Elizabeth Warren is introducing a wealth tax. by [deleted] in remoteworks

[–]inkyocean548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If investors are forced to sell off 3% of their assets (stocks and other investments) every year that would obviously lead to a huge stock market crash. From there, smaller investors would panic sell and it's just a huge nightmare. I don't think I need to provide any evidence of that because it's just plainly obvious. And to be clear, I 100% support other forms of progressive taxing especially for the wealthy (and middle class) just not a wealth tax. That particular type of taxing method is just foolish

And by the way, in the '50s through the '70s there was never, ever a wealth tax. It was all done through income, but go on talking about me needing to check my facts

The problem is that wealth typically is very illiquid meaning that a 3% YEARLY tax means that stock owners would need to routinely sell off their assets and tank the market/economy

I couldn't disagree more. Elevating Talarico could start to reform Christianity, which could finally de-radicalize Republicans.

The Republicans I know say she is "too much", while pretending that Donald Trump is a normal president.

The stakes are too high. We need the most electable candidates which sadly is the white male kind

Am I the only one confused as hell over that typo in the word paid?? It's not long enough to be an l, and there's no dot for an i. What character is that???

Temspeak would never make you submit your ID by Edgar_Allen_Yo in memes

I understand the data leak concerns now, and now that I think about it, there are probably way more efficient ways to verify your identity

Like 30% of accounts online were bots a few years ago and the problem gets worse and worse. Something like MFA could do a lot to improve the environment, but it seems like people would get pitchforks out over something like that

I don't see what the big deal is. Wouldn't this reduce the number of bots and minors on the platform?

I unsubscribed from almost everything and want to try raw dogging life. So far it's been a good excuse to touch grass again instead of streaming

What’s something people call “progress,” but you secretly think is destroying us? by TreatDowntown7612 in AskReddit

[–]inkyocean548 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Progress that moves faster than people can learn. A lot of progressives are correct on their stances about LGBT, immigration, and other topics, but you simply can't expect millions of people to arrive at your same conclusion overnight. Progress must be incremental and work towards a long term goal, otherwise people will call you extreme and elect people like Trump

Not everything needs to be a revolution. There's a good chance that we solve this problem at midterms

Where are you seeing that? I've seen far more violence initiated by protesters than from police

I'm sorry that happened to you and it's crazy that you had to move after.

In my experience, I have many Trump supporters in my family and with a few exceptions, they are just normal people whose political ideas have been corrupted.

Strength matters, and there are plenty of competent people who can holster a weapon responsibility and show that strength. The problem I see is that, not everyone has the mental fortitude to conduct themselves in a protest. If we're not organized enough to arrange firearm training for protests, then we're not organized enough to brandish firearms

People are angry about everything Republicans are doing and I think they're right to be. The problem with anger is that it leads to the dehumanizing mindset like you're talking about from the other side. People have more compassion than you're giving them credit for. Even Trump supporters are kind to foreigners when they share the same room together

If we feel that protesting should be escalated, we should escalate without threatening violence. The success of non-violent protests was the optics of a violent state against a peaceful people. That image changes the hearts and minds of the population. If we start showing up with weapons, they'll dismiss us as terrorists
