Don't say that it wouldn't be fair because there would be lazzy people that would't hold up there own; because, we have that now, and they're getting paid the big bucks for doing nothing. Most of them are government employees that don't spend more than 3 hours working, 3 times a week.
Sounds like communism, no because we would all be financially equal not just the gerneral public.
Scientist wouldn't want to do their job. That's fine, there are plenty of other things for them to do.
Everyone will have their fair share of shuvelling sh*t, so that no one's life will stink all the time.

A lot of problems in our society would cease to exist if everyone was financially equal.

It'd last about 2 seconds because financial equality would depend on everything else's being equal: talent, ability, luck, opportunities, etc.
And that's never going to happen.
We all may be "created equal" in the eyes of God, but on this Earth, in the immortal words of George Orwell:
"Some are more equal than others."

In a way, this would be a good solution to the problems of capitalism. There wouldn't be homeless people dying on the streets of hunger while billionaire celebrities spend tons of cash on diamonds and dozens of expensive cars and making their mansions bigger. Communism obviously has its flaws, but this system has failed as well. We need to work on creating a Utopian society, as it will end homelessness, starvation, etc. Something has to be done.

we will never reach that point, it is human nature to want to have more than the next guy...Even under communism the USSR had one of the biggest underground crime worlds on the globe. They figured out a way to smuggle vodka INTO the USSR and have it cheaper. If everyone was financially equal I would be beating the hell out of lazy motherfuckers and taking what they owe me.

communism is setting prices equal, not income.
Total equality would involve no jobs, since there would be no incentive. We would revert to hunter gatherers, working in a community doing just what we need to do to get by.
Incentive would be gone and world would not be worth living.

women, the world over, have aspired to be just that. However we are speaking about equal pay for equal work, rightfully eliminating communists, lazy bones, ignorant hanger-ons and wanna-bes without know-how.

then there would be reasons for ppl to not motivated and that's just plain dumb b/c some jobs are harder than others, the problem isn't that they should be equal the ppl who don't do anything worth that much should get paid less.

Within a week, the same dumba** losers would be back on the streetcorners holding "Will Work for Food" signs.
