Everyone gets mad at me when I say propaganda. But just take a step back for one moment to consider the preposterousness of this wealth inequality meme. A San Franciscan has a cost of living index that is ten times higher than a resident o

I agree, wealth and power are closely related right now. But why? We could focus our energies on the distribution of power instead of the distribution of wealth. We could create a world where power and wealth were not so closely correlat

You are right, a discussion of inequality would not be propaganda. But this piece presupposes a solution for a perceived problem and appeals to the popular without supporting its conclusions. The Guardian has a long history of leftist puff

I'd prefer a world where propaganda wasn't mistaken for journalism. I think it's important to label things what they are. Why is this piece propaganda? Because it presupposes a solution for a perceived problem and appeals t

Who cares about socialist propaganda like this? There is no evidence that "equality" in the distribution of wealth is good for middle class and low income persons. For example, if the distribution were more equal on a relative ba

Sorry, but 25% of a persons salary for two years is a ridiculous amount of money. With a first year programmer making $75-$85k this cost will be similar to college debt. Will these payments qualify as tuition and be tax deductible? That c

This tired liberal arts approach of mandatory enlightenment is exactly why we have students graduating with tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt with no marketable skills. Students can become a well-rounded person on their own t

The author of this piece should not fret. Soon enough computers will program themselves, and they will be vastly superior in this task to their human counterparts. Perhaps then the author will bask in the glory of programming perfection w

How ironic that this ruthless Bolshevik gave her speech to a crowd in Athens advocating rule by majority, near the spot where Socrates was once sentenced to death by a majority of Athenians.

I hope they move to my town. Do you see a problem with SF taxing Uber, then spending Uber's tax money to protect Uber's competitors by suing Uber?

Uber here is your chance to stand up to a tyrant. Move that shiny headquarters and your tax domicile to a business friendly jurisdiction, and leave San Francisco to stew in its nest.

This article is inaccurate, or at least, omits every detail that would seem to counter a quasi-socialist position. The United States is the only industrialized nation that imposes taxation of all income regardless of origin on its citizens.

More socialist propaganda. The Economic Policy Institute was founded in 1986 by Jeff Faux, who was previously the co-director of the National Center for Economic Alternatives (NCEA). As its name suggests, the NCEA specialized in offering “a
