One thousand years from now

With the money taxed from the 1%.

Not that the distinction between theft and taxation was ever that great.

You're retarded... You're retarded...

You're retarded... yes you are....

You're retarded, not dearly departed (damned shame), you're retarded, belly up to the retard bar.

Bwuahahahahahahahaahahaha!

Go back to the physics group, ya retarded f*ck.

BTW, dumbfuck, asswipes like you that f*ck with the follow up headers should be cleared from the gene pool.

If technology reaches the point where only 1% of the population can produce everything everyone needs, the people who choose to work can hardly complain that they're being robbed. They would be standing on the shoulders of the billions who worked to make the world what it is.

It's likely that working will be a privilige, not a punishment. I'd want to be one of the 1% who has something productive to do.

Would one person need 300 meals a day? 100 houses?

Just curious: do you have to cast the pompous phrases because of the necessity of whoring; or is this your true real nature?

Just think how much better off that 1% would be if they didn't have to support 99 leaches per? That sounds like a worthwhile goal. It is a shame that the way things currently that the 1% selected would be 100% leaches.

Prezactly.

There is none, is the whole point.

PErhaps, but 99% of the billions still living do nothing to justify their existence.

I wouldn't like being the one who has to support 99 lazy bums.

You sound like Slowman now. It doesn't matter what one "needs".

You wouldn't have to. Chances are 99:1 that you'd be one of the lazy bums.

I write the way I think. Apparently you do, too.

Where would the roads/fire trucks/schools/hospitals/cops come from? I suppose you could go live in the wilderness and forage to avoid needing all that stuff. You wouldn't need any education, which would save a lot of time.

I am a total chronic insomniac. That's when I am working. I get about three to five hrs sleep a night.

When I am out of work, I cannot sleep at all. I MUST have something to do or I will die of lack of sleep. Rename myself George Orr.

Hey, I know! We could let the government buy up some really big businesses, and they could pay for all that stuff with the profits!

Oh wait! That's what is about to happen!

Isn't that "socialism"?

Do not reply to this generic message, it was automatically generated; you have been kill-filed, either for being boringly stupid, repetitive, unfunny, ineducable, repeatedly posting politics, religion or off-topic subjects to a sci. newsgroup, attempting cheapskate free advertising for profit, because you are a troll, simply insane or any combination or permutation of the aforementioned reasons; any reply will go unread.

Boringly stupid is the most common cause of kill-filing, but because this message is generic the other reasons have been included. You are left to decide which is most applicable to you.

There is no appeal, I have despotic power over whom I will electronically admit into my home and you do not qualify as a reasonable person I would wish to converse with or even poke fun at. Some weirdoes are not kill- filed, they amuse me and I retain them for their entertainment value as I would any chicken with two heads, either one of which enables the dumb bird to scratch dirt, step back, look down, step forward to the same spot and repeat the process eternally.

This should not trouble you, many of those plonked find it a blessing that they are not required to think and can persist in their bigotry or crackpot theories without challenge.

You have the right to free speech, I have the right not to listen. The kill-file will be cleared annually with spring cleaning or whenever I purchase a new computer or hard drive.

I hope you find this explanation is satisfactory but even if you don't, damnly my frank, I don't give a dear. Have a nice day.

Roads - private and paid for by the road users.

Fire trucks - private and paid for by the customers in the form of paid service or insurance.

Schools - private and paid for by the students or their parents, or whoever else decide to *voluntarily* pay for them.

Washington DC is the example of the failure of current tax-funded school system.

Hospitals - paid for by the hospital users.

Cops are already being paid locally, AFAIK. (I do not know details though)

Contract enforcement and repealing external aggressions are only two legitimate roles of the government.

Should we also make food and housing free for all and paid for by taxation? How about entertainment? Cars? Oh, I forgot it is called socialism and has been tried in Soviet Union and Eastern block countries. Guess how did it end?

Nope. Within the decade and it won't be on services but on insurance.

It is impossible to reach this point. Human wants are pretty much infinite and limited only by the means available. I would like to fly in a space shuttle, never been in space, should be an exciting ride and spe6ctacular view.

Currently 1% of population can produce basic nutrition and simple shelters for everyone. Somehow humans prefer more than that.

Which will deplete the resources to produce more. That destroys all productive efforts.

/BAH

Definitely not.

/BAH

Nope, communism. The government owns it all.
