Forget raising taxes...this is how you fix the $13 Trillion deficit

[OmahaBlueDog]

The richest 1%....just keep doing what you're doing.

Now if the remaining 288,888,889 of us would just each sell one kidney for $45,000 each, we've got it covered.

1. Now,

If you put that many kidneys on the market you are seriously going to depress the price structure.

We need to rethink this just a bit, but you are on the right track.....:sarcasm:

[OmahaBlueDog]

2. Hmmm...maybe we could create a demand somehow......

Alternatively, we could hold really big bake sales

[valerief]

3. Mmm, kidney pie. nt

[OmahaBlueDog]

4. Human kidney pie, no less.. very decadent

...should sell like Hell in Europe

[valerief]

8. I can see Housewives of Beverly Hills dining on it now. Between luxury shopping sprees. nt

5. The bake sale idea is good

I could make some brownies or cupcakes...

We could also think about a garage sale and maybe a used book sale.

We do need to raise money for the "Super Duper Uber Rich"

[OmahaBlueDog]

6. Dupe

No...really...dupe

[OmahaBlueDog]

7. Look, make fun of me if you will, but we can start a long list of people hurt if the tax cut expires

Sturgeon Mongers (caviar)
Lobstermen
Lexus Salesmen
Hot Tub Manufacturers
Wine Brokers
Art Dealers
Waiters at Morton's Steakhouse
Bellagio in Las Vegas
The Girl Who Sells Evening Gloves at Nieman Marcus

No...better that we should all sell kidneys!

[Sherman A1]

10. I completely agree with you

don't doubt that for a moment.

I am just concerned about the ability to sell the kidneys if the market becomes flooded with them.

This is strictly a supply & demand point of view.

:hi:

You failed to mention Yacht Manufacturers in your list!!!

[Whoa_Nelly]

9. five. words.

ice. in. a. bathtub. period.

[Hannah Bell]

11. won't work: not enough rich people to sell them to. solution: reduce taxes even more!

[OmahaBlueDog]

12. True...retail sales would skyrocket

They could buy flat screen TVs for every room of their three 6-bedroom McMansions. They might evn have that little bit extra to finally buy that helicopter.

Certainly it means they can finally buy matching earrings for the diamond encrusted collars on their Bichon Frieses.

It's all good!
