Wat. Are you.... American?

Its an economy thats highly dependent on tax payer funding

All defense companies

majority of tech companies

and almost all of medical uses government funding as the majority of their income

Sure, but how is China better?

Kill everyone

sure thing, atf

They have a significantly more capitalistic economy within their borders than we do here and abroad

@Cataclysmo not really on the taxpayer part. It's heavily dependent on government subsidy, but that doesn't actually come from taxpayers.
Income tax and other taxes on citizens are just deflationary measures.

It's always an option

radical centrism

@tacticoolyourjets They still get funding from various laws and contracts

the subsidies just help

Defeatism is gay

fine...

Most medical companies are getting bux from medicare

and its gonna increase once all those boomers retire

and some of those companies all their income is from medicare patients

Courage isn't riding in when the odds are good, it's knowing everything sucks and saddling up anyway.

does anyone know of any zip panels will fit a 119

whereas the chinese dont give a fuck

Kill commies

@whip zip panels are proprietary

@tacticoolyourjets.....where do government subsidies come from, if not from taxpayers?

@Cataclysmoyeah but the government still controls the economy at will.

The government prints money bro

No they don't

cause that would mean the recession never wouldve happened

They are not running spread sheets tallying up how much money they are going to get from taxes in order to make their budget.

Check out Modern Monetary Theory. It's pretty interesting.

I'm pretty sure they know roughly how much money they'll get every year.

Yes, but like I said, that's deflationary. Money gets created, but if you just printed money forever that would hyperinflate and crash the economy. You have to pull money from circulation in order to keep the credit machine going, essentially.

The economy is built on a concept of unlimited growth.
If you didn't have taxes to force money out of the hands of the populace, you'd have hyperinflation. If there are no taxes, or lower taxes, most people save their money. That's bad news bears for the market.

Your state and local taxes do in fact fund things directly, I'm talking about federally.

They probably save because they're used to being taxed out the ass. And, so what? They weren't spending it before, why is it bad if they don't spend it now? And most importantly, why the fuck should anyone be allowed to force people to spend their money how they want it spent?

I don't disagree. This economy isn't build for the benefit of the people.

Markets should work for the people. Not the other way around.

Tl;dr I hate capitalism

But I am not a communist.

Unrelated: what are the guidelines for outdoor ranges? My gf said the range near her looks like it's just a field and benches, no buildings. Aside from not leaving trash, should I look for a tip jar or some shit? How are these things run?
