Thread Name: BS: Poverty in the USA
Subject: RE: BS: Poverty in the USA
Yeah, if the per capita is $33,000 then this is enough dough per capita to get started... This doesn't mean that everyone get's $33K, only that if that is the figure then collectively we have enought wealth to pull it off...

I still dought this is the figure...

I think what one needs to do is take:

1. The GNP

plus 2. Collective wealth and...

...add those 2 mubers up... You know, kinda like doing a financail staement... That would better represtent the national wealth...

Now divide by 300M people and that would provide a more realistic number which we could talk about... I believe that amount might be at least 3 times and probably more like 10 times the $33K per capita...

That is the real way of looking as reditribution of wealth...
