i actually cant wait to raise the rent on my tenants, it would basically be like stealing their 1000 and giving it back to myself per

2019-12-01 19:24:38 UTC

on a real note, the inflation it would cause would negate most if not all of the positive intentions. maybe in the short run, several months, but in the long run, 1000 will become useless

2019-12-01 19:28:14 UTC  

think of the increase in the debt and taxes

2019-12-01 19:28:21 UTC  

insane

2019-12-01 19:28:23 UTC  

The Eu is a big meanie pants

2019-12-01 19:31:58 UTC  

@Brue that, plus the fact that you'd have to take the money from the most productive members of society in order to give it to the least productive

2019-12-01 19:36:05 UTC  

@Benjamin Henry im fine with helping the poor in society, i am not okay with an income tax, a consumption tax would work alot better, and then you can still help the poor with the revenue generated there.

you have to have something created by the government to allow for social mobility of those who do work hard and were just so happen to be born poor

2019-12-01 19:36:26 UTC  

sales tax, no income tax

2019-12-01 19:38:02 UTC  

I agree about the consumption tax, but mobility is already pretty good

2019-12-01 19:38:21 UTC  

yea im not saying improve anything

2019-12-01 19:39:23 UTC  

income tax is immoral

2019-12-01 19:39:54 UTC  

It's also explicitly prohibited in the Constitution, if I remember correctly

2019-12-01 19:40:24 UTC  

not 100% sure on that one, but there was an amendment, which nullifies the prior

2019-12-01 19:40:33 UTC  

so it technically is constitutional now

2019-12-01 19:40:41 UTC  

sadly

2019-12-01 19:41:08 UTC  

16th so sad

2019-12-01 19:46:32 UTC  

Shit, you're right

2019-12-01 19:46:52 UTC  

Oh, well

2019-12-01 19:49:40 UTC  

Anyway, though, I think it would be a lot more helpful for poor people if we 1. Cut social programs en masse, and simultaneously 2. heavily promoted charitable giving

2019-12-01 19:51:26 UTC  

@Benjamin Henry what do you think makes individuals who have money give charity to those in their community

2019-12-01 19:51:48 UTC  

Familiarity

2019-12-01 19:51:59 UTC  

@Benjamin Henry that may be one part of it

2019-12-01 19:52:09 UTC  

there are others

2019-12-01 19:56:47 UTC  

Yeah, there are things. Altruism, vanity, guilt, etc. But motivation isn't the thing I'm most worried about. It's inefficiency

2019-12-01 19:57:27 UTC  

Bureaucracy. The more middlemen, the fewer dollars actually make it to the people who need it

2019-12-01 19:57:57 UTC  

everything is about incentives

2019-12-01 19:58:49 UTC  

I know, for me personally, I'm far more likely to donate to charity if I just know where the money is actually going

2019-12-01 19:58:53 UTC  

i would go to say in the function of chance to give charity, social value would be one of the biggest factors
