Default If we go AC who gets the governments stuff?

How is it decided who gets ownership of all the stuff the government currently owns? (roads, buildings,nukes,tanks etc, etc.)

To me it would seem like it would have to be broken down in some sort of percentage bases on lifelong taxes paid but in that case it would be kind unsettling for random corporations to get handed nukes b/c they paid for them in taxes.

A better question - when hell freezes over, who will shovel the sidewalks there?

Good point. You can't have anyone slipping on the sidewalks in Hell; that place has got to be absolutely brimming with lawyers.

It seems most likely that large amounts of government property would be sold off to pay creditors of the gov.

If the Phillies cut Ryan Howard and released him from his contract tomorrow, which team would get him?

I think the capitalist theory would demand it being sold to whoever would pay the most..... so if Osama forks up the right cash (lets assume he does a little "fundraising") you really have no qualms of letting him buy a couple nukes?

What if the US went AC and a group of other governments/rich families/etc. forked up the cash to buy the US military equipment, sent over an army and then just imposed their government on the newly AC area and pillaged our resources with our own military?

What if a huge group of devoted Anti-ACists buy up the roads and allow no one to travel on them just to make the AC society fail?

I know these are pretty crazy what ifs but dont you think having the infrastructure of a world power auctioned off could be dangerous?
