    tax the rich

    the money might well go to bezos, but if we then tax bezos, that ain’t amount to shit.

    I’m also for student loan forgiveness, but again, we never addressed the cost of school so basically we burdened future generations with debt so bankers can get paid.

    Yes, i agree, the state should not go into debt to give “free handouts”, because you’re just burdening future generations to give resources to a few greedy assholes. We have the same situation here in germany. lots of voices say “we should go into debt to pay for our expenses”, but what would realistically happen is that all that money goes to the rich, and we’re stuck with the debt. that is why i oppose going into debt. rather, the rich must be taxed at first, and then we can distribute these resources among the poor. it will cause a little bit of inflation, but not enough to outweight the benefits (IMO). the people would still on average gain a net benefit this way.
