I upvoted and agree with you, but how do you stop demanding infinite growth out of the economy? Do you go after the shareholders and taxing the rich a lot more would fix that? Serious questions.
Well, yes. The shareholders are the ones demanding growth and profits that don’t go anywhere beyond their pockets. Tax the rich, and remove the incentive to profit infinitely.
Damn you’re smart! To let the rest of us know how smart you are, I have a few questions you can answer for us:
Explain how fewer young workers can produce enough in taxes to run the country.
Explain how a dwindling tax base will support the elderly.
Explain how to avoid an economic collapse as fewer and fewer people require fewer and fewer goods and services.
Some of y’all have the economic understanding of an angry 15-yo.
So these are resolved by:
Increase taxes for the rich people.
Stop demanding infinite growth out of economy, so that stopping that growth isn’t labeled “collapse”
