Did you know that "eat the #rich" was first a #philosophy concept?
Limitarianism is fundamentally the study of when it might be #ethical to put limitations on citizens in a governed society. It's a case-based theory, not a political system.
It asks questions like: is #wealth ever individual? What is the wealth limit?
& questions it isn't positing, like: If no one is ultra-rich, should no one be #poor? Is limitarianism virtue #ethics or justifiable without perfectionist views?
Billionaires don’t like Ottawa’s capital gains tax hike, but you should: It’s an overdue step toward making our tax system fairer
“We don’t think it’s fair that a teacher or electrician pays taxes on 100% of their income while a multimillionaire pays taxes on only 50%,” said Trudeau
I find the belief that #leftists are mad at the #rich and powerful because of envy is frankly insulting. We don't think anyone should have that much money or power because it turns them into a twisted horrible human being and at some point they had to exploit others or the environment to get that money. If no one has that much money, all of us have a little more. If no one has that much power, ALL of us are a little more power to make our world better.
Did you know that the 1st mass poisoning was fabricated?
In 331 BC, many #rich men had died & ~200 #Roman women were put on trial.
A slave revealed the truth: the rich ladies were poisoners.
The accused were asked to drink their #poison & promptly died. The officials declared them insane.
The #problem is that this doesn’t make sense.
The women had no political agenda, all wealthy men had food tasters & the accused were willing to drink their potions.
"Walking down the long hallways, I took deep, greedy breaths. There was a complete absence of odor, yet somehow the air felt bright, abundant—the opposite of stuffy, the inverse of stale."
"Congressional #Republicans' efforts to cut IRS funding show that they prioritize letting the wealthiest Americans and big corporations evade their taxes over cutting the deficit," said the director of the National Economic Council.
The Internal Revenue Service says it could collect around $560 billion largely from rich tax cheats and big corporations over the next decade—
The NIESR offers more evidence of what we already knew; the #Tories have overseen a major reduction in living standards for the less well-off in the UK.
Government by the #rich for the rich was always going to have this effect, and if you think its merely circumstances & events that have caused this decline in general economic well-being, I'm afraid you've really not been paying attention.
if you want to know how the Tories get away with it - look to our corrupt media!
