You don’t represent the majority of Americans
It’s rare that people do that
To say that we can rely on charity in such a hyper-individualist and consumerist culture is naive
I've sat down with homeless and talked to them before work after i got them breakfast (for him and his puppy)
they *are* people...
i don't disagree
So then why the “eh”?
i can't concern myself with all poor people, but i also won't ignore one if i can help in some small way
and forcing us to pay for others is exactly why whites are in the situation they are with low birth rates. we have to gibs to everyone else and have less for our own.
and my understanding is (economic system we can't talk about here) was basically just running on borrowed money
Labor backed currency now

Corporations use state power to gain capital. Forcing them to use some of their money for the common good is not "forced charity", it's just expecting something in return.
My forced charity comment was in regards to individuals/families being forced to pay taxes (much higher under Socialism) to pay for others, not corporations.
Any trad women in here? Just wondering if going to the national event will be worth going if it's all non-trad dudes with hippie hair.
No Sausage party nationalism for @Freiheit - CA I guess...
High income earners benefit from corporate power. I'm not saying we should tax them to the point that they can't be rewarded for success, but there does need to be done taxation to support social programs.
How did America do it before the income tax?
@Bogl - CA tariffs and whisky taxes
Sorry, I'm not working until 1am today to pay for Shaqueetas 6 kids...
I *might* be ok with it if we were in a state we can't mention in chat though.
@Asatru Artist - MD a state of euphoria, surely
Of course! *(in Cenk voice)*
@Bogl - CA Did America do it before the income tax, though?
What were the functions of government back then?
The income tax is only about a hundred years old
I think we fought WWI before the income tax
Animal of the day is Boer Goat.
