Government has yet to, in modern history, directly help the poor.
You cant just add contradictory statements
It's elaborating and clarifying, not contradicting.
Low income tax credits are added independently of others
It's all part of one movement.
Look i get what youre saying, but you have to admit that the statement you made about never helping the poor is wrong
Tax credits in general.
Never *solely* helping the poor is a different argument
Big business and wealthy people benefitted much more than low income families.
.
oof semantical arguments
Exchange solely for directly.
Theres no reason to talk about tax credits in general
Government has never made an effort to directly help the people.
I specifically said low income tax credits
You forget about the high income tax credits.
No i dont
It's all part of one movement/system.
But i only need to provide a counterexample to your argument
No, it isnt
If the wealthy, who are the problem, are getting more out of it than the people...that means it did not solely or directly benefit the people.
You can have tax credirs for low income without those for the wealthy, but politicians are bought by the wealthy
No shit.
That's my overall point.
Governments make many decisions, some can help the rich, some can help the poor, some help both, some screw both
Government is nothing more than an extension of the oppressing wealthy/ruling class.
And its not all one movement
This is exactly why a revolution is absolutely necessary.
By voting for the right people, you can at least steer it in a better direction
Corruption is strangling the people.
Vote for which wealthy person exactly?
You're making many different points at once, most of which i already agree with
I just dont like the view that government cant be used to help poor people
Then why are you posturing as if there's a debate?
Since it already does
Thats the point i disagree with
Ok, so then you agree.
That's it.
*facepalm*
What do you disagree with?
