Redistribution of assets

Non-involvement.

"Thou shalt not steal". Give it back to whomever it belongs to.

 

Government funds itself through taxes. These taxes should go only to fund the costs of government. The government should not use tax money for welfare, health care, etc. That should all be privatized, and those private institutions should run on donations and have very stringent requirements for (even interest free) loans, such as mandatory monthly drug testing, etc.

In my opinion, unemployment should not be paid out to anyone. The economy isn't great right now, but everyone can work two full-time jobs at a fast food place like many have done in the past. Right now, I know of soldiers who got out of the military and are sitting at home pulling unemployment simply because they can. (I believe they are eligible to receive it for a year, no questions asked.)

Now, with all that being said, the problem is the only people who will donate to these institutions (as a general rule) are people looking for a tax break. With enough money in the bank, an institution would be self sustaining (due to loan paybacks and investments), but it would be hard to get an institution to that point. So my idea wouldn't work, simply because of the selfishness of man.

 

Uh, no....the premise of the op is flawed and without facts.

 

Not welfare, social security, medicaid, or health care.

 

Your over simplification of the matter misrepresents what goes on. It is not redistribution of wealth until you get to unconstitutional entitlement programs.

 

When I took accounting in college, I saw the government list of accounts. It was a DE system.

However, as far as I know, the government does not do an annual statement of net worth which would include non-cash assets and liabilities. And a budget is not an accounting system, but is a form of a report on cash flows.

 

No they haven't. And just because someone in government says they intend to obey the Constitution dies not mean that is their real intention.

 

No problem. Believe it or not, accounting was once an obsession of mine. People thought I was weird because I loved the science of accountancy. Double Entry is one of the greatest inventions of history. It reflects the true nature of economic activity: any action causes an equal reaction. But then I became obsessed with theology, and have remained with that obsession for quite a while now. Music, Math, Accounting, Biblical Theology; these have been my obsessions in chronological order.

And along that line I had once determined to become expert in Government accounts so I could report their shenanigans to the world. I quickly learned that the Federal Government Accounts are so numerous and interwoven that only a team of professionals could understand them.

 

Mr. Obama should be given all funds and allow him to distribute at his will, can't you see that this is the only way? We all know now that 80% of people want higher taxes. This means 80% of America want the Pres. to control their lives--all we need to do is sit back and ride the tide, don't worry be happy.

 

80%-according to BO. Interesting that his approval polls, according to Gallup, say 42%. If he was telling the truth about the desire for higher taxes, his approval rating should also be higher.

I wonder without all the Obama swooning lefties will Barry stand a chance in 2012. He truly rode a tide of "Hope & Change" that many liberals and some conservatives bought into. I don't see that tide anymore. People aren't goo goo gaa gaa over him anymore, except Chris Matthews.
