It's even worse. I think we should all get paid the same too.

Is that because you want mass scale starvation, roving death squads, violent unrest, and a total break down of society plunging us back into the dark ages?

Should a high risk profession such as an oil rigger be paid the same as a wal Mart greeter?

 

Should a doctor be paid as much as a burger flipper?

 

Should a fire fighter be paid as much as a Hollywood celebrity?

 

Should Cardale Jones be paid as much as LeBron James?

From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.

 

When you think about it, it's the essence of the DC-Tom-bot.

Also, do we all need to sell everything we own and re-divvy up those dollars as well?

 

Yearly salary = (Total gross yearly income for America - taxes)/ # people in America?

 

Are we going to limit it to citizens, or can the illegal aliens get in on this too?

 

Will we all have to donate the same amount to charities? Or since we're now all equal will we no longer need charities?

 

This idea is fantastic, well that's what I told my 7 year old when she suggested it.

Hiliary Clinton has more expensive needs than a school teacher or fire fighter so it's only fair she get more, amirite?

I'm curious why the poster believes anyone doing difficult, high stress, or physically demanding jobs would continue to do them?

 

I have made more sacrifices than I can count, working an absurd amount of hours, in order to get into the position that I hold. In the environment he describes, I wouldn't have done any of it. I'd be content to work what today would be described as a minimum wage job, and earn the exact same as everyone else with no meaningful reason to set myself apart.

 

Aside from being incredibly immoral, the system described is absolutely unworkable, as those who do and create stop doing and creating.

Because the kulaks never suffered under collectivization.
