So, kill all poor people in the ghettos? And kill all poor people even the one's in the country living in trailers?

Stop with the stupid threads.

If by "annihilated" you mean they just dissapear like they were never there before ten yeah that would be nice, but if you mean we go and kill all the poor people and buldoze their homes then no I'm not for genocide.

i'd prefer something like solitary confinement for career idiots. People who go in and out of jail for 30 years should be simply locked in a 3x4 chamber for eternity since they have proven to be incapable of living in society.

But eventually, people who make a mere $300k/yr would become poor, and their unsightly 5000sq ft houses (don't know if that's even close to accurate for that income level) would be horrid ghettos for the super-rich.
I suppose it's time to erase them from time as well.

"undocumented workers"

They're the solution to all labor problems.

Where do you think undocumented workers live? Probably in the "ghetto".

Who is going to determine where the ghetto begins and ends? Guess we could move all the poor to the land of milk and honey - problem solved.

Not looking at this from an ethical perspective, but, I think if you refined your question to say that you only want to annihilate homeless people....

lol, just playing devil's advocate here

#1 economically speaking if we removed all homeless/unemployed people or a good portion of them, it would likely result in vaulting our employment rate to unprecedented levels and it would also relieve a huge tax burden off of area of law enforcement, education, and social benefits like medicare, etc. It could also revive certain areas of downtown districts and bring new life to cities.

What are the negatives? Well not from an ethical standpoint, I can't think of much....

Probably just the cost of annihilating them would be expensive in its own, you would have to dispose of the bodies and also the cost of how you kill them. Edge blades would be most efficient, anything more then that would cost too much initially and it would take years to see the payback.


This won't remove crime or trailer parks though, since those people still contribute to society

I often tear them down in SimCity to make way for facilities which my rich residents would enjoy.
