Wealth taxes are retarded tbqh
Most of the wealth of billionaires etc. who are supposed to pay isn't liquid but invested in stocks
If you force a wealth tax on them they'll be forced to sell many of those stocks at once which would lower the value of them

So you might have a billionaire pay 20 million by selling 50 million in stocks

Bezos would be a good example of someone who would be crippled by this

> all government action is "Taking money at the barrel of the gun"
This but its actually a good thing

Government is unbridled force and it should be used for our own ends

Pope catched a new virus

I don't want to sound evil, but let's hope, that in the case he dies, we get a based pope

I hope he survives it

yeah

And that's not an irony. He would become living example why his ideology doesn't work.

But I doubt he will learn a lesson from this (like most people).

Are turks even human?

Turks like wolves because they/dogs are heavily associated with the Gökturks afaik

Weirdly enough Turkish people in Germany are scared shitless of dogs though

We are beyond fucked

That tweet doesn’t make sense

Stop buying masks it doesn’t work but we need masks because they work

Like which is it

he never said they need them for corona

it probably helps with other diseases and keeping clean hospitals in general

I'm ready

youre gonna get a peanut allergy after the first 3 glasses and then die of allergic shock with the fourth

Holy f-

@RIP Skelly I totally agree, government can be a force for good that can push our own ends. @Mr. Nessel I was just using a tax example. Just making the point id be fine raising taxes on the wealthy to boost services that would benefit the population like Child Benefits, Infrastructure, etc

I support that too, however it's quite the step to have a wealth tax rather than just raising income taxes

@Mr. Nessel I suppose so. im not a economist so i cant say which tax would be most beneficial to raise revenue lol. I was just responding to Charlemagne that government can raise revenue and then spend it in a way that benefits society. We can debate the exact way to raise revenue or what to spend it on but Charlemagne was moving close to Libertarian retard territory and i was just making the point that it can, and should.

We agree then

remember that taxing the rich makes them leave the country and then you get nothing at all

so it has to be reasonable

@Argent7771 dude, get some canned fruit and meat. You won't be able to run on beans alone. Still pretty good.

Variety is the name of the game. You won't probably get power cut off so some meat in freezer is good idea. If you can get dry meat.

Some canned maks or tuna should also be considered.

I have meat and frozen vewggies

I just didn't take those out for obvious reasons

My buddy Serp made a good point the US's millitary budget is bullshit

since like Russia has a nationalized defense industry

Actually higher taxes don't make people leave, at least income taxes don't
