What could happen if the Debt Ceiling doesn't get a plan. (NEW POLL UPDATED)

[Wizzeh]

Yeah, but someone's going to get hurt either way and I'd rather give the rich one less private jet than leave people to starve.

In a good society people won't starve if they decide to work.

[Qwepir]

The rich deserve to get richer.

LOL

...are you handicapped? Would you rather have a society where everyone but the rich ruling class worked in factories. Everyone would be able to sustain themselves but it would be a stuffty society.

[Doomonkey]

LOL

Please read the revision on that statement directly afterward.

Here in America, you can work and still starve.
Plenty of people who work are still below the poverty line.

When did I mention factories?

I'd love that too but professors don't get paid stuff and academia is a hard path.

[Qwepir]

[Doomonkey]

Idk. Coming up with a perfect society that is actually plausible is hard.

Maybe taking money from rich people is a good idea. But I still don't like it.

[Tingalz]

sorry the way humans are hardwired prevents a utopia from being possible

[deadpossom]

I don't think anything will happen. This has been threatened before.
