How does it benefit the rich?

With a flat tax rate someone who makes 1 million/year pays 10X more taxes than someone who makes a hundred thousand.

The rich pay taxes at an unfairly high rate.

I'm not saying that's my expectation, that's just how nature works. 20% of the people get 80% of the wealth because wealth is a direct result of value, the reason Bezos has so much money is because his companies produces the proportionate amount of value to society.

This distribution works that way in every natural system. In the rain forest 20% of the trees get 80% of the sunlight, in the animal kingdom the alpha male get's 80% of the females etc etc.

What I'm saying is it's natural for wealth to accumulate in a few people because we are creatures of nature. 20% of people produce 80% of the value in civilization and so they get the wealth, that's just the way it is we shouldn't try to "fix" it with manmade ideologies

How about No jab or I quit, there's a pretty simple solution to this and it's mass amounts of the workforce refusing to work if vaccines are mandated.

I get that it's scary and not easy thing to do but this is probably a social issue worth dieing for

Right? have you seen photos of the moon lander? The thing is literally put together with duct tape and tin foil, how did no one question that?

Also the footage of the lander taking off from the moon is laughable, it looks nothing like an object being projected by rocket but looks like it's being pulled by strings

Hmm I'm not sure about waving taxes on anyone, people need some accountability and that number seems kind of arbitrary. I still payed taxes when I was making 20k a year and I didn't die.

Perhaps poor people paying their taxes should be more an avenue of charity rather than government mandate. They still have to pay the same tax rate but they have easier access to charities where the supposed charitable ultra-rich can help them out

Well you're entitled to your opinion but I couldn't disagree more, that treads on very similar ideals to what communism stands for.

I'd rather the government just leave me and mine alone, it's not up to them who has the money

I agree flat tax is probably the closest we can hit our lifetime but I don't really agree with inheritance tax. Why is it anyones right to take money from someone just because they were left it by their parents. That was a kind thing their family did for them and broke their backs to do at certain point in the past and now their punished for it?

That doesn't make sense, I think we should just focus on getting rid of taxes, not adding more.

I'm not convinced wealth should be redistributed to people who don't produce. People who produce the most value should have the most money because they're going to put it into the greatest use.

Power on the other hand, that we can talk about being distributed fairly. Wealth and state should definitely be separated. Public servants should not be getting rich off their positions.

I read that one!

It's crazy, I didn't even know there was conspiracy around the Boston Marathon until I found this website. I won't say I know for 100% certain it was false flag/staged event but I will say I'm pretty damn convinced it is

So you're saying they chose men who were sterile to cover the effects radiation would have so that their story is more believable?

I mean that wouldn't surprise me, I also wouldn't be surprised if the government sterilized them by force.

Did you read the article???

*Able, according to modern NASA engineers they have to solve how to get through the Van Allen radiation belt if they're to send someone to the moon or mars. Why do they need to solve that? They did it with 60's technology.

Also according to those same people the radiation should be so strong with the lack of protection the old craft had that it would have killed the astronauts shortly after. Being sterile would be the least of their worries.

Have you ever looked at a picture of the lunar lander? It's literally put together with duct tape. You think that piece of junk adequately shielded astronauts from space debris and deadly amounts of radiation?

I don't buy it,

  1. because of all the counter evidence showing how unlikely/impossible the different feats were
  2. there is massive incentive for another powerhouse country like China to put a man on the moon, all they do is dickwave. So that doesn't pass the BS test either.

I think they just haven't looked into it and it happened so long ago people don't question it.

If you were to bring up all the discrepancies I think you could red pill a lot of people

I think the government has framed the tax debate to always be in favour of them, all people can talk about is who should we tax more? when instead we should be allies and push for lower taxes for everyone and for the government to focus on being more frugil and efficient.

True, I don't know if it's newspeak I haven't looked into it enough. It seems plausible that gender and sex could be different but I think it's absurd to think they're decoupled.

So male would have the gender: man. But then again you're right this whole idea that gender and sex are different could be brainwashing.

Now I'm not saying we never landed a spacecraft on the moon, I don't see any reason to not believe that however the claim that we put living breathing humans on the moon in the 60's and yet NO country has been able to replicate that in 50 years even with all out technological and material advancements is quite laughable if you think about it.

I always struggle with this decision, it's not easy to do with all the social pressure and threat of police ticketing you.

Where I'm at right now is I wear the mask only when other people are around and it a statement to put it on after I've been in the building for a while or after I make eye contact in the elevator, that's my way of letting people know I'm not taking it seriously.

Perhaps I'll be brave enough to no mask it soon

I agree and disagree, I think individual people are amazing and reasonable creatures that if you have a 1 on 1 discussion you can really make progress.

However, when you put people in a group they revert to savages and act according to the lowest common denominator.

Put that group on the internet where there's anonymity and you really can't expect anything other than the worst of humanity.

Listen I'll give you an upvote but you need to understand that the possibility exists that it's the opposite too. YOU may be in a bubble just as much as they are, as much as I like TD it's as biased about Donal Trump as r/politics is for the Democrats. I get that it's fun to be so gung ho trump train all the time but that place gets whipping into an echo chamber ferver a lot of the time. Occam's razor would suggest that what you're experiencing is the result of an echo chamber, the whole world is a slave to this right now, everyone is living in their own little reality and so it's difficult to discern objective truth.

Just remember, the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle so when you hear something on TD go look at the opposite view point on r/politics so you can understand the 2 sides of the coin.

No no no, this is not possible, the government always has our best interest at heart, that would never happen here, not as long as my guy is in office!
