What if we taxed what people spend, not what they earn? | The-14

Another way to say this is that Marx asks “what conditions produce what actions?”
With science-bias, I see this as very objective.
The focus is structural analysis, not prescribing what “ought” to be done.
The “oughts” turn to anti-science, emotives outside of Marxism.

Imagine if we could all agree that hungry people should be fed.
Homeless people should be housed.
Sick people should receive medical care.
If basic needs were guaranteed and taken care of, society would be healthier and happier.

I hope this finds you well.
I think it is good that younger people see flaws in the system.
I also believe the polling suggests most Americans that favor “Socialism” side more with my beliefs: the Nordic Model.

It’s simple - make sure there is enough revenue to cover costs.
That DOESN’T mean cutting essential programs, but being efficient with services and creative about how we collect revenue.
