@Coolitic historically we discarded the disabled as refuse unless they had some sort of worth or history

untrue

it provides a buffer

they were well taken care of

Historically we had nuclear families

until a single act was released

which kicked em all out

that had nothing to do with "safety nets"

but you left when i made the associated argument regarding your inexperience with capitalism coolitc

we used to have this thing called 'savings'

I know

that maintained both liquidity and earned interest

this was our 'saftey net' too

now, you've gotten rid of that

so inevitably, where does that weight go?

welfare

the remainder of that net

and the left didn't cause the 2008 debacle

the right did

the "left" barely existed in 2008, congressionally-speaking

This is true you wouldn't need a safety net if you actually had savings, part of that is because some of the money I might save is being taxed into a black hole

it was only right afterwards that the Dems started veering off hard left

in your eyes maybe

because in my world, you are a bit liberal

😉

...because I want to ban taxation?

no, that's not liberal

because I support traditional nuclear families?

nope

ok, but that kind of liberal isn't left-wing

LOL

Ban taxation

because you don't beleive children need beatings

@phadreus yes, something 19th century Britain almost did

or was it 18th

I forget

they were basically a minarchist state

X

again, that's not understanding the differences between government and private sector

The problem with beating your kids is that it only works in conjunction with a certain type of culture

>minarchy
