There Should Be A Three Million Dollar Cap On The Amount Of Money People Can Have At One Time

We should put a cap on everything

1 man should not be able to have sex with more than 10 women in his life
1 person should not be able to have more than 100 Youtube subscribers
1 music act should not be able to sell more than 500,000 records

God forbid someone achieve more than the average person and end up making someone else feel bad

Matter fact everyone should have the same money, same house, same car, same number of friends, etc. etc., we can't have anyone feeling like they have less than somebody else

Thats def a world I want to live in.

Plus putting a cap on wealth will definitely solve all the problems the poor/middle class are facing. We all know the govt is great at using tax money efficiently and for the good of the average person, so if they took the billions of dollars away from people that would be necessary to carry this thing out they def wouldn't spend the money on the military or pass-through welfare programs that put money back in the hands of the rich under the auspice of "helping" the poor

This is a great idea created by a solid understanding of human behavior and macroeconomics

Kinda sounds like socialism, brehs
Stop counting other people's money and get your own

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Who said anybody is going to play fair to seize their assets? Those riches aren't going to stop the majority from cutting them off from power if it came down to that. Of course this is some "if" level situation we're talking


As far as all that other stuff goes, you're leaving out alot of diffetent variables like: who said it would be 20 an hour, where are those billions of dollars going to go that got taken from the 1/5/10%, what do we do with charity money now, how much do things cost now, ecetera

how you gonna get the money breh???

warren buffet, bill gates, the fukking nba... how you gonna enact this law, and think they aren't gonna have their BILLIONS of dollars transfered to another country... along with their citizenship

let me put it to you this way... you got 20 billion dollars... the govt even pretends to introduce this idea.... how long you risking 19.7 billion dollars by keeping it in the US, while they decide to change this law or not



and you said 20 an hour... "what about burger king in denmark" what you gonna put it at 30 an hour?? 15 an hour you'd never make 3 million before death... 30 an hour and we'd be paying 20 dollars for a whopper meal

actually the "minimum wage" sports athelete brings in little to no revenue at all and still rakes in $300,00-2 million a year depending on the sport.. Theres bench players on certain teams that wont sell a single jersey but still making more money in a year than you will in 10.

Another thing is for certain sales reps for companies like Verizon, AT&T or even personal bankers or car sales people, bringing in more profit + revenue than 90% of athletes playing today outside the obvious Lebrons, Kobes, etc.

For instance when I worked at AT&T and Verizon I was bringing in millions of dollars of revenue a year, millions of profit over the course of the years I worked there rolling over with contracts. Even someone as popular as say Frank Gore for the 49ers I doubt has generated as much revenue / profit as I did working for those companies.

to put things in perspective I was doing around 100-200 contracts a month working for them. Sometimes even more. Even at average price of $100 a contract (low ball, since everyone has multiple devices + family plan now) thats still $20,000 a month in revenue. Of course 12 months a year, brings to a LOW BALL # of $3.6 million in revenue in Verizon/AT&T contract sales a year. Each plan is 2 years of course, so 7.2 million for the contracts (low ball #'s). Again this doesnt count the 4-7 accessories I average per sale (where majority of the profit is made. We got the chargers for $1 a piece at most and sold them for $20-30 a piece). Doesn't include services I sold like U-Verse or Tablets, etc.

just off CELL PHONE contracts I was doing AT WORST $3.6 million in revenue a year at AT&T or Verizon. AT WORST.

Do you think Carlos Hyde has brought in 3.6 million revenue to the 49ers this year?
Do you think Carlos Boozer jersey sales will amount to 3.6 million this year?
Do you think Steve Blake will bring in 3.6 million worth of ticket sales this year ?

of fukking course not.

Yet Carlos Boozer will make $14 million this year. More money in 1 year then I will probably see in my entire life.

Yet my work brought in more money than Carlos Boozer.

If you dont see something horribly wrong with that, then fukk you and everyone else with your kind of thinking.

