Maybe it's time to regionalize the country. Outright give the 1%ers 1% of the country, and
we'll take the other 99% of the country.

1. Which 1% would you give them?
I'd be in favor of Death Valley.

Actually, I'd like to find them a trailer park in a state with a climate that's either oppressively hot or miserably cold. And I'd take away their credit cards and other assets and give them each a double-wide, $100 in cash, a 15-year-old car, and tell them to figure out how to live.

9. What you said sounds about right, but I would include no gas with that 15-year-old car. Double
wide ... I was thinking something more like this! LOL

4. No. The 1% owns most of the country now. They shouldn't have more than
1% of it - the only question is, which 1%?

5. At least make sure they don't end up on tribal land
And speaking of, let's revert all mineral, timber, and other resource rights in the country back to the tribes. Most tribes will manage it far better than the %1 have. Plus it's simply the right thing to do.

6. How about someplace that's horribly polluted and strip-mined?
That would be fair - they caused the mess in the first place.

10. Better than the hive societies we all live in now
I'm just hoping there's never a movement to send my mostly-Euro self back to Ireland. I'm pretty sure Ireland isn't in the mood for a wave of impoverished immigrants from America. :cry:
