‘Massive Wealth Destruction’ Coming, Well-to-Do ‘May Lose 50%’
Faber stated, “I think somewhere down the line we will have a massive wealth destruction. That usually happens either through very high inflation or through social unrest or through war or credit-market collapse.”
“I would say that well-to-do people may lose up to 50 percent of their total wealth.”

Doesn't sound like a fear mongering site at all.

Been there, done that.
Us Canuckians pay almost 50% tax if we do well. Doesn't make sense to do well. Wonder if that's by design, too.

Faber points out that this bleak outlook for the United States has been caused by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve’s continuous printing of new money.
He says that the bailout and money printing will not create any long-lasting wealth or create healthy growth, and that the collapse will come on Bernanke’s watch.

We can only hope that 100% of wealth is destroyed and the government finally has to get rid of the concept of currency- and wealth. Wealth is a made up concept directly tied to currency

OK, I give up. You tell me. If one guy has a steak and another guy wants it but only has a loaf of bread and the guy with the steak doesn't want bread, how does the transaction occur?

RE: ‘Massive Wealth Destruction’ Coming, Well-to-Do ‘May Lose 50%’
I wonder if:
(1) anyone on this board is concerned with that prediction;
(2) if so, if they are doing anything about it; and
(3) what it is they might be doing.

Unlikely KK has the balls for that.
I reckon he'd be one sad little bread munching f*cker.

I think you miss the point. Im not talking about using barter. That is basically the same as money.
Think about a small town of 21,000 people as one big company, to say it in capitalist terms. The basic work that has to be done to keep the place running is done, but thats a very minimal work. Nobody gets paid, but everybody gets what they need in exchange, food, clothing, etc. You might say nobody will do the work, but i think the work is minimal enough where you'll hardly even notice it. Most of the work thats being done now is in direct support of the monetary system. For a more advanced version, see the Venus project

OK, so full retard communism then is your answer.
Mao tried that during the Great Leap and starved millions of people to death.
And if you say "yeah, but he still used money" or "they weren't REAL communists" you're an even bigger idiot than I figure.
One day, when you have to shave, you're going to feel ashamed by this shit, I know because I've spouted it myself.
