yeah, though just the normal progressive tax
Again that is post scarcity
you don't have to tax them more cuz people don't need that much to stay around
Again, are Americans willing to let a fraction of 1% of the population have greater than 80% of all wealth?
Post scarcity is once the robots can replace themselves, removing all need for labor
Once humans are no longer needed for labor you have post scarcity
They can
Yes, they are willing to
Then why did they vote in Trump?
idc, as long as they are not above the law.
>post scarcity is just automated labour
No lol
cuz the choice for them is no job and 80% wealth to 1%
Or a job, and 80% wealth to 1%
in addition to trump sounding more reasonable than dems to,
racial tentions caused by dems
basically people just not liking Dems very much
ppl voted for trump because hillary was corrupt.
enforcing the law, unless you could...pay.
and you need automated labor for post scarcity,
Else you make the remaining jobs pointless cuz the benefits are too small so people stop working
More people are voting Dem than Republican. Just people in the wrong places to make a change so far.
thats why you have electorial college
else big cities decide life for the small states
Yeah, so the cities who don't know how food is made can't kill farmers with their policies
the popular vote was won soley by California votes
Trump lost popular vote by like 2 million,
Hillary got 4 million from cali alone
Look at the map by county. Most people who vote dem control a small portion of the land. It's like Kings controlling the peasants.
food doesn't just fall from the sky?
depends where you live Paradox
I'm still not sure as economic inequality grows that people will be ambivalent about it.
Depends on the rate quality of life grows for the poor.
^
The poor in the us are already rich by third world standards.
if you give a busdriver 1 million and you keep 99 million,
Do you think he'll care that you kept 99?
How do you think the poor would take to you raising the price of food?
Because someone had the audacity to figure out how to lower it.
Really, I have little skin in the game. I'm set and my kids are well on thier way. I've already paid for thier college degrees, for example. No debt for them. Still, I see pressure rising and would hate to see things explode.
And how do you know the market is causing this growning wealth inequality
And not the government keep people from making their own businesses and generating their won wealth
pressures rise cuz the quality of life is droping for americans
due to high taxes and low income
not cuz of the wealth inequality
Popular vote is stupid to bring up anyways.
Popular vote is irrelevant by design
