Someone explain this to me please
Hypothetically
A guy opens an ice cream parlor on my corner
He charges 12$ for a small ice cream, pays his workers 12$ an hour and is packed because he created a modern look in his store.
He is making money hand over fist.
He is branded an evil capitalist and Must pay more to the vaunted worker.
He is making his money by convincing others to voluntarily part with their money. Nobody is forcing anyone to buy overpriced ice cream.
Yet the richest corporation in the city by far, is free from all that.
I’m talking about the government.
They make money hand over fist by FORCING people to hand over part of their pay check for nothing in return!! (if they would just be covering police fire and Emergency services your taxes would be negligible)
Maybe they should pay their fair share to the poor and release them from their Tax burden
Then the poor would have more money to spend and the business owners would not have to fire people
A true win win.
It will never happen
Because it’s not about helping the pols.
It’s about beating the rich and keeping the poor, poor while making them think the demoncrats are trying to help them so they keep voting democrat
