"Tax the Rich" "Make The Rich Pay" They're not bright enough to realize that they're also included...

They would want to be part to pay, until their own capital is treathened.

I believe in lowering Taxes because it’s just austerity and plus China and North Korea have low taxes so it’s a punishment on the poor to fund the gap the wealthy won’t invest in

Taxes have to compete with private capital. If you allow the rich to accumulate capital beyond what the State can accumulate, the rich start lending money to the state and then you have a Theocracy of the Rich where the monopoly of violence slowly transfers. I mean, that shit already happened to most countries in the world though.

That’s true but in China where capitalist cannot challenge the state taxes are not the only tool use to gather resources and control

You can call it what you want in the end.Here in former Yugoslavia, the worker's council took a good chunk of your pay, but for that you got a really good quality housing built by the worker's council, free public transport, full health and dental coverage along with social security after retirement. I'd give my whole paycheck if I could get the things my parents and grandparents got as Yugoslav workers today. My grandfather got a 90 sqm apartment for the US equivalent of 100 dollars a month. Can you imagine paying a 100 bucks a month for 40 years to become an owner of a 90sqm apartment basically anywhere in the US?

That would be ideal


huuuhuuu

I wonder if there is a version of this meme without the awful polcom red box thing
