For the sake of having something to argue over
Okay. What is the problem with the statement?
A form if centralization is neccesary for a society with a free market to have cohesion
Without a governing body, a free market would either make an oligarchy or total anarchy
Silicone valley being a good example
Likewise, most average people are getting a good deal
If one had to choose however where would you prioritize.
Regulation
Only because markets are so strong.
I think sales taxes are what I would work on eliminating first.
You cant do that
Reduce cost of living for the poorest
And reduces taxes
How can we be sure that the centralized government is taking our money and putting it where it needs to go? Most people don't pay attention to any sort of spending.
Besides, this centralization will no doubt water down the free market, eliminating the "free" aspect of the market.
Keep in mind that the top 10% of the rich pay for 90% of the taxes
Most average people are not paying their fair share
Not entirely true
The free market hasnt been free since we were born
Most of top 1% avoid paying taxes by paying a fraction of what they would pay in taxes into charities, and by putting the majority of their money in off-shore accounts.
Poor people pay the rich people's taxes through the cost of the goods and services they consume.
And there is no way guarantee the rich wont fuck over others either
And the poor are being replaced
By offshore shenanegins, things the free market allows
That is benefitting the poor more than harming for automation
Thats highly immoral
A country exploiting another for gains
And then their population explodes
And now we have refugees wanting to get their fair share
For providing slave labor and cheap goods
Like how we wont leave the mjddle east cause oil
Or africa and its poor consitions
Or china and india
Buying from those countries ks hurting them hard and its going to bleed into the west
Everything has a price. Weve been accumaliating debt
And exploiting other countries to avoid it
Debt has helped put us much farther ahead than wee should be. Everyone has a car and a house
Debtis a goverment handled issue
It hurts the free market though.bad. but it helps the poor
And what most people have in money is not enough to pay for all the things they enjoy that they dont pay for
If you want less regulation, go ahead. But people will have to rely on themselves alot more
