So, we should subsidize things that people like? Should we subsidize sugar?
Most Americans are eating far more meat than doctors recommend.
- nemo44x 6y agoIt's a representative democracy. People vote for representatives that then propose bills and spending policy and vote on them. Elect officials or run for office yourself if you think your ideas are better and more attractive. Who should be the authority for what society finds value in, which policies are invoked, how taxes are distributed and spent if not the representatives of the people? Clerics? Doctors? Lawyers? Scientists? Sociologists? Bartenders?
