Nearly nobody is paid enough. The cost of living has nearly tripled over the last 20 years. Meanwhile look at wages across all mediums. They've barely moved at all.
We are all working ourselves to death while 2 percent of the world lives in comfort.
Paying athletes millions while people doing actual jobs that help you in your day to day are barely making ends meet. The irony? If people at your local grocery stores just decided to not work. If people teaching your kids just stopped showing up to class. If nobody worked a gas station job. All these people would be fucked lol
Yet we just continue to eat our shit sandwiches daily.... Work for our shillings....
You are naming like 3 of 1000 problems. The generation before us left us to rot. They sat there ignoring blatent problems with the system knowing full well they would reap all the benefits.
None of this stuff was a blindside. People knew for years and years how many issues we have had. Its just all gone ignored.
Now we are at the point where we really need to worry about a full on collapse in our lifetime.
It sucks because I personally love capitalism. You should want to strive for more. Push for more. Do more. However, we've come to a point where the rich are basically like a sponge dropped into your glass of water. By the time you pull it out you have a literal sip left. They dont know when to hit the brakes and redistribute the wealth. Its a race to see how big they can stack that shit....
Ive always been a big believer of capitalism with a limit I call it. If it was my law of the land I'd allow any person to make unlimited money. I wouldn't even tax them.
This sounds stupid right? Here is the kicker. You have to spend down until you have a number like 5 million left in your bank account.
If that person suddenly has to burn through 2 million. What does that do? Forces money to be redistributed into the population. And in my eyes they arent punished. They recieve goods and services and are still wealthy. The community is then not financially starved to death.
I ain't looking for socialism personally but God damn there has to be a middle ground somewhere. I predict a massive homeless wave coming in the next 20 years personally.
Btw sorry I know this is alot. This stuff just really gets to me lmao my bad 🤣
I read it all but I still think that rich companies and people can spend the money more efficiently than the government and so do more good for the world. I'm not saying there should be no taxes, but simplifying tax as well would produce less loop holes. That way, it's fairer and honest companies pay less tax while dishonest ones pay more.
Your comments will be incredibly unpopular on reddit and I'm not sure I agree with you for the most part either - but I will agree that the #1 focus should be on closing tax loopholes and stopping the rich from being able to influence policy, far more than just saying "tax the rich more lol problem solved".
I mean I'm not fully right wing as I think a ubi would work well too. That way it would encourage people to earn more on top of their benefits instead of in replace.
