Less so under universal healthcare

2018-03-10 20:28:49 UTC  

Way to go Canada...

2018-03-10 20:28:59 UTC  

Are we done here?

2018-03-10 20:29:02 UTC  

What do you disagree with?

2018-03-10 20:29:22 UTC  

I dont feel that youre honestly trying

2018-03-10 20:29:31 UTC  

What should I try to do exactly?

2018-03-10 20:29:37 UTC  

Take the government's corrupt side?

2018-03-10 20:30:06 UTC  

If corruption is the root of all evil, government is the world's most evil tree of slavery.

2018-03-10 20:30:20 UTC  

I think besides low income tax credits and universal healthcare, you will find plenty of examples where the government has helped the poor, even if it has sometimes helped some rich people.

2018-03-10 20:30:32 UTC  

Again, not solely or directly.

2018-03-10 20:30:48 UTC  

Decisions can be made to help all groups in society, and thats what progress entails

2018-03-10 20:30:58 UTC  

Who makes those decisions?

2018-03-10 20:31:14 UTC  

Depends on thw system of governance

2018-03-10 20:31:26 UTC  

How can we make any form of progress if the solution to wealth inequality and rule by the wealthy are determined by the people who are the problem?

2018-03-10 20:31:35 UTC  

In the US its a rep democracy, tho strongly pro corporte

2018-03-10 20:31:50 UTC  

We are not a democracy.

2018-03-10 20:32:05 UTC  

We are a constitutional republic.

2018-03-10 20:32:05 UTC  

Well, it kind of is but not really

2018-03-10 20:32:16 UTC  

The thing is

2018-03-10 20:32:29 UTC  

You can vote for people who will help you

2018-03-10 20:32:38 UTC  

We became corrupted and then somehow magically switched to democracy...which is actually corporate fascism in disguise.

2018-03-10 20:32:42 UTC  

Its not a permanent solution, eventually the system needs to change

2018-03-10 20:32:58 UTC  

But lets not pretend it doesnt result in some measure of progress

2018-03-10 20:33:08 UTC  

The system will only change if there is one swift and absolute alteration.

2018-03-10 20:33:17 UTC  

I disagree

2018-03-10 20:33:38 UTC  

We've tried it your way, it's failed methodically and intentionally.

2018-03-10 20:33:53 UTC  

Maybe it would change, but not necessarily in a good way

2018-03-10 20:34:06 UTC  

Revolution is my answer, base income is the solution.

2018-03-10 20:34:19 UTC  

Base income doesnt even fix the problem

2018-03-10 20:34:25 UTC  

It would.

2018-03-10 20:34:30 UTC  

Watch some richard wolff

2018-03-10 20:34:37 UTC  

People would not be forced to bend to the will of corporations.

2018-03-10 20:34:49 UTC  

That assumes people get enough UBI

2018-03-10 20:34:51 UTC  

They would have what they need to pursue what they want.

2018-03-10 20:35:06 UTC  

Capitalist will just increase prices with basic income.

2018-03-10 20:35:18 UTC  

Then a revolution would happen.

2018-03-10 20:35:29 UTC  

Fannybandit you're a really dogmatic person

2018-03-10 20:35:36 UTC  

Greed cannot dictate the lives of the people.

2018-03-10 20:35:41 UTC  

Youre absolutely convinced

2018-03-10 20:35:45 UTC  

Almost religiously

2018-03-10 20:35:49 UTC  

Of your opinions
