i'm interested in seeing how this develops. if it gets bad enough, maybe other cities can transport their criminals in. ideally, it would have the same effect as taking one colony of ants and putting them close to another. just sit back and see which side ends up annihilated. i would hate to be living there and NOT be a crook, though.

i was going to suggest George Carlin's plan for the square states, but yeah, same basic principle. put it on tv, they'll go nuts for it. just one step away from the running man or session 7: the contenders.

I have nothing to contribute to this other than a  .
I see this is a result of the two sides not being able to come to an agreement on the budget. Maybe the ensuing chaos will convince the Dems and Reps to take up the ass for the greater good.

or maybe it'll inspire the people to get up off of their asses and reject the two party structure that's constantly thrown in their face when really, there aren't many differences between the two. a pipe dream, I know

I think the only way things are gonna get better in this country is if we randomly assassinate someone in the upper 1% (edit: with a high number of white collar convictions) and distribute his wealth equally among the people. It will be like Reaganomics, only instead of a trickle-down effect, it will be a waterfall effect. And the waterfall will be composed of blood and 100 dollar bills.
Thinking of this reminds me of how the WWF rained down 100 dollar bills as the conclusion Ted Dibiase's induction ceremony.

Yes because Warren Buffett and Bill Gates come to the sydlexia forum for daily entertainment and news updates. Even if they did, is Gates even in the upper 1%?

not personally, but they have people that do, im sure. syd's grasp is like that of the kraken. and Gates is still considered the world's second wealthiest man with a net worth of around 53 billion.

But isn't it easier to deny one guy than it is sixteen?
Also, I think I'm much lower on his list compared to Buffalo Beast: From 2006's 50 most loathsome Americans
"43. Bill Gates
Charges: Became the richest man in the world through intellectual thievery, stealing Windows and every other software package he ever made a billion on. Microsoft’s internal slogan with regard to competitors is “embrace, extend, and exterminate.” As founder and co-chair of The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, he’s fighting global poverty and disease by investing in corporations that are the source of global poverty and disease. According to the L.A. Times, The BMGF has over $9 billion invested in companies whose activities contradict the foundation’s stated mission.
Exhibit A: So cheap he downloads pirated movies and still won’t pay for a decent haircut.
Sentence: Spanked in the Mall of America food court by Steve Jobs and the guys from Netscape."

Yikes. Living as close as I do to St. Louis, I have to say this might well be their worst idea ever.
... Scratch that. This IS the worst idea they've ever had.
Maybe the government could work on this and turn that part of St. Louis into the colonial Australia of America?

What East St. Louis needs is a privatized, for-profit police force run by one of the global leaders in technological innovations. East St. Louis needs to be placed in the loving care of Omni Consumer Products.

I've never understood something. Exactly what was that guy buying (or would be willing to buy) for a dollar?

Being as he was flanked by whores, I imagine whores. It doesn't really matter. It was basically making fun of sitcom catchphrases.

Yeah, if yuo were to kill someone with $40 billion, that'd translate to $130 for every man, woman, and child in America. That'd fix EVERYTHING.

The problem is that people don't want to pay taxes at the local level, because the taxes are too high at the state and the federal level. Thus, teachers, police, and firefighters are always fighting to earn a living wage.
Ideally, this how taxes should work:
Federal - 5%
State - 10%
Town - 15%
