completely bankrupt and I believe they are trying to pass a law that will take 10% from everyones bank account to pay back loans they have taken. Which unfortunately is likely just giving the money to that 1 percent group. But why not just take 10% from them instead? Why not take more than that and flow it back into the economy or somewhere else.
I might have to research this a bit, but if anyone has an answer I would like to hear it.
Robin Hood style? Steal from the rich and give to the poor? :P Sounds like a cool plot...Modern Day, Robin Hood.
It's a very sad and very depressing truth about our economy. >:[
I guess thats what happens when your main news stations are mainly owned by the same people who are in the 1%, LOLOLOL. God bless freedom from regulation above all!
At this point, I'd like to gather all the other non-yanks together to laugh and make snide remarks (all whilst ignoring our own fucked economies!)
Ironically, all you non yanks are often the first folk to bring up comments like this.
However, if you want to look at the progression of Macroeconomics on the big picture, it's actually looking like one of the main reasons America is likely going to remain afloat is because the Euro is depreciating faster than the dollar is.
Food for thought :P
Here's the question though, and one I will gladly play devils advocate for the sake of discussion.
How would you even begin to change that?
