Time to suggest equal time for the other side?

Absolutely. Our kids NEED to know how capitalism raises entire societies out of poverty better than any other system - AINEC.

Capitalism doesn't raise entire societies out of poverty. Capitalism's biggest fans don't make that argument. Didn't any of you girls take any economics courses?

Anyway, the converse of Black Lives Matter is that they don't.

Then what does?

And, in fact capitalism’s biggest fans, indeed even its intellectual antithesis, say otherwise. Even Marx acknowledged capitalism’s unique ability to reduce and often entirely limit, scarcity.

Interested in your serious response here.

Regulated capitalism with progressive taxation can do it, but that's not what the TugCon universe is preaching. Unregulated, barely taxed capitalism is their ideal, and that does NOT lift "entire societies out of poverty". As every economist worth a damn knows, unregulated capitalism explodes like a diesel engine without a governor.

The funny thing is, the die hard anarcho-capitalists here think capitalism is fragile. But capitalism doesn't whither in the presence of regulation; it thrives. It does so because it is vital and it can harness human motivations to increase wealth for a society, but not without taking its classic problems into account as well.

And by "barely taxed" the Dazzler is referring to tax rate of 25%.

Flat taxers are morons. You can get the tax code to incentivize and disincentivize all sorts of things when you're not a simpleton.

Which does nothing to address your fucking lie about people here are advocating for a "barely taxed" completely unregulated form of Capitalism. But I hope your strawman ass fuck makes your feel better Dazzler.

25% for everyone is barely taxed for the most well off of us. We're not heavily taxed now.

Who said 25% for everyone my strawman ass fucking Kunt of friend? Taxing anyone at 25% isn't "barely taxing" them. You're a stupid as you are dishonest Dazzler.

So you want just a top rate of 25%? The middle class will get to make up the difference. The poor don't have the money.

You could always cut spending and live with in your means of what a 25% tax rate would provide. I want limited government. Unlike you I'm a real conservative and not a fucking fraud like you.

I'd do fine in your system and my tax cut would be enormous. But being conservative also means living in hard-headed reality. Limited government isn't ever coming back. Maybe you'd still want small government even if you could foresee what it would necessarily mean, and I'd love to know which entitlements you advocate we default on. But 90% of Daddy's base would run like Hell from your small government. So short of your vision being imposed upon us by an outside force, it isn't happening.

I'd like to be able to fly unassisted, but I don't pretend or base my politics in anticipation that it will ever happen.
