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

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:

| 2. Hmmm...maybe we could create a demand somehow...... |
|
Alternatively, we could hold really big bake sales

| 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"

| 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!!!

| 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!
