McCain is a politician just like Obama. All of them will promise you whatever it takes to get your vote.

You are stuck in a paradigm that doesn't need to be the same. For example, if machines where able to farm without the help of people, the food will still have value. Basicly, the economy would work in a different way, one you are unable to understand.

Talo and Justice please start a new topic if you're going to go into the viablity of a robotic economy- I get the feeling thats not McCain's policy at any rate.

Its easy to say (and to mean it) that you want everybody to be rich. Now the question is, did he make some sort of absurd promise saying he would MAKE everybody rich? I hope not, that would be foolish. Most wealthy people would like more rich people out there. It means more money to spend all around, and so, more money to be made.

Now part of this is going to depend on definitions of rich, too. A great percentage of the people who live under the poverty level in this country are still rich, compared to many of those in other countries. Most of them are rich compared to people in our own country, a hundred years ago.

And then, how many of them would be fairly well off, if they weren't so danged foolish? Going back a few generations, people would scrap and save and do without, to build up their wealth. They would spend their money wisely. Their kids would work to help provide for the family, and help the entire family do better.

Now we have folks who are on welfare, who do nothing. Their kids do nothing. They don't have enough food to eat. But they have Converse tennis shoes, cell phones, and video games.

Maybe we would have more rich people, if those who were poor worked at becoming rich, rather than just trying to act rich when they aren't.

I can tell you, I would have a much better chance of being rich, instead of lower middle class, if I would just use my money more wisely, and not decide every couple of years that I need all kinds of new electronic equipment to keep up with the Joneses. Truth is, most of us have far more stuff than we need, and if we were a little wiser with our money in our early years, we could have a lot more of it (and a lot more stuff) in our later years.

But we would rather complain, and gripe, and buy what we can't afford, and put ourselves in ever greater debt, and then blame those who were wise enough to actually use their money wisely, and so really become rich.

The rich are not to blame for the poor in America. To some extent, the poor are. The rest of it is just the reality of how the universe works.

Both are desires, and neither are possiblilities now. A few years or decades into the future, who knows? Exploring the galaxy is more likely, simply because it doesn't require as much change in a good portion of humanity to allow it to happen, it only requires learning and developing more.

As long as we, as humans, keep holding ourselves back, and whine about those who do better, instead of becoming more like them, the everyone is rich part won't happen.

Being RICH isn’t all about money. I have an awesome job, make (*)(*)(*)(*) good money. I have a great wife, and great son, who both love me, but would take that to any amount of money.

As long as everyone is happy, everyone would be RICH.

I agree I want everyone to be rich, I doesn,t mean I wan't everyone to have
unlimited money. Enjoy your life it is short.

Well, that's all very pretty, but don't forget that in Mr. McCain's rarefied richy world, you don't qualify for membership unless/until you make at least $5 million a year.

Korse not. I beleve MacCains plan involves everyone signing up for Amway, that wey we all will git rich selling each other toilet paper and cleaning sprey.

You libtards just dont unurstand how economonics werk!!!!
