That seems more than fair.

Yeah, that kind of thinking worked out so well for the south 150 years ago.

I'll take Charles Barkley and Ben Carson , and you can have Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakhan .

It will work perfectly.

You knw, maybe we should go for it. Here, look at this wealth distribution pie.

This shows the top 20% owned 85% of everything, with 80% of the people sharing the remaining 15%. This is in 2007, BTW, I expect the top quintile share has gone up significantly since then.

But Zero is offering us 50%. I have to call that unexpectedly generous.

Yes , I am. It is worth it to be rid of you.

Besides, in ten years you would have it looking like Haiti .

Weak but thanks for the chuckle and the effort Zero.

If it makes you feel any better I saw a Carson in '16 bumper sticker on a new Audi SUV out here in SoCal the other day.

Haiti? Good Gawd almighty

Well, let's see--how shall we organize our half? Some form of anarcho-syndacalism, perhaps?

(This is where Zero wins the thought experiment. The left would argue about this for three years or so, and then some modern Bolsheviks would shoot their way to totalitarian power.)

Yeah, he is a smart guy. But ,he is going to have to work on the charisma.

Sort of opposite of Obama.

I'm curious as to how he's going to win over the bubba vote in the Red states to win the 'pubbie nomination?

(Not that it really matters due to the Electoral College).

Same way Tim Scott won S.C.

I would have voted for Colin Powell at one time. Not now.
