White flight is the weird phenomenon where White people uproot their entire lives, leave friends and family behind, forfeit all advancement in their careers, and move to an area they have absolutely no connection to, all because Black and Brown people moved within the vicinity of their homes.
Wow, you fucking idiots can’t detect sarcasm at all.
The issue that exists today is that Capitalism has succeeded so much that the reason it succeeded is shrinking.
The reason Capitalism succeeded was because of a strong middle-class, one that was stronger than those above it. Any man, even on minimum wage, could reliably, by the time he was 30, be educated, own a home, marry, and have 3 kids. That doesn't exist anymore. And because of that, the people at the top have no competition and are growing like tumors at the common man's expense. Even if they were to get into hot water, they can run at a loss for years or lobby congress into giving them a stimulus.
You can say the same things about healthcare.
There are numerous people who exist in the US who own so much much wealth they physically could not spend it all if they tried. Bezos is worth more than the entire economy of Hungary, a country which provides all of its citizens with universal single-payer healthcare. And mind you, there's thousands of Americans just like Bezos, those with so much money they physically cannot spend it all.
It makes sense to tax these people at a rate where they can afford their business expenses, enough to invest in the future, and enough money to make the effort they went through to create and operate a business worth it. Do you want to know what that rate is?
Over 90%.
The US golden age, where the US GDP doubled every ten years, had a tax bracket of 90%.
It makes sense to tax at that rate so that you can provide additional services and opportunities to your lowest citizens so that they too can have the financial opportunity to get an education, marry, own a home, have 2.11+ children, and start their own business if they so choose.
A small investment from the highest citizens, that they'll never use, to the lowest, offers those citizens the chance, which they overwhelmingly choose, to provide more to society. A person with a college diploma generally pay more in taxes than someone who's homeless because they broke their leg, got a $20,000 hospital bill, and then had to default on their home loan.
The average American cannot afford a $400 emergency. My wheel was dented because of a pothole and cost $600. If I was the average American, I would be permanently out of the game, and my children would probably inherit my poverty.
Do you know who supports this? Tucker Carlson.
Afterthought - But I just wanted to add that the current federal minimum wage in the US is $7.25 and hasn't been increased in decades. During the golden age of American Capitalism that I descibed, where there was a 90% tax bracket, the minimum wage if adjusted for inflation was $22.50, nearly 3x higher than it is today.
How far does this mentality go?
Homosexuals are more likely to rape kids, more likely to have STDs (something like 80-90% of all STDs are carried by homosexuals), are more likely to abuse drugs, more likely to abuse their partners, etc.
All of those things harm people around them and take resources away from people in order to remedy tne issue, so do homosexuals not have the right to be homosexual?
Hence why I'm posting this here.
The average White is 2-3x older than the average Non-White.
I would rather have open borders with Arab lands than the open borders we have with the entirety of Latin and South America. Something like 1.5 million people enter the US every year from those countries, if we had open borders with Arab lands we'd get maybe 100k people a year, at most. Currently ~75k Arabs move to the US every year.
Much better to just not have any immigration whatsoever. We used to be 90% Western European White, now that number is down to 55%.
If we want to be real, America is European soil too.
Deport this shill, implying Trump ever took a break.
Exactly what I said above. Massive amounts of (il)legal immigrants have permanently turned the state Blue. Regardless of their own individual politics, 90% of the Democratic voters (chiefly Blacks and Hispanics) rely on welfare paid for by the federal government and Silicon Valley to stay afloat. I knew one guy in Santa Cruz that was 100x more Conservative than me, probably liked Pinochet and Franco back in the day, but he voted for Democrats. If it wasn't for Democratic welfare policies he wouldn't've been able to live despite making more than minimum wage and working full-time, his wife and son did too, but they still couldn't make ends meet without it.
Honestly, if we embraced a social safety net not unlike that in Sweden, Republicans would never lose another election ever again. Turns out when you can vote to not live in Weimerica yet at the same time afford to live, people like your party.
I would flip my shit if California turned Red, 10x my reaction when Pennsylvania did in 2016. Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to happen. Texas is 10x more likely to turn Blue (and probably will in 2024 because of the mass amounts of Californians and (il)legal immigrants moving there.).
I really wanted to, but I'm on a tight budget since my boss hasn't paid me in 2 months. things on the website are a bit pricier and less flashy than those on Amazon.
