Would FDR's new deal have worked without the involvement in two wars (aka WW2)?
What money?
Is your question not in relation to the current day, but in regards to some fanfic of yours 1,000 years from now?
How do we get from the world today into this utopia?
Certainly, millions will die before it happens.

Considering earth’s current population growth is at 131.4 million per year, and the death rate is 55.3 million per year, we can strike that comment from the rhetorical question. Millions are dying no matter what.
Otherwise, so much that we think to be necessary are not. So much that we think to be important are not. We are given concepts like gender, race, nationalism, to fuel tribal conflict and dull senses, while the magician palms the coin in a slight of hand.
I keep hearing people say wealth distribution over the last decade.
I find it disturbing if by that they mean anything other than a more progressive standardized and fair tax code for large corporations and extremely wealthy individuals.
"more progressive" and "fair". Ok, start by defining fair, a term people love to throw around.

I'm going to write a bunch of shit you already know.
Fair is that every individual pay for the government to the extent that they can afford. A Filthy rich 1% can afford to pay more in taxes, and many of them pay nothing - and as they are doing everything within the law, it's ok for now. The rich pay more because the government serves them more than they do you or I.
On a legal philosophy note, law began as a way to protect private property. The very ten commandments are about criminalizing theft of property, real, chattel, or otherwise, in the eyes of God. We have seen these translated into real property law, criminal codes, family law, etc. Breaking these down, you find that these protect those who have against those who should have not.
Offering universal healthcare, for example, is an extension of this legal philosophy of protecting the property of the rich by dulling the masses with healthcare. Infrastructure jobs protect the rich by taking the serviceable males out of the criminal pool and giving them something to protect (their shitty job and income) (also, all people are criminals at the whim of the government). Expansion of government, which is done by both parties, on a basic level removes people from the unemployed and gives those otherwise virtually unemployable people a reason not to engage in crime. Those people, integrated into the system, serve as daemons to protect the wealth of those who have it, both by their function and by their illusion of purpose and self value.
The red line, the mendoza line, is whether the tax protects your property more than the government interferes with your life.
Yeah yeah. In the last 20 years or so people with dependents who make under $75k a year pay little to nothing in federal income taxes. Cool story bro.
Every time I've looked into it these people who don't register in your stats pay a higher percent of their income into other taxes like sales tax, city , state, property, automotive, gas and so on.
There's different types of wealth accumulation. You knows there's getting enough to live comfortably, enough to retire, set up your children. Then it starts becoming some sort of a contest to build a multi generational dynasty to winning the game of Monopoly and leaving everybody else with nothing.
Right after setting up your children the tax rate should start to skyrocket. I dunno if I had to guess I'd say that somewhere around 5M+ a year.
I guess it comes down to do you believe that people who have more things than you are better than you or others who have less. Because that's what your being sold. We need to keep cutting taxes on the weathly and give them more money because they're better than you. They do what's best with money and it will trickle down to you.

What was this all about? I've had time to reflect now and I still don't get it. It wasn't funny for the most part except for the sheer absurdity of it. Guess the guys made a name for himself.

This is worthless without context. Where is the chart showing what percentage these groups have in the total amount of money in the country? Whatever this chart reflects:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealt...tes#/media/File:US_Wealth_Inequality_-_v2.png
Should be included when using charts like that.
Hmm perhaps. Is there a chart that shows similar to the one I put, but from wages only? I have some feeling that the chart I posted would include investments and other things that would not apply to anything that gets taxed.
