We were talking federal funds, that's what I was referring to. I'm well aware MediCal covers immigrants; and I'd argue they should get coverage as they pay taxes after all!

We have more shit, that's true. And advancements in medicine have reduced child mortality and lifespans. Worker wealth is absolutely not relative to the overall wealth in this country; that disproportionately goes to the top 1% (we&#x2

The top 0.01% payed an effective rate of 50-75% in the 40s. That is drastically higher than today. Just because the wealthy found ways out of the full 90% doesn't mean the taxation rates were a huge factor in the standard of living t

Where are you getting this idea to at IPOing makes workers situations better?! Citation needed! Most of the time these public companies do regular mass layoffs just to make their investors happy to do short term stock price manipulation so

What are you even talking about? So if someone (you mean an entire, large company with many employees) offers public shares and people buy them, then what happens in your mind? I'm genuinely curious. If I, this newly IPOed founder, 100

Wait, you mean like how all the rich people work for the US government, own all its popular media and pay near 0% tax? I didn't realize the US was the Soviet Union, how ironic!

So these people make very little money on their business yet think someday they'll be able to sell this business for a lot of money? Sounds like they might need a reality check; who's going to buy an unprofitable business anyways

Sorry, what asset sales are poor people making while earning no income? Is this a common thing in Australia cause it's not here in the US. If you're saying instead that it applies to people living off their investments, then I hav

What's your point about increased capital gains? Taxing income based on ownership should be higher than income via actual labor. It's insane that's not the case in most places.

I wonder what would happen to costs if we had a 90%+ tax rate on the ultra wealthy... maybe if all these record profits were instead funneled back into society everyone would be better off AND prices would drop... a system like this would b

So if I'm correct, your post basically implies that individual voters are 100% responsible for everything, is that your claim? That billions in lobbying into political campaigns, advertising, etc have no effect on how people think or v

There are no leftists in power in the US government outside of maybe a very small handful. We have not had a leftist president or majority ever, unless you just group neo-liberal democrats into that bucket, which would just be wrong... Even

I think the thing that gives human developers a leg up is the ability to read between the lines of a spec and have the ability to intuit the expected output more than an LLM in many cases. The human their cumulative experience over a career
