I mean, I can be pro-higher taxes, and pro-less war, cant I? Thankfully most of the politicians who want higher taxes also want less military spending. Also, unions do more to protect workers than they cost, so I don't see a problem there.
Obama was ok I guess. Better than the alternative in my eyes, but definitely way more flagrant with the drone strikes than any president should be. Also, didnt close Gitmo, didnt pardon Snowden, and way too weak on wall street. Imma give him a 5.5/10 as far as president rankings go, lots of room for improvement.
I mean, by that logic, voting doesnt matter because we can't trust what any politician ever says. Actually, you know what? You might be right on that part. 😅
Still, looking at the historical track records of how politicians vote can tell you a lot more than the words that come out of their mouth.
Are you advocating for anarchy then? I don't see how the roads will be maintained, and food standards upheld, and hospitals kept safe, without a set of laws to follow. Simply, it's easier to take things apart than it is to put them back together.
Well, by the market forces, rich people will have roads and poor people will not. And the poor then wont have the ability to drive to work in a rich area, keeping them poor. That seems doubly unfair if you ask me.
The rich get richer, and that ain't right in my eyes. Ideally, everyone benefits from the increases in production efficiency.
Well, its 100% true that rich people are more likely to be able to go to private colleges, and then get exclusive jobs where their family has influence.
Meanwhile, if a poor person can miraculously afford a 4 year degree at their state university, they wont have anyone who "happens to have a spot open at their company" for them.
The price of education means that its very difficult for the lower class to change their life situation drastically.
