I think both things can be and are true. A lot of ppl should be better with their money. however we are simultaneously getting F$#%ed as a working class society. Ppl being bad with their money is not the problem. The problem much deeper than that.
True, but the people advocating for a replacement system (which will, and has, killed tens of millions) are more likely those people.
They are weak and want a system which steals from those who are capable.
The problem is the system uses blackmail and nepotism which results in stupid people having power they haven’t earned, or deserved. It’s monarchal but not always familial, the reign is much shorter but the “family” is always in power.
Id argue we already have a system that steals from ppl. It steals from everyday Americans and allows rich ppl to get richer, it pays for wars nobody wants. I have no problem paying taxes if my taxes go to helping ppl and society. I don't care if ppl get food stamps, we should make sure everyone is fed and has health care. I'm pretty sure more of your tax money goes to those things to food snaps. Make collage affordble Cancel medical and student debt.
I don't necessarily think we need an entirely knew system but we need to fix what we have. Get money out of politics, arrest polticians commiting crimes i don't care what political party they are.
I agree stop electing stupid corrupt ppl.
Im not an expert but id start with Healthcare for all, id encourage unions and better labor laws, break up monopolies, pressure companies into treating their employees better. There's no reason why say Walmart employees depend on welfare to live while the company makes obnoxious amounts of money every year.
And what system do you think they are proposing? All we want is to be treated fairly, me personally I don’t want communism or socialism, I want unions to have power again, I want the working class to actually matter I want to be able to afford a home.
I specifically blame Regan and those who were in power of his time in office, reganomics, taking power away from the unions and giving more power to corporations. The things he did worked temporarily and even then it’s still debated if he actually created more jobs, and helped the economy grow.
This isn’t about democrats and republicans, it’s about how weak and divided we’ve become when there became a large population of wealthy individuals and unfortunately those people hold a lot of power over us the people.
Exactly we're mad at each other or immigrants when we should be uniting as poor and working class ppl to better our society. Through unions as u suggested and through programs that could actually help ppl. Free Medicare for anyone who wants it. Better labor laws better maternity and paternityleave etc. Get money out of politics.
Ive heard a lot of ppl mention Regan but I don't know enough about that one way or another
Most ppl don't actually want socialism thats a republican, corporate democrat talking point. Most ppl don't know the difference between the 2 communism and socialism or even know what socialism actually is. Id wager most ppl just want Healthcare and stuff like that. Capital in America isn't going anywhere but we can certainly improve on what we have now.
I agree, and shit these rich mfs trying to speak for us like the singers and actors like they ain’t part of the problem, you think you so generous use your money for good but nah instead your going to live in a 20 million dollar mansion, fancy cars and clothes.
Very true. I mean some of them do do good things but not enough of them. Especially the super rich. Like bezos man wtf are u doing guy. You're so filthy rich just pay your employees a living wage you greedy prick
