Zero basis in fact. We’re in the wealthiest nation on the planet. Most of us live better than any previous generation. To claim all that success is completely in spite of government is ridiculous.
- SunshineTheCat 8mo agoAre you under the impression that the government created all that wealth?
- heavyset_go 8mo agoThe government literally enforces capitalism with guns and bombs lol
- alistairSH 8mo agoNot at all. But it enabled it. Or at worst didn’t prevent it.

- nozzlegear 8mo agoThis but unironically
- Yossarrian22 8mo agoTo be clear I meant this literally, I'm not sure how I could have made that more clear.

- elfly 8mo agoHave you ever looked at a dollar bill in your life. Who do you think printed it. Who signed the bill? The US can just print money and receive goods in exchange of literal paper. Or just put an extra zero in a bank account and receive goods in exchange.
