no. communism, wherever introduced, has never worked
- PhasmaFelis 3y agoHuh? No one said anything about communism.
- heywhatupboys 3y agohe said that only in the US would work be disincentivized by high taxation. That is not the case.
- Yoric 3y agoWell, I was talking of "producing", not "work". At least in my mind, they're really not the same. Also, I'm sure that I did not mention communism. I do believe that the US has a very unique manner of looking at money, though. By the way, can you think of a country in which taxation is so high that work is disincentivized?
- heywhatupboys 3y ago> By the way, can you think of a country in which taxation is so high that work is disincentivized? Denmark, this is a very common topic here with many people like doctors saying so
- Yoric 3y agoInteresting. I don't know much about Denmark, so I can't comment.
- Shocka1 3y agoThe US is a melting pot of different philosophies, including the way they treat money. Not only do they have people who worship money, they have people that don't worship money and also everything in between, including those who hate and love taxes. I'm not so sure if we can classify a whole country into one stereotype, and to do so would most definitely be small and close-minded thinking.
- PhasmaFelis 3y agoThat still has no visible connection to communism, unless you define "communism" as "high tax rates." I am also curious to hear of any real-world countries where people choose not to work because taxes are too high.
