The Packman video about How they would pay for is such BS. First assumes no one changes their behavior after the taxes....To think no millionaire or billionaire might move to some other country to avoid a wealth tax. They found out they do that in France recently..

I know, they assume rich people are just cash machines that don't put a ton of effort into getting already diminishing returns on time investment

They like to believe there are a lot of Scrooge McDucks our there....

I'd wager that the majority of the healthcare costs are due to lifestyle choices

I'd have to look into it though

well the stat I heard. was you will spend 50% of all spending on healthcare in your life in the last 6 months of your life

Well. That kind of makes sense

I know that the life expectancy in the US would be much higher without car crashes and obesity

also on how they collect the stats

I think the highest, not sure

we are the most obese...

something like 25% of children are obese....and that percentage actually increases the poorer child is...

How can you be poor and fat?

That is an oxymoron

Only in Mmerica.....

well first american poor are nothing like poverty in the rest of the world

It was Michelle Obama's "cause" as first lady....Don't you remember all the food deserts out there? I hate to break it too her but you can't get a salad in those areas cause people weren't buying salad

^

Totally agree. Food deserts are a lie

I've never heard of a successful health food store opening in a food desert, only people wanting to open them thinking that will fix it

Darn Right we are the most obese! I refuse to lose to Mexico in that department, We are Number 1 for a reason!

@I Know a Fat Guy Its not only that he and others think the rich will stand still and just be taxed... Why in the world do they think that Anyone would want to be taxed more then necessary.... Just walked that video and it takes about taxes that effect most people, not just the rich.

also the tax on stock and bond purchases...just so stupid.....Its been tried several times and never goes well. I think Italy was the last country to try and fail with it

I lot of these policies can be googled to tell you they are bad ideas

All comes down to arrogance

“They didn’t do it right! _We_ will! Because we’re so much better as people than those others!”

@Deleted User I've only ever seen one of 2 videos from that channel, but that sucks. (Think Club/Adam said the same thing happened to his channel).

@Shadows Yep, we're dropping like flies. Not good.

I'd understand if it was just people stealing work by just re-posting, but that's not what he was doing.
