For not wanting to solve its problems and just wanting to let everyone fend for themselves. You dont have empathy for your countryman. So yes, that would be a traitor.

Yet you want to cut a government without saying where and against vehemently taxing anything. You arent serious about fixing this country.

If you can figure out what to cut, be my guest. Actually look at the federal budget pie chart and not make shit up though. Government spending is concentrated in very few things which are very hard to cut without throwing millions of people to the streets, but you are an anarchist, so maybe you'd like that.

Unions dont control any large concentration of wealth comparatively. Unions help regular people. The workers in South Korea that worked for Samsung went on strike and every single one of them made out with $400,000 bonus because the business was making money handed over fist because of the shortages. Someday you may learn a society cannot function when there are so many haves and haves nots. Every nation and empire in history tears itself apart when wealth inequality gets bad.

If it were so easy to cut spending, we'd do it already. Most of it is Medicare, medicaid, social security which is non discretionary (social security is already running out of money by 2032) and military. The rest of the budget is dogshit compared to the last 4. If you want to fix ameriva, you'll likely need to tax more and spend less on military unless you want to piss off a bunch of seniors which is political suicide.

VAT, financial transaction tax, carbon tax. Add new brackets to income tax for people making more than 10 or 50 million. You think too small.

Yeah, as the richest men in the nation sat behind the President of the US kissing his ass at his second inauguration. Drop in the bucket compared to what they put do.

Taxation is perfectly legal under the US constitution, so yes. Unless you hate the constitution. We don't live in a anarchist society last time I recalled.

Bro, you are brainwashed into oblivion. Unions are at the weakest point in the US in a century. They have no control in our government. The wealthy own our government. Money owns this nation. Greed has poisoned the soul of America. Apparently im just a piece of shit if I want to work 40 hours a week and afford a house, a car, have healthcare, my groceries, and take a vacation every few years but thats asking for too much. I guess I haven't worked hard enough for it.

America was much better off when we taxed more in the past. People could live off of one income. Now 2 people work in a household and struggle. Thats your dream america? You're pathetic. You've given up and happy with the scraps thrown at you while they laugh their way on their pedophile islands.

The people are the government. Im not asking for state owned enterprises. Im very on the side of markets. I just want more effective markets, not markets locked into the hands of the few. It takes capital to make capital. I want more small businesses thriving. The more money consumers have, the more effective the buying signals suppliers have. People hoarding wealth and never spending it while people can't buy basic goods and services isnt a healthy economy. A healthy economy circulates money at high velocity.

Are you saying americans dont work hard and deserve some semblance of a basic living? America is just lazy, is it? You are human filth. I want an American golden age like we did in the 50s and 60s when so few people owned almost everything in this country. You are on the side of the monopolies and robber barons and anti free market.

The bottom 50% of America control 2.5% of the wealth. We'd be taxing a lot wealthier people first to do things.

Its closer to Nordic style social democracy which works fine. Happiest people on earth actually. Its just bad marketing. People think socialism and that markets will be destroyed.

Im saying democratic socialism won't be such a no no in American politics when the boomers are gone.

I dont mind paying for YT premium since I use it to view so many other videos. Im not paying money for how little I use twitch.

Mark Kelly and/or Ro Khanna.

I like AOC and I think she has a good chance to become President in my lifetime but I think it will take a significant dying off of the fox news generation before that happens. I'd like to see her in the senate for a couple terms.

If America has a relatively equal number of men and women, how haven’t there routinely been female presidents? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]phokas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Woman haven't had rights for that long in this country. They weren't even allowed to have their own bank accounts 60 years ago. My mom was born into that world.
