I don’t have sites to confer this but I’m pretty sure thats wrong horten…i also heard that some ridiculously small number like 1-2% owns like 80-90% of wealth…
"i also heard that some ridiculously small number like 1-2% owns like 80-90% of wealth…. "
you heard that, but did you check the census? I just recently read the number 49.1% of america’s wealth is held by the top 20% in a history textbook. It isn’t 1%…I guarentee you. We aren’t Kuwait.
that number is for the entire world ware 1% of the population owns 90% of the wealth
thank you btownthug for soporting me in this discution.
it’s my understanding as one that watches both canadian and amarican news that almost all amarican news, media, school curiculim and public information is distorted in one way or anouther to show amaricans as supperior.
I will not kill myself for that Bohemion Cpl.

Actually Horten, your wrong. As of Bush working up his Tax cut, I remember him saying “In the US, the top 10 percent of earners make 70% of the wealth, shouldn’t they get paid a bit more?”
and that does with the distribution of wealth how???
oh, here’s a very straight forwar link:
http://www.census.gov/population/www/pop-profile/moninc.html
and some more statistics:
Money spent on social programs in 1950…25 billion
1960…50 billion
1970…150 billion
1980…500 billion
1990…1.1 trillion
1992…1.25 trillion
My ideal government would be simaliar to the way it is now( that being the Canadian government) with a few exceptions. Frist, i would increase military spending. I would give the armed forces pay raises and increase training. Give them modern equipment instead of using sh*t from the 1950s’!
The RCMP and city Police would have more authority to enforce and discipline criminals. If you attack cops or put innocent people in danger, sorry, your rights are forfeit.
Training standars would be higher aswell, no more of this ,lets get every culture we can into law enforcment just to satisfy some fluffy government equal rights agenda. If you dont have the stuff, then you dont get the job. I’ve seen female cops under 5 feet! i mean….come on! The idea is to protect society! You need a intimidation factor out there, Like a hockey goon.
Bring on the death penalty as well. Enough wasting tax money on reforming Criminals.( im speaking about major crimes here not theft or hooking)
does that acount for the changing value of money?
for inflation? no…if you read the numbers, there is an increase, I believe slightly above inflation.

I suggest you visit the department of defense’s website http://www.dnd.ca/eng/index.html and see how well equiped our military is. The equipment is quite modern and the military is in the process of improving it even more with the recent stability of budgets. We hardly have a dilema with outdated materiel.

yea horten would have to be correct on that one….it doesn’t save money to kill people, it saves money to leave them in prison their whole lives…why don’t we try rehabilitating them?
you can’t though.
isn’t ironic that there is life impressement? (spelling!) If they are in there for life, then why are we rehabilitating them?
Bring back the chain gangs!

Bossk, do you read the paper? The Canadian mititary is,as of today, grossly underfunded and poorly equipped.
Do you see the uniforms their wearing in Afghanistan. That right there tells you the Canadian Army is seriously neglected by our ridiculous federal government.

Mr. Goul, are you suggesting that the department of national defence is attempting to misguide me? Perhaps I trust the military too much, but why would they attempt that?
i think are miliatary is just small.
yes were a little porly equiped and we don’t hava as many nice toys as the us does.
but i’d prefer our small well trianed army over the over budgited armarican one.
how about this analagy (amaricans don’t take this the wrong way)
whould you rather have an army of weeklings or a band of superheros?
I heard B.C. is changing age to 21 from 19….that way none of my friends and I can go get plastered next year :sad: :sad: :sad:

what argument, your inflation thing? Your 1% statistic? I shown you proof of my point of view, now you find some evidence or shut up.
"it’s my understanding as one that watches both canadian and amarican news that almost all amarican news, media, school curiculim and public information is distorted in one way or anouther to show amaricans as supperior. "
This made me chuckle a bit. A lot of americans are very stupid and short sided. They don’t care for world events, and they only find time to know about them watching the 6 o’clock news. And Americans can never make up their mind. One second they support israe;, then palestine…the media plays around with their heads, first under-reporting the details of the peace agreement Barak was trying to make, than over-playing the involvement of Sharron’s visit to the temple mount, and totally neglecting that the second intifada had already begun.
I feel poor for Yanny, but where I learn, the teachers are afraid of giving their opinion on anything (unless it happens to be very liberal.) Teachers are forced to say “African American”, and be very PC.
Canada and Europe’s media are just as if not more distorted than America’s. I always sense an air of superiority from what some think is additional knowledge that others haven’t [got], and all they have to say is baseless propaganda.
I’m opposed to all slants. I hate it when people don’t see their own.