NOBODY playing sports deserves that much. NOBODY.

Not the owners, not no one.

Top end athletes should make $1-2 million a year, owners not much more than that, everyone else $50-100k a year and the rest of the proceeds should go to making the world a better place (if this was a perfect world, but its not, so it wont happen).

Yall love sucking these athletes dikks, man no one deserves millions to play a sport, ive never heard anyone over the age of 25 ever disagree unless they a bummy mafukka anyway

we want to fix the world, but no one wants to spend the actual money to fix it.

Kevin Garnett made $330 million a year shooting a cot damn basketball in a cotdamn hoop. Trouts gonna get a $300 million contract for hitting a cot damn baseball. NO ONE deserves that kind of money for sports. NO ONE. Theres no rational way to explain it.

$330 million !! That could save entire countries ! But ONE person has amassed that bringing NOTHING to the table of life outside of entertainment NO DIFFERENT than we could create ourselves at our local gym

Revenue? A lot of people bring in a lot of revenue to their jobs, yet making $60k a year at best. Its not a valid excuse and never will be. Stop caping for these garbage ass sports owners and players

some of the posts in here is why the world will always be a fukked place

Tf nikka. All players get paid even bench players because it's a sport that requires certain positions to be the field/ court even if they aren't a bog name they are need to make the sport work still so wtf are you talking about lol. My point remains correct.

 

[WheresWallace]

I had this thought too...but at the same time I feel like if you worked for your money you deserve to have it


I don't think Athletes should be getting paid as much as they do tho. Football is a grueling sport, so their pay is somewhat justified. But 16-17 mil a year to play basketball/baseball

1. You ever go through a professional basketball practice?
2. You ever play back to back nights against top level athletes in spite of your fatigue?
3. You ever play through an injury?
4. You ever have a sport related injury that required surgery and months of rehab?
   
5. You ever have your personal life in public display and scrutinized by the media everyday?
6. You eve see how much an athlete's paycheck is taxed?
7. You ever notice that athletes pay taxes for EVERY city they play in on the road?
   
8. You ever compare an athletes salary to a Team Owner, GM, or Coach salary?

If you can't answer "Yes" to at least 3 of these questions then how can you say Athlete's are over paid?

Only made it to page 2 before I had to tap out, you nikkas are fuccin idiots, sticc to your pawg threads

Great job at explaining for me how a lawyer would be able to keep their job for a while if they were passionate though as well, just goes to show that this idea could easily work for all facets.

Nothing's been explained.

How is a lawyer that has to quit going to continue practicing if he's no longer making money?

How's a doctor going to keep practicing if they have to continue paying for supplies, med mal insurance, training?

More like, you are 100% not worthy of having that hughey freeman avatar with this statement. Lmao

I'd say a billion should be the cap.

Stop worrying about the next man's pockets.... the next man being rich doesnt stop you from getting yours and jealousy has never led to anything productive

Actually, it does. In a society based on Capital accumulation, everyone can't be a millionaire and money increasingly accumulates at the top, leaving less and less wealth and opportunity for the rest. You don't have to read Picketty to understand that. The elites just created a clever narrative that makes inequality the fault of the poor and not of unfair distribution of opportunity and the greed of the rich.

Trillions of dollars are created and destroyed every day. Rich people are eroding the wealth of the middle class but they are not doing it by hoarding cash. I.e. someone having a million dollars does not prevent someone else from getting a million dollars. There is no fixed amount of cash in the system, that is how fiat currency, which is what our monetary system is, works.

I didn't say they are doing it by hording Cash. Still, In our system, not everyone can be a millionaire. The current unequal Distribution of wealth redistribute wealth from the bottom to an increasingly smaller top. So yes, if i'm not born as a trust fund baby, somebody elses pockets do indeed reflect on my income. Arguing against more equality in society by telling people to stop being concerned with other people pockets is about the stupidest Argument you can make.
