I hate to break it to you but the whole "tax the rich" thing is what the rich want you debating... why? Cause you can tax them all you want, but when our budget is 60% military they will still get rich and we will go in debt no matter how much you tax them.

Ya know what the rich really dont want? You fighting to get the military budget slashed in half leaving more than enough money to cut taxes for everyone (including the rich)... but noooo, any solution that saves everyone money, including the rich, is one that will never be supported.

So many people just get spoon fed a narrative and then its law.

@freemo

taxing the rich is about reducing their political power, not the government revenue. we must also slash military spending. and provide universal health care.

@wjmaggos I am all for making sure money isnt able to influence political power... but going about that by taking away people with money is a really self-destructive tactic.

@freemo

I also want to decentralize all media and get rid of advertising and pass political reforms, but a person with a $1b is going to have a lot of power when most don't have $1m. I'm for taking the money away, not the people. I'd rather we have such a competitive market that no company or person ever has such unfair advantages imo. how is it self-destructive?

@wjmaggos you are literally describing destruction and asking how it's self-destructive?

Great! You want things destroyed on your own terms! Don't we all wish to have that power?

It's for the best that we don't sanction it.
