Most of the old white men who run everything are already wealthy beyond compare.

If they all resigned their power on the same day, I wonder what would happen?
 
I just can't compute only wanting more money and more power up until the day you die.
 
we you be cashing out my sick leave or should i just stop coming to work until it dwindles?
 
That could be interesting.

Think of all the doctors, dentists, civil engineers, public safety people, corporate execs, airline pilots, railroad staff, ship's captains, truck drivers ....

If every white male over age 55 suddenly stopped working, what would happen?

We’d certainly find out if “The Others” were ready to walk the walk.
 
Youth unemployment would drop, but the tax burden on the young would skyrocket.

Oi! When did 'over 55' become 'old'???

We should experiment with a role reversal, where the men stay at home as the child carer and home maker and the women go out to work every day. :eek:

Only if they are in politics and are old CEO's of corporations that are more concerned about their paycheck than the welfare of their employee's.

If you're making over 10 million dollars a year, why do you need more? You can't spend it all anyway.

More people should be like Warren Buffett, who has set it up so that his children don't get his money and that it goes to charities.

Careful. That is a very communist way of thinking.

There are two very wrong things about that statement. The first is that "need" should never be part of the discussion as to what people earn or have. That's the cornerstone of a free society. If you want it and can get it legally, have at it. Want more, fine. Knock yourself out.

The second thing wrong is that if you do bring "need" into it, who gets to determine what your needs are? In a full communist state, it is the state that gets to decide who gets what and how much. The same thing goes for the phrase "fair share."
 
Yup, and take their money with them. Should get real interesting.

They've already taken their money - that's the point. What would you prefer - that we continue to brown nose, get ripped off and still have to be grateful? Where have I heard that before?
 
Older white guys, which I am one, yeah step down let the young bucks take the reigns
