Question

Suppose that 19 poor men and 1 rich man are in a room. Every one of them removes all money from their pockets?

Answer 1

Then they become equal, everyone has the exact same thing as everyone else, and the economy falls because there is perfect parity.  The society dies and within a few years, so will all twenty of the people.

It's the most basic reason why communist countries and communist systems can never succeed and are all doomed to eventual failure.  Without something to work towards, to strive for, you can't have a working society.  Only by the chance to be better than the next guy through earned reward can you have a society that works.

By taking the money from the person that has earned it, you remove the symbol of success that the other nineteen have to look up to....and you penalize the hard worker by taking all that he has and placing him back in the non-successful group.  No symbol of success, no earned reward, no economy, and no society.

Answer 2

There would be enough for everybody to get by... for a moment. Because soon afterwards some would get richer and richer again.

Answer 3

then...i didnt xactly understand ur question,,

Answer 4

The rich man wont have any money in  his pocket to remove.

Answer 5

Yeah wtf dude did you have a point to make?

Answer 6

this is a great example of why you never use averages. If you count up all the money on the table and divide it amongst all 20 men you will get a fairly high average income. The truth of the mater is ,however, you have 1 man in decedant luxury and 19 struggling to pay for food,shelter, and medical expenses.

Answer 7

Yeah, that's what great about YA we have all removed the money from our pockets except people who can't afford a computer then they don't have a voice.  I think that's why some people are rude because that is the only way there is to show power here.
