It is there to fund infrastructure, services, local administrations, important oversight departments for consumer-protection etc. for EVERYONE. Noone wants to tax the rich to make them poorer but to care better and react on new scientific revelations for everyone - as it would be impossible to fund the society by taxing everyone just a few dollars and mostly letting only the poor and the middle-class pay.

Just close tax loopholes, make big corps accountable, and have them pay fair wages. Otherwise your just kissed off that someone else has more than you. Get over it. Some of those people who make more do so under a family Corp that uses its funds to pay the salary of 10 or people. That extra 100K or more is what possibly allows them to reinvest. Sometimes it’s a land sale that gives someone good fortune. They’ve probably worked that land all their life. Why should they have to pay a higher premium on something over 400K? They should not.

There are conservative politicians that I do respect, such as Richard von Weizsäcker, Ludwig Erhard and Norbert Blüm. I can even respect Margaret Thatcher to some extent.

Ben Shapiro brushes over the rehearsed talking points from his Republican Newspeak Dictionary so no one can seriously intervene and unpack all the predispositions he goes over at once, that doesn't make him smart. He doesn't argue with anyone, he doesn't intellectually engage or respect any norm of discourse. He's a cheat who talks to himself while maintaining the illusion that there's a discussion going on.

"Concerned" can mean almost anything, it depends on how the question is worded and what the "concern" is. - I'm concerned that I'm paying more in tax than the highest earners, either in absolute numbers or as a percentage of my income. - I'm concerned that I'm not paying enough. - I'm concerned that once I pay my taxes I won't have any money left. etc.

[@NoName-bi6ib]

Why in the world wouldn’t we be in favor of raising taxes on the rich?

[@shinHis3]

It lowers the incentive for people to get rich in the first place. The overall tax then becomes lower because there are less rich ppl and also because ppl are incentivised to build their businesses elsewhere/risk tax evasion. Why do you think many companies set themselves up in places where they have least tax? Wouldn't you do it? This also means a lot especially to people who grind their life away for later life/for their family. They have to grind their life away just for other ppl to reap the benefits?

[@yotubeification]

@@shinHis3 there is a simple solution to people trying to ship their businesses and wealth over seas. Nationalization. Even better. Turn the factories over to the workers and let them run their workplaces like democracies and elect people to positions in the company. Mondragon in Spain is the 10th largest company in that nation. It has some of the best benefits, highest quality products, and highest wages in the nation, because they don't have to waste money on overpaying a CEO to do almost nothing and shareholders who do literally nothing. It's like a little democracy within the large democracy that is Spain.

[@shinHis3]

@@yotubeification -_- You can say shareholders do nothing, sure, but CEOs do a lot of things. The main problem with socialism, to me, is that they don't know how to value good and bad decisions. What CEOs do, in case you don't understand, is to make good decisions and avoid bad decisions. Sure, they don't "work" in the old sense of the word, manual labor, but they sure do mull over the decisions they have to make and make sure they make good ones. Socialism doesn't take this into account. Steve Jobs/Bill Gates didn't become rich because they work more than other people. They became rich because they implemented better ideas than other people. No matter how much you dislike it, effort doesn't always translate into results. The difference in results is the from the difference of the ideas put into practice. The problem with the system you speak of, is that people will be less incentivized to come up with new ideas because their hard work can just be taken by the government. This is why America is at the forefront of technology for almost every category of individual products. Good ideas get rewarded (although sometimes bad ideas get rewarded too). That's better than good ideas gets taken away and people don't care about coming up with good ideas anymore.

[@yotubeification]

@@shinHis3 the reason the U.S. is at fore front of technology is public research funding. Also you are confusing government run organizations and community run work places. I prefer to take a left libertarian approach rather than a communist approach. A CEO possition is admitedly more work than I made it out to be, you're right. But that is why even more than before to have the workers be in control. Because the CEO makes descions that effect the worker's livelihoods. And if the business fails it is the workers who pay for it ultimately. CEOs bail and get golden parachutes.

[@shinHis3]

@@yotubeification Did Microsoft or Apple have anything to do with this public research funding you mentioned? If they are I stand corrected but I've never heard anything of the like. I see the ideal you're going for by mentioning "community run work places", but I've never seen it to not shift into the "government run organizations" in the long run. Maybe you can give me an example of one that has endured >10 yrs. I admit CEOs getting golden handshakes for making stupid decisions also leave a bad taste in my mouth, while lower class people who make bad decisions don't get the same leeway. But CEOs aren't representatives of their workers. They're their leaders. They decide the direction of the company, or at least pitch it to the shareholders, and make sure the smaller decisions go in line with that direction. Putting those decisions to vote just makes the position of CEO obsolete. But that's not what's bad about that. What's bad is you'll have ppl who have no idea about how things work also voting on the direction the company should go. For small companies where everyone knows each other it can work, but anything bigger than that would yield worse and worse results since the number of ppl who have no idea on what they vote on increases.

Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all. - Ecclesiastes 9:11

[@tailleferrestan]

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the Earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." - Matthew 5:3-12

Jesus never tried to advocate for government change. The "Body of Christ" isn't the government. You clearly don't know much about his teachings.

lol they can’t seem to figure out that that 70% that favors income over 10 million dollars is tired of watching the top 1% succeed while they are failing to pay their bills

Some Americans are so scared of environmentally friendly technologies, it's putting America at risk of missing out on opportunities in the field and other competing countries will benefit.

[@simmerke1111]

Yup. Look at what's happening in Bitcoin mining. Those are very wealthy companies who used to run in China because of cheap electricity. They're starting to move over to Norway and Sweden. Their clean power and the clean power they get from Germany made it cheaper than China's coal plants.

@@jorgearellano9204 The GND has no real estimate. That is a false figure cited by Republicans fearmongering their base. Currently, there is no organized plan for the GND. It is still in its infancy.

@@thomasbiernacki4426 How? Most illegal immigrants come by legal visa and stay past it. We are only one country. The GND would benefit the globe. And no, caring for the world does not make the GND a "globalist" idea.

@@thomasbiernacki4426....technically you would have to say that "migrants may be caught trying to cross the southern border illegally"!!

2:28- “Most favor raising tax rates on millionaires, however, 7 in 10 say they’re extremely or very concerned about the amount they pay in taxes - *cuts to chase* - Ok, what to do with a lifetime supply of peanut butter?” Who cares about taxes?

Even if taxes on the rich aren't raised, at least make it harder for them to weasel their way out of what they do owe. Too many of them get away with paying little to no taxes.

"If that's the optimal solution economist sort out, I'll go with that." Economy should be left to economist. Same way, a medical diagnosis should be left to a doctor or a plumbing leak should be left to a plumber or a breakdown in machinery should be left to a millwright. Why is that our society doesn't work the most logical way? Decisions are left to be made by most popular kids elected prom king or queen. IT'S SO DUMB.

[@GrammeStudio]

because Americans would rather listen to celebrities than scientists, doctors, or economists. they even voted one into the most powerful position. Americans and the system that is America do not reward wisdom and knowledge as much as they value viciousness, ruthlessness, and drama. look at how much they side-stepped people like Yang. he was probably the only one who spent his time focusing on issues and problem solving but because he was so dry and technical and did not stoop to trash-talking and drama, he was not given as much attention by the public. on the other hand, consider the Yang's counterpart, who spent his entire campaign mostly fanning the fire by demeaning his opponents and offering little to no substantial argument, and yet he unanimously won the support of his party. the people at the frontier of pushing the country and the world forward like those in NASA truly are not the people America deserves for how much they're made to be villains in conspiracies
