Ignorance is not some genetic trait treated with medication but a temporary condition that can be solved with education.
Schizophrenia is neither indicative of nor required for a person to be fooled or coerced into paying money to the bourgeoisie.
My genuinely schizophrenic friends really don’t like when schizophrenia is used as the punchline of a joke.
I mean, taxes help pay for roads. I want there to be taxes. We just need the rich to pay their fair share.
Yep, but usually the middle and low classes are the ones which receives the more negative impact. There can be others way to get funds, like having oil stations owned by the state, and using their profit as taxes.
Only if that’s how the system is set up. Tax everything sold by a certain percent. Tax businesses on their stock value. Tax income and net wealth over a certain amount. There are ways to enable taxes that protect the poor. But, to be fair, I am heavily in favor of a strong social security net. I want the weak, poor and unhealthy to know where they will be sleeping tonight and eating tomorrow.
I agree in principle, but sales taxes are a bad idea, because they are regressive. That means, because poor people spend a larger proportion if their income, their income is taxed (through sales taxes) at a higher rate than the income of more wealthy people.
What would actually be a better idea is to have a higher income tax for the higher tax brackets, but also tax wealth and inheritance much more, that would be things like stocks, real estate etc, which the wealthy use to borrow against to avoid taxes (because they don’t pay taxes on the borrowed money).
What if the profit doesn’t cover the cost of building and maintaining the roads?
Something aren’t meant to have profit. If you’re health is a right, it has no price.
Probably it does, but even if it doesn’t there must be a way not involving taxes
Not all taxes are regressive.
😎 “Not all larceny is regressive”
You can simply compensate people for work labored. Food distribution is a great motivator.
So you’re saying we should rob you and enslave you, until the buildings and roads are built?🤔
No, I’m saying I prefer to live in anarchy and freedom
I’m not replying to you, but to @sbv@sh.itjust.works
Am I missing the joke, or is this potentially offensive towards people with schizophrenia?
Get a life
Ah yes. I forgot we’re in the MAGA era of the world. My apologies.
You are the one behaving like an ICE officer with your interrogations
Using liberal dog whistles for likes. Cool. Lemmy can see through it.
I’m schizophrenic and I don’t pay taxes
What’s a “schizophrenic civilization”?
The one where you’re living on, sorry :/
Never thought Liberals had major schizophrenia.
I honestly just thought they were greedy duplicitous people who never hesitated to oppress others if it meant having a better lifestyle than the victims.
In psychology, we just call it dissonance.Exactly. Not sure if all the liberals, but the woke division of them are the worst haters ever, in a endless war against common sense and coherence. They behave like police officers demanding explanations and rectification all the time
common sense
Stop believing on this myth. You and I have the curse of knowing that Liberals are authoritarians when it conveniences their greedy aspirations.
