I'd like to buy un-pasturized milk, but that's as illegal as pot.
In Colorado, it is MORE illegal than pot.
Obviously you don't know what is best for you. Thankfully we have rules and regulations written by those smarter than the average peasants to guide us on the proper way to go about our lives.
Why do people always feel like it's the job of the rich to help the poor? Why don't these people ever ask why the poor won't or can't help themselves?
Poor people are always know it alls about something they don't have. If you try to help them with knowledge they'll either ignore you, attack you or give 101 excuses as why they can't do that but they want to tell successful people how to handle their money...
The liberal's answer to all is to take from those who have and give to those who have not. Especially if they can exclude themselves from the giving part. Liberals don't like the concept of personal accountability for those who are chronic screw ups.. Its always easier to just take from successful people and to reward the ones who refuse to do for themselves.
Let's get this strait .
you live in a country that provides you with an education paid for by every one else and then complain about poverty, and want the rich to give up their hard earned money all the more.
Many men have made something of them self not even having a collage education.
Stop making excuses, and casting blame, and take responsibility for your self as an example to those behind you.
Because if your example is leading others to further poverty and dependency on the government ,your part of the problem not part of the solution.
There are a handful of people who have enough wealth to end the poverty and suffering of everybody on this entire Earth. That's no exageration.
I'm not talking about people with a couple hundred thousand, or even a couple million dollars.
I'm talking about people with hundreds of millions of dollars or even billions.
Is there any reason why one individual should have a billion dollars?
The whole "trickle down" theory is obviously NOT working as it's supposed to. The wealth trickles down at a drip and a flood is needed.
Many of these ultra-rich people do not even operates businesses and pay employees. They simply move investments around and hoard the money.
I think something needs to be done about this. What do you think? This has been getting more and more out of control in recent years.
This is such worthless baloney.
Face it, what you really want is something for nothing without having to work for it and redistribution in your mind is your answer in getting something for nothing.
The current population of the United States is 318.9 million.
Why don't we do what liberals would love to do and that's execute the ten richest men, Soviet style, and redistribute the money back to everyone like you and me?
By doing this you and I would each receive $1,444.02 which I am sure would solve all your money problems, wouldn't it?
But Comrade, why stop with the ten richest billionaires in America when we can go for the Combined Wealth Of All 1,426 Billionaires in the world?
For the 27th annual Forbes billionaires list, our team of reporters spent months tracking down the wealthiest people around the globe. We looked at public companies and hidden fortunes, as well as a host of other luxury assets to compile the authoritative account of the rich in 2013 (read more about our methodology here). Ultimately, we found 1,426 billionaires who are together worth a total of $5.4 trillion — a record sum.
Comrade, all the worlds problems are solved!
If only we take all the money all the billionaires in the world have and redistribute it to all 7 billion worldwide inhabitants each of us would receive the staggering sum of $771.42 and with that all the worlds problems would be solved!
//Sarcasm off
I often see this type of redistribution tripe spewed forth by one of two types of people.
Type I is politicians trying to get elected.
Type II are losers that are failures in life only because they are failures. Fact is if I gave you a Type II $771.42 today, or even $1,444.02, they would be just as broke and failed six months from now as they are today.
So instead of spewing forth tripe I would suggest you crunch some real numbers for a change.... unless you're a democrat politician then I would say carry on.

The root cause of poverty in most countries is bad government. Fix that and poverty tends to go away.
Stealing money from people that have a lot of money solves nothing. What will you do when there is no more money to steal? Besides, stealing private wealth is bad government. You'd only be perpetuating the root cause.

Comrade, I have the solution to world wide poverty!
The solution is simple, execute and confiscate all the wealth of millionaires and billionaires in the world and redistribute the money to the Peoples!
Total millionaires in the world: 12 million millionaires (World Wealth Report 2013)
Total wealth of all millionaires (excluding the billionaires): $46.2 trillion, over 3 times US GDP
Total billionaires in the world: 1426
Total wealth of all billionaires: $5.43 trillion
Total wealth of all millionaires and billionaires is $51.63 trillion dollars.
By redistributing all these wealth to the 7 billion Peoples of the world who really deserve it each person will receive their rightful $7,375.71 which will bring heaven upon earth!
Just think of it, mighty comrade, with this money you can purchase a..... well.... .used Volkswagen!
Since liberals are outraged over this, take the money from the liberals to solve the problem.
Leave everyone else alone.
