  2. Shhh. Nobody tell this guy that the US govt back in the old free market days heavily favored some companies over others by high tariffs that almost completely funded the federal govt.🤫🤫🤫🤪 "From 1790 to 1860, average tariffs increased from 20 percent to 60 percent before declining again to 20 percent. From 1861 to 1933, which Irwin characterizes as the "restriction period", the average tariffs increased to 50 percent and remained at that level for several decades. From 1934 onwards, which Irwin characterizes as the "reciprocity period", the average tariff declined substantially until it leveled off at 5 percent." 1790 tariffs 95% of fed budget 15% rate $4.4 million collected ($131 million in 2022) 1830 tariffs 88% of fed budget 35% rate $22 million collected ($712 million in 2022) Kept around 80%-90% for much of the 18th and 19th centuries.

  3. If the labour party were classic labour, with the exhoribitant housing prices, they would probably NHS it (eg make a national housing service that had civil servants build houses and offer to families or roomies for free, paid completely through taxes).

  4. Exactly. The level of taxation is hardly representative of a capitalist country. You can have a socialist country that has low taxes or a capitalist country with high taxes. Capitalism means you have privately owned capital ("those durable produced goods that are in turn used as productive inputs for further production" of goods and services. A typical example is the machinery used in a factory. At the macroeconomic level, "the nation's capital stock includes buildings, equipment, software, and inventories during a given year"). Socialism implies that the certain capital (the means of production) are owned by society (usually through the govt). Legal security has nothing to do with the economic system. You can have capitalist countries with lawless gangs, corrupt judges who accept bribes, and crime through the ceiling. Capitalism has nothing to do with democracy. Capitalist countries can be as authoritarian dictatorship as it's communist counterpart (eg south korea prior to late 80s).

  5. @24killsequalMOAB  Sorry, but thats the same "no true scotsman" fallacy that socialists use when saying true socialism doesn't end up as authoritarian dictatorships and poor. The capitalist system is used by both democracies and dictatorships.

  9. Big businesses undercut smaller businesses until the smaller businesses couldn't compete anymore and went bankrupt, then the big businesses raised their prices. China is just doing this at the global level. It's the big business.

  11. I disagree with being able to sanction (people or countries). Only the UN can legally sanction or declare war by international law. That being said, could always use bitcoin or even gift cards. The govt shouldn't know what you spend money on.

  14. If your home is paid off, but you still have regular bills as well as groceries, etc, how does $50,000 or even $100,000 cover you until you die? And most people don't know how long they'll live so it's hard to factor that, isn't it?

  15. Is Australia more centralized than Canada or less? Always thought Canada was more centralized since it had provinces instead of states, and lieutenants-governor rather than governors.

  22. What if everyone got universal dividend from the sovereign wealth fund annually? No payroll tax, etc. Or What if we could retire after 20 years of work and receive 50% of last years salary (similar to how the us military pension functions)?

  29. Cheques and gift cards. Also, if landlines, the credit card machine should work regardless of location. I suspect after the govt Eliminates cash, many older folks and self-conscious folks would just use cheques.

  31. Surprised it didn't all but disappear back in 2020 😷. Many people were disinfecting and wiping change down. Card swipers and tappers didn't have any physical exchange between people (unless a person stuck their fingernails in the card reader.

  37. Fdr was more for workers rights, right to unionize, and the freedom from want. This "left" is more concerned about identity and expression, while giving lipservice to pay increases. Go look at videos from second thought to see how an actual socialist (you know, the lefties) see America. It isn't moving to the left at all. The system is stuck in the ratchet effect

  41. Amazon would make a killing if they not only were able to make their own car, but get past lobbyists backed us law that prevents car manufacturers from directly selling to consumers. They currently must go through the middlemen of car dealerships. That means tedious purchase arrangements and more costs.
