2019-12-26 18:54:51 UTC  

Yeah I've yet to meet a libertarian that I like other than Ron Paul

2019-12-26 18:59:16 UTC  

Yeah tbh

2019-12-26 18:59:25 UTC  

Libertarians are very soft core

2019-12-26 19:15:02 UTC  

Lower taxes and increased government spending increases real output almost proportional to price increases

2019-12-26 19:16:13 UTC  

So it depends on which you value more: inflation being high but output being high, or inflation being low but productivity being low as well

2019-12-26 19:16:29 UTC  

Its pretty much a balancing act when it comes down to it

2019-12-26 19:53:28 UTC  

"Does welfare really help people get out of poverty or does it just encourage laziness?"

Depends on the welfare. Generally speaking (in the U.S.), no. Someone receiving food stamps and disability isn't going to be able to afford their rent, healthcare, or education, much less provide for their family (if they have one). There's still a great incentive to be productive and have a job, because it simply isn't possible to live entirely on welfare under most circumstances. It is possible if you budget and already own your home, etc.
Under ideal circumstances (ideal, in my view, which you may very well disagree with), the government should provide enough welfare to live comfortably on, as well as even basic housing, which could be accomplished relatively cheaply with 3D-printing.

I still don't think it'd make people lazy. Most people need some fulfillment, which is a social life, job, or drugs, etc. People will still want to work. However, automation will force job loss and cause a need for more welfare anyway.
But besides that, I also believe people should be able to take a break for college, mental health, or whatever else and not be forced to suffer so badly financially.

maybe the poor should just die

2019-12-26 20:16:54 UTC  

Lmao

2019-12-26 20:20:43 UTC  

Its simple really.
imprison the destitute and homeless to use as slaves. Gather in quantity all the mentally retarded, grind them into meat supplements that will feed the slaves.

2019-12-26 20:36:35 UTC  

That's just encouraging Jews in your government to manipulate the law and economy in their favor

2019-12-26 22:10:58 UTC  

We need welfare

2019-12-26 22:11:09 UTC  

Maintain the just price of bread, of rent, of everything

2019-12-26 22:11:23 UTC  

wait are we allowed to discuss the JQ?

2019-12-26 22:11:24 UTC  

and help subsidize the needy

2019-12-26 22:11:30 UTC  

lmao thought that would be banned

2019-12-26 22:11:32 UTC  

A poor underclass is most likely to revolt

2019-12-26 22:11:37 UTC  

And on this server, no

2019-12-26 22:11:48 UTC  

well uh

2019-12-26 22:11:49 UTC  

Mind you, you'll be called an idiot, and rightfully so, by quite a few people

2019-12-26 22:11:50 UTC  

look up

2019-12-26 22:11:52 UTC  

If you bring it up

2019-12-26 22:12:10 UTC  

hmmm

2019-12-26 22:12:17 UTC  

do you have a wikipedia page?

2019-12-26 22:12:24 UTC  

I need to check early life

"Light was frequently neglected by his father when he was sober, during the nights his father came back drunk he would be sexually assaulted alongside his sister"

2019-12-26 23:32:13 UTC  

Kinky

>Talking about sexual abuse in 'early life'

2019-12-26 23:32:35 UTC  

This checks out

2019-12-26 23:35:45 UTC  

Well, in the United States, welfare actually makes it harder to get out of poverty via higher effective marginal tax rates

2019-12-26 23:38:15 UTC  

"Getting more money actually makes it harder to have more money"

2019-12-26 23:40:23 UTC  

I mean it's true. When you're rising from poverty your effective marginal tax rate can be as high as 60%, which dissuades people from getting higher paid jobs

2019-12-26 23:48:48 UTC  

At which point does it reach 60%?

2019-12-26 23:59:47 UTC  

Checked

2019-12-27 00:13:11 UTC  

@Asdrubal Their faggotry will get criticized by the philosopher in the neighboring city-state.

2019-12-27 00:16:03 UTC
