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

[Wizzeh]

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.

It's not like I enjoy taking people's money. Unfortunately I think it's necessary.

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

Matrix-ish, everyone's bodies are used for batteries. Except instead of a huge computer program, they are all just pumped with opium.

Everyone is happy and useful.

Or

Matrix-ish, everyone's bodies are used for batteries. Except instead of a combined computer program, they all have individual ones where they essentially have "God-Mode" enabled.

Everyone is Free, slightly happy, and useful.

Did you forget the part in the Matrix about the evil robot overlords?

1. We wouldn't have those.
2. Even if we did. No one would know so who cares?

Here's the thing with society;

It does not loving matter if you like it. People need to realize that we need to do what we need to do regardless of how much you like it. Sacrifices have to be made or we might as well all be living in dirt houses.

America has never valued responsibility; American culture has never been interested in promoting it. We have this mindset to make as much as we can as quickly as we can because that's what we have been taught. I have reached the conclusion that our society would collapse very quickly if it were as free as you desire.

Well, sometimes you have to be responsible. Sometimes, sacrifices have to be made, and sometimes those in a position to make those sacrifices have to accept this.

This is not entirely true.


Edit: also what the forget is with this poll

Brilliantly worded RKY, what I was trying to convey.

Essentially the world economy would take a dive deeper then the last recession and... yep. We'd all be screwed.

the rich are who invest in industry and create innovation. thats where jobs come from.

its easy to hate them when you dont have money, but we need both peoples.

I hate politicians. Government positions should be part-time and unpaid. Money should not be a factor in running for any office.

Responsibility is taking care of yourself and things you control. Not giving up your money to people who hate you for having it.

It's not irresponsible to hold on to your money. It's irresponsible to demand bail-outs from the people with it.

(I realize that big companies demand bail-outs too)
