karlpilkington4 10/31/19 4:27:28 PM #1:	This might come as a surprise, but I believe Andrew Yang is the best chance this country has at not just surviving, but THRIVING. Contrary to popular belief, I don't actually support Trump as President much, I just don't like people who makeup lies about him or anyone really. Yang's stances on universal basic income are excellent. Taxing the rich will never work, we are too smart, because there are legal ways to get around it. It's why Amazon didn't pay anything in federal income last year. A VAT tax makes the most sense because you can't get around it.

legendarylemur 10/31/19 5:23:43 PM #38:	Yeah anybody who's studied economics on the most basic level should be able to agree to the logic of automation basically having very low to no downside. They don't replace jobs more than improve the overall standard of living and reduce the bottom of the barrel menial jobs. In real life, there are problems with people being unable to adapt, but in general, there will usually still be plenty of menial work available from industries that don't grow as quickly. As logical as automation being good is, this fact is not exactly an easy thing to convince people. I swear at least half the people here are on the other side of the Luddite Fallacy.

When everything is perfectly ran without bias, it doesn't make sense for things to stay as it is now.

Yeah anybody who's studied economics on the most basic level should be able to agree to the logic of automation basically having very low to no downside. They don't replace jobs more than improve the overall standard of living and reduce the bottom of the barrel menial jobs. In real life, there are problems with people being unable to adapt, but in general, there will usually still be plenty of menial work available from industries that don't grow as quickly. As logical as automation being good is, this fact is not exactly an easy thing to convince people. I swear at least half the people here are on the other side of the Luddite Fallacy. It's because they can see with their eyes that machines replacing certain jobs on a short term, but it's far harder to see what happens on a long term basis. There will always be more jobs for more horses. --- https://imgur.com/a/FU9H8 https://imgur.com/ZkQRDsR - https://imgur.com/2x2gtgP <cite>1337toothbrush posted [p:929488682] in Change My ...

It's called a value added tax. Basically you can tax things like luxury goods, and specific things that super rich companies like Apple and Amazon use on a daily basis to run their business. And what will you do when Apple and Amazon turn around and say ok your taxing us? We'll cut our workforce to make up for the profits we are losing. We'll also outsource to other countries, and not keep our money in the US to avoid other taxes. By the way, since you decided to tax us, we are going to charge you extra fees to buy our products.
