The last thing that we need is bigger government and more taxes.
The gov gets money to protect your rights
What rights have they protected?
Name one.
Queef do you think things are running well
Life liberty pursuit of happiness
the whole thing is on the verge of collapse
Yeah unemployment all time low, GDP is high
GDP is corporate wealth in America...not personal wealth per citizen.
wages havent grown
So? Higher GDP means better QoL
personal debt still rising
the whole thing is dangerously unstable
Higher GDP means government and corporations have more power/capital...that's it.
Wages have grown if you account for benefits
What measure of average earning is there for the people?
That's the true GDP in my eyes...not what corporations are raking in.
The Gini Coefficient is usually a better metric than GDP
It's about the people...fuck the country and corporations.
Sure, a country's GDP may rise but if that wealth is being distributed disproportionately does it really matter?
What is a country without it's people?
@Uriel Exactly.
Yeah Afghanistan is great with their 0.28 gini
question
GDP is a measure of the 1% wealth.
That wealth was slaved away for by the people.
They get none of it back.
Queef do you think the 1% create wealth for the people lol?
This whole obsession with equality is stupid
No one is equal
No one is equal...but they should be treated as such.
That's the law.
The most equalizing force on the planet.
morally outrageous @fannybandit
does being wooed by my girlfriend make me a soyboy? she was even the one who started our conversations
Idk.
talking to women makes you a soyboy
im told
I don't necessarily advocate for total equality in the sense that all residents of a country are earning a similar wage; what does concern me, however, is the reality of individuals making 450K living a twenty minute drive from people who cannot sustain themselves
@Nicholas91 Morals should be the foundation of function among the people and in a nation.
