Atta - there is a direct correlation to standard of living and the desire to have children. Even in China the one child policy is obsolete. The answer? government needs to stop wrecking the third world. |

People want to work, at what they enjoy working at. They don't want to work because it's "productive" and lines someone else's pockets, while they barely get by. Give people the opportunity to do things they love while still managing to survive, and they'll work very hard at it. Currently most of the working population slogs along at jobs they pretty much hate, or can more or less tolerate, because that's how they manage to have a roof over their heads and food in their stomachs. |

So then it is fine with you that people are taxed on their productivity to 'line someone else's pockets". as is the case with universal basic income and all other forms of welfare?

True, Ayn Randists have the insufferable burden of having all reasoning fly directly over their not-so-lofty heads. |

Curious when you will begin to bring reason into this conversation. My guess is you will drop some regressive memes then pound sand. |

So, what I hear you saying is that it is fine to trap people in poverty so that they have to work at drudgery their whole life long just to provide themselves with food and shelter, but it is a damn travesty to tax the rich. That pretty much it? |

No - I am asking why you think non-existent wage slavery is unacceptable while very existent taxation is fine? |

I haven't mentioned the rich once in this thread. For the record - no one should be taxed. What fecking misery do you keep babbling about? Edited by estonianman, Apr 22 2016, 06:12 PM.

What productive misery? You are bordering on marxist rhetoric here. You already own your own production ( with exception to what the government taxes from you). The problem is that most people are not productive on their own, but can trade their production for a better benefit. yes some people hate working. tough s**t. |
