@mikeshultz1007 You don't know what you're talking about if you think flat tax rates are a solution to anything. Flat tax rates will increase poverty, hunger and homlessness by driving the income inequality even further.

Sure, but leave the 80s politics out of it! Ronald Reagan put the nail in the coffin of our econome and then proceeded to burn it all to the ground.

@mikeshultz1007 Let me guess. You think you're gonna be extremely successful one day and you on't want to be taxed fairly. You want poor people to pay more than they can and rich people to pay even less than they pay nowadays, which is close to zero. You do so, because you're 100% convinced you're gonna be up there some day. It's sad that the people who rig the game have convinced you that you're part of their club.

@rajashashankgutta4334 "capitalism is based on consentual interactions": Lmfao, no it's not. It's not "consentual" to tell the working class to work or starve and to buy new stuff or get left behind. That's not consent, that's manipulation.

@GF-hg7op "the relationship between employers and employees is voluntary": It's not "voluntary", because if we don't work at all times, we cannot afford food, water, a roof over our heads, electricity or any other BASIC NEEDS. We literally cannot say not to a job, regardless of how badly we are being paid. The working class and poor have to work every chance we get. We are worse off under capitalism, then we were in the middle ages. Why? Because int eh middle ages we were allowed to live in one of our landlords houses while we worked for them. Under capitalism, not even a roof over one's head is given to people, which is the bare mionimum living beings need next to water and food.

@GF-hg7op I have already debunked EVERYTHING you say in your first paragraph, which is complete BS. And since you clearly didn't read what I wrote, I won't repeat myself. If you did read what I wrote, you obviously still don't understand it. "you can blame your government": Jesus Christ, @Monkey D.Luffy! You are brainwashed through and through. If it wasn't for government, we'd all have starved a long time ago. Corporations don't give a f**k about people. They only care about profit. Just look at Scandinavian people and their countries. They have the strongest government in all of the world, that takes care of it's citizens and provides great education, healthcare, infrastructure and many more things for them with the taxes the people pay, all while keeping Corporations in check and punishing them hard for crimes against their people. "make things more expensive instead of cheaper over time": That's literally what corporations do, not governments, lmfao. You can even find intervies on YouTube from CEOs saying that if the government didn't constantly intervene, the corporation would price gauge their products, such as drugs, even more.

@cp3190 Dude, actually provide evidence for your claims. No, every country in Europe is socialist (which is not the same as communist), which is in opposition to capitalism. That's why I moved here and I ain't comming back to the US as long as there is Capitalism in place there.

@charadreemurr8673 Democrazy is a form of political representation, socialism is a form of financial system for a state. They are not in competition, so why would I mention democracy in an argument of capitalist vs. socialist system? Of course they are democracies as well..

@cp3190 Way to completely pull stats out of your @$$<, @JAM. 80% of millionaires self-made? Lmfao, no. They inherited their wealth from their forefathers. "The game is rigged for those with brains": Lmao, no. It's rigged for those with a good upper middle class wealth and the people above. The US is no meritocracy. "No wonder people from other countries ... take your job": Oh, I hope they can take my old job, because I left the country. xD Love me some cheap healthcare, great education, high quality infrastructure, not a single cent of debt due to student loans (thank you, free college), strong worker unions, the cheapest medicine possible, and tons of basic human rights that are considered priviledges for the rich in the US. Also, the people who come to the US are from war-torn countries with dictators, economical crisies and no human rights. They come to the US, because of the propaganda on how every men there is equal and free, and life is awesome. What they don't realize is that minorities and non-english speakers are not welcome by the right wing of the country. Pocs fall far more often victim to the unjust system of cops and the (in-)"justice system". These things and the ones i mentioned, that are far better in Europe, are all things that they'll only find out as soon as they are there.

@charadreemurr8673 Again, Socialism and Democracy are not in competition, so why would I meintion them? Way to strawman, lmfao...

@charadreemurr8673 I agree with your last sentence. I would absolutely prefer that system as well. The clostest one can get to it on this planet, is in Scandinavian countries and the Netherlands.
