what would it take to make that happen? what would it take to make this happen? it's funny people are happy to let creditors tax everyone at 20% (like a shitty credit card with a 2k limit is what's used to buy lattes), but bring up generating real wealth for a huge percentage of the population that has nothing, and oh noes this is against everything we stand for. this is why we can't have nice things. minimum income, yes, forced savings, no. yes i would like 2k per month for free, but no i don't want to save 2k per year so i can have 500k when i am 60.

> What would it take to make that happen? Dismantling the capitalist system and giving workers control of the means of production? Or at least taxing capital at the same rate as income? I'm not entirely sure in which direction your sarcasm is running, but if that's what you're proposing, count me in. Edit: nevermind, your edit makes it clear that we disagree here.
