Oh. We already did that, huh?

Well, maybe we could give everyone in the top 10th of 1% a thousand serfs of their own. They could use the serfs for whatever they want--servants, farm laborers, chicken packing plant workers, organ donors, etc. That will not only help a lot with the population problem, but put a whole lot of Americans to work.

3. What you describe is what's happening, slowly but in that general direction...
Time to turn it around.

6. I've got a better idea
Let's round up that tenth of a percent, send 'em to Zimbabwe (where the economy they are working so hard to create already exists), and take all their stuff
