You’re 100% correct. I did not use my brain regarding my answer because you most definitely did not use your brain regarding your stupid question. $100 million annual budget for a nation? Are you kidding me? I live in a town of 40,000 people that has a $100 million budget. You’re not too bright. But I digress; I’m the one who should use my brain. smh
In my country that is a fortune.

Ok you dont have to rub it in mr richy.
I’m not rich by any means, but neither are you apologetic. I actually liked your OP, that’s why I responded. Unfortunately you took it to a level it didn’t need to enter. Too bad; I respected you prior to this thread.

Anyone else?

Its interesting how some people would waste what they think of as a little amount. I think I would buy a copy of the Bible for every household. At least they would have a copy and couldnt say they dont know about God or never heard of Him. . I would make sure its bilingual too.

What? Your response speaks for yourself. Too bad for you. Yours was in jest so the response was in jest, sorry if YOU took it the wrong way.

I dont know how many Bibles that would buy but I'm sure that would cover the population in my country at least. And it has to be book form although now theres audio formats. But a book doesnt require any other device to work.

No need for you to be sorry. I enjoy learning, and I learned to no longer respond to your nonsensical threads. Life’s too short to waste precious moments.

Asked the lord and He showed me zachariah, who was a tax collector, paid back everyone who he had taken taxes fraudulently off, so what I would do if I was elected would have an amnesty for those fraudulent politicians before me who misused public money and spent it on themselves, to give it back to the public. So if they bought lots of land with their ill gotten gains or whatever they have to give it back to the people it originally belonged to or be kept as common land for future generations.

Those who kept their money back and didnt pay their taxes like they were supposed to would have to start paying and those who shouldnt have been taxed would receive tax breaks. I think more so than actual $ it would be the land that is most improtant to people and how do you place a value on that? If you had one hundred million acres would it be like $1 an acre.

After getting back all that was stolen from the treasury it would be prbably be worth billions of dollars. Then you would get your budget to spend. Plus those that stole are obligated to pay back sevenfold. Hallelujah!

Jesus told about the parable of the talents. I dont know if you all know that parable. Its in matthew 25:14-30

Maybe you only receive one talent. Do you say to God I cant do anything with just one talent?

100 mill might sound like a lot to you.
I need 7 trillion.
first a big bonus to those poor pensioners struggling on the pension. say 4 trillion. after all they worked hard to make the nation what it is today.
next an extra tax for those under 35, to pay for their retirement later. we are running out of money guys..sorry about this....
next a trillion to the racing industry so they can afford better retirements for horses.
then 2 trillion to the car industry so they can afford better retirements for old cars..... avoid the knackers yard

Not in mine, hence the level of wrongfulness in your hostile response to me.
I don't recommend taking this one seriously. That might sound harsh, but you need to protect yourself from further harm.

If its too low for you then just say what you would need and say what you would spend it on.

Cant believe some people would make a huge deal of a random figure. You'd be lucky to get ANY money if you couldnt even spend 100 million on something worthwhile.

Ok nothing for young people then, thats a bit biased but your the boss..what country are you the boss of?
When you say tax for those under 35 you mean everyone over 35 pays this tax or the under 35s pays this tax. Arent you just robbing Peter to pay Paul here. It doesnt work this way, the tax isnt kept in reserve. It needs to be spent. You cant invest it in the bank.

we weren't talking or responding about being 'president or leader of a country',
we were responding about how we could best help our community of Christians...

Oh, this member is actually quite bright. The question of course was hypothetical and did not mention the size, location and population of the country. I believe gage the responses in regards of priorities. The question, in my opinion was not stupid at all.
