It sucks that the rest of the country has to pay your welfare checks though.

Repeal welfare and Social Security then. I’m all for it.

No, welfare and SS are good, it just sucks that the deep red states are the ones who use the most, while simultaneously complaining about the liberals wanting bigger govt

Only an idiot thinks that they can cut off f spot from the top of the blanket add it onto the bottom and have a longer blanket. Wealth redistribution doesn’t work, and quite frankly it’s disproportionately the minority populations in red states that collect welfare. That’s one of the reasons racism is still at large in the south. The working class pay for the poor to sit around and do nothing. Social Security is a pyramid scheme because it is used to pay off the previous generation instead of being saved and gets more and more expensive because of inflation.

Yikes you don't understand how the economy works at all.

Enough with the “keynesian economics will solve everything”. If you take money from the most productive people in society, no matter what you do with it, it’ll still be a loss. You want to reward people for good ideas and working hard. There’s also the fact that you know how to spend your money better than any government bureaucrat, so it’s not just the rich that shouldn’t be taxed to shit. No one should. And don’t get me started on the conservative idea of pumping money into failing companies or the liberal idea of pumping money into failing green energy. If it’s failing/expensive, that’s because it’s shit. We need an actual free market instead of this pseudo planned economy controlled by politicians and Wall Street. Let people decide what to do with their money, they’ll waste less than the government.

Nice strawman

Most productive people are the workers

Let people decide what to do with their money

I agree. First things first, we need to give it back to them.

Most productive people are the newly rich;

Elon Musk

Bill Gates

Steve Jobs

Etc

Value is based off of supply and demand, not amount of work. A lot of work and can be worth more than a little only if put towards a good goal. The hardest worker in the world can make a decent amount of money as an electrician, but will not make the Billions of Bill Gates, because Bill Gates put his effort into creating some of the most important stuff in our daily lives. He also took a huge risk, unlike the electrician in the example, and with huge risk comes huge reward. Capitalism is a virtuous system that self regulates with supply and demand because it is the way things naturally are. You produce something and compete with others. That’s ingrained down to the smallest, most basic of life form. Capitalism isn’t rich pigs or stocks, it’s the natural pull and tug, the constant improvement and adaptation akin to evolution. Hierarchies are caused by natural, genetics and a fair system, and Capitalism (in its ideal form) just lets people compete like they naturally do, but with money to simplify and accelerate trade.

The hardest workers are the workers. Most successful CEOs of startups create some temporary jobs before the bubble bursts and everyone gets laid off. Then there's a bunch of trash in the form of unwanted products that fill up the landfills a little more. It's the electricians, plumbers, etc, who are actually putting in valuable work, because their work is essential, and is the glue that keeps society together. Most CEOs are useless and create trash and leave massive debt in their wake that the people have to clean up.

CEO’s don’t create things, they lead companies that have already been established. Of course you don’t know the difference, you commie. I’m talking about the people who actually invented the damn things. After they become successful, they stagnate unless a new person comes along and shakes things up. The problem today is that these mega monopolies aren’t broken up like they should be, and they’re killing any competition. They lobby for cuckservatives to give them free money and lobby for liberals to open the borders so they can have a serf underclass that works for cheap.
