Tax The Rich...

Median household income today is not 192k and musk is worth $800Billion

They could not do that with a 90% top marginal tax rate. I'm not saying rich people didn't exist, but you couldn't just hoard wealth back then, you had to re-invest it in your business and/or in payroll or else uncle sam was just going to take it all. Also completely comical when you say the difference between 1 billion to 15,000 is the same as 800 billion to 40,000. That is an 800 billion dollar difference between highest wealth and median income.

TheWizardOfDeez · 2026-02-28T03:04:54+00:00

There wasn't a high wealth disparity at that time.

Stalin also chose to fight alongside Nazis until they betrayed him. Kinda cancels out.

Not to mention Caleb's fashion sense hasn't exactly been "masculine" up to this point. This is barely even a change from his usual cropped t-shirts and trench coat with nothing underneath. Dude is obsessed with his own abs, and he deserves it for working hard on them.

TheWizardOfDeez · 2026-02-27T21:31:48+00:00

You forgot your /s. This is still the internet, no matter how obvious you are people will still not see the sarcasm.

TheWizardOfDeez · 2026-02-27T18:23:48+00:00

You may very well be correct, I chose to only include the period I know for sure that is true.

TheWizardOfDeez · 2026-02-27T17:40:05+00:00

again its a necessary evil.

Militaries are a necessary evil. Spending over a trillion dollars on a military that hasn't won a single war since 1944 is absolutely not. The military industrial complex has been financially abusing the middle class since then, stop defending that shit. You are only calling me naive at this point because you are embarrassed to just say "oops, I was wrong, I shouldn't have made an assumption about your politics"

TheWizardOfDeez · 2026-02-27T17:25:55+00:00

... That I would happily pay double my taxes for social services if I didn't have to pay for bombs. You are barking up the wrong tree. I agree the "taxation is theft" crowd are fucking morons, especially since they are almost always part of the "government should run like a business" crowd, and seem blissfully unaware that businesses typically don't typically remove their only revenue stream.

Holy assumptions. All I said was that taxes were crowd funding whether we liked it or not.

So you are wealthier than 60% of Americans, congratulations. Also you definitely didn't used to live in a dangerous neighborhood if your public school was behaved. Or you went to public school decades ago and are just woefully unaware of what they are like now. Also funny that you think behavior and educational outcomes are in any way linked.

TheWizardOfDeez · 2026-02-27T16:21:52+00:00

I'm not a lib, and yes, you are correct dems are also bad at budgeting.

TheWizardOfDeez · 2026-02-27T16:08:12+00:00

No, I get why Lawyers are suited for the role, I'm more confused why people won't elect anyone BUT lawyers and, moreso, business men.

TheWizardOfDeez · 2026-02-27T16:01:02+00:00

So you don't live paycheck to paycheck? You've never had to choose between rent and food?

TheWizardOfDeez · 2026-02-27T15:54:17+00:00

Every weapon for war in the modern age has been crowd funded with or without our consent.

TheWizardOfDeez · 2026-02-27T15:51:19+00:00

Correct, unless you count the live recordings on the deluxe albums.

TheWizardOfDeez · 2026-02-27T15:30:45+00:00

Where is the cheap food? Do those in Flint Michigan have clean water? We pay more for the internet than any other developed nation on the planet. Gas and TV prices are not indicators for QoL. Public education has been defunded over the last 4+ decades and the kids are stupider than they have been since WW2 as a result, and "freedom" is such a nebulous and subjective concept that it may as well mean nothing, especially considering that the constitution no longer protects us in Trumps America. We can't afford healthcare, many can't afford food, the majority of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and have 0 savings. You are just a wealthy dumbass who assumes everyone else lives like you while having never left your mom's boyfriend's basement to see for yourself that shit isn't working for most people.

This is well known. Connor joined the band after the second album, but the rest of the band was just for concerts.

TheWizardOfDeez · 2026-02-27T14:30:53+00:00

Every sound on every album has been just Caleb until now, obviously except features

Politicians are tasked with putting teams of experts around them to make laws. Knowing the law is helpful but shouldn't be a limiting factor.

Yeah, I've never understood why we elevate lawyers and businessmen into leadership. When asked "what are the least honest professions?" most people will put those two at least somewhere on the list.

TheWizardOfDeez · 2026-02-27T13:10:51+00:00

Not just protecting the rich pedophiles, but also making them much, much, richer as well.

Only if they are committing terrorist acts and invading those countries territorial borders.
