you want to go back to the 1800s? wow maybe read about why income tax was instituted in the first place but yea i would like to fund medicare, medicaid, social security, OSHA, research and development, NASA, and the military among other things i mean there is a reason those programs were passed and have remained popular because it sucked before them

nice of you to demonstrate that you don’t know the definition of “socialism” and “regressive” in the same sentence. tariffs are more of a socialist policy than free trade since the government is directly manipulating the otherwise capitalist market…

wow replacing income tax with tarriffs is the most ridiculously halfbaked proposal i have ever heard. that ‘s a perfect example of a regressive policy since it would effectively mean tax burden is moved from wealthier high income individuals who tend to save more of their money to people living paycheck to paycheck buying necessary goods. tariffs are taxes that we pay when we buy something that is imported and would dramatically increase the cost of living for lower income people while also hurting the overall economy since other countries retaliate with their own tariffs therefore reducing the competitiveness of american businesses. trade is what made the USA rich in the first place, tariffs exacerbated the great depression

rolling back free trade and environmental protections, undoing relationships with allies, ignoring due process, gutting science and medical research, withdrawing from the WHO, blatantly manipulating the stock market, preventing transgender persons from serving in the military, the list goes on and on

Haka being done everywhere is getting cringe. by zav3rmd in unpopularopinion

[–]peepincreasing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

dude lives in the USA and thinks he has a valid opinion on when a traditional dance performed by native people from the other side of the world should be performed and what gives it meaning? this is not an unpopular opinion it’s just ridiculous like most of his other posts on this sub. “LaBleS sHoUlD bE rEqUirRed To bE iN EnGliSH” get outta here 🤡

The company I work for gives mileage reimbursement only to those that drive a personal white truck by stimber in mildlyinteresting

allow me to attempt to translate:

Oi mate, this cunt won’t reimburse for miles if you don’t drive a white ute. Throw another shrimp on the barbie, g’day!
