this is what a whiney ass Russian says about life.. this is how a coward thinks.. this is what defeat looks like from inside the mind of the loser..
I agree, memes like this act like this isn't a reason to try. It's an illusion to think one solution solves all problems. There are several problems here and having the wealthy pay their share will be part of the solution.
JFC. Yes, both problems exist, and the barrier to taxing the rich are the cunts in control. Cut them out, then the money will go where it needs to and we have greater control over who gets taxed what.
Oh no, I've been labeled a coward for an unpopular opinion on
checks notes
tax policy
I'm all for taxing the rich, and paying taxes, so long as the funds go to programs that don't blow up children in foreign countries.
Another constructive comment adjusted by view on the matter.
Just because you can't fix everything at once doesn't mean you shouldn't fix one thing then move onto the next.
Yeah the money won't go where we want it to and that sucks. It's already not going where we want it to. Progress is often achieved in steps.
Then why not start with the root of corruption? If the end result is the same, why not go after the politicians that enable the rich to ease taxes to begin with?
Because often times you have to cut a tree down from the top, you can't just uproot it right away. It's the reason we go up stairs one at a time instead of two or three at a time. The end result is the same but we learned as kids it takes a lot more effort taking a few massive steps instead of more smaller ones. Politics takes time, politicians have a lot of voices to sift through. We'll always hear our own voice in a choir, it's a lot harder from the audience.
But literally how!? The politicians who control tax law are in control. Isn't this a paradox?
If you can't change the laws, change the politicians, If you can't change the politicians, change the system. If you can't do either, talk about it until enough people agree and you can. Incremental changes my friend.
what if your Taxes go to Programs that help Ukraine and Taiwan not be annexed by brutal Dictators?
all i can do is try to help
Stabbing in the dark with misattribution isn't helping...it's closer to being what you claim me to be: an agent if misinformation.
those labels will get you one way or another
"so long as" is the weak point in your approach, IMO. There are separate problems. If you insist on solving them together, probably you fail to do anything. Work on both, but don't insist on a single grand solution.
