We already have a system in place to break the windows of a person both rich and poor that stuffs dollars under the bed.
Inflation.

It's hard to calculate because the ease of transferring assets globally isn't a static thing from year to year.
There's also a trickle down loss of revenue as production is discouraged.

Laffer curve is a real thing. You lose tax revenue if you raise rates too much.

It really takes a seriously drunken monkey to believe raising taxes, borrowing and printing money, and having Washington DC spend a portion of what you produce is going to lower the presently rising inflation rate.

So, yes, you are correct: progressivism is bad for democrats, and everybody else.

With the rampant FJB chants across America, do you feel nostalgic for the time before BLM took a knee and turned an entertainment venue into a mostly political arena?

It's so laughable that the progressive Democrats keep pushing the free lunch philosophy in the middle of a high inflationary period as if there are no consequences to anything Washington DC does.

That's still going in the wrong direction.
Are you one of those that thinks an infinite positive population growth is sustainable? At what point will you admit it isn't? Give me a ballpark number...12 billion people? 100 billion people?
At what point will you admit a correction needs to be made before nature makes it for us without our consent?

It's too late though. >3% Inflation is set to hit for at least 4-8 years no matter what. Could get pretty bad and ugly. Doesn't matter if they don't pass any more spending or debt at this point.

I really want an answer to this. What rational reason is there to limit a hospital's capacity to handle 3 million deaths annually while allowing services for 4 million births annually in America?
I know there are plenty of people in DC that insist we have a people shortage in America, but when you're stuck in traffic for hours, deep down do you really believe the corporate propaganda?

Vaccinated people are spreading the virus though. There's a whole lot of misinformation about that which leads vaccinated people to congregate around and spread every known virus, not just covid.
at least not directly.
What's the indirect risk of taking a pharmaceutical vaccine and spreading every known virus?
That’s what causes risk to us individually as well as the economic consequences.
Politicians do that, not the virus.
when Hospital ICU’s are completely full and refrigerator trucks are being called in to store dead bodies,
Then We obviously need more hospitals and morgues to handle a virus that killed a fraction of the population instead of hiding our collective heads in the sand arbitrarily thinking we could realistically maintain forever this outrageous disproportionate birth to death ratio because some blonde on TV or pasty faced grey haired politician in DC said we could. A ratio I think which is around 4 million births to 3 million deaths at the moment annually in America.

1. not everyone has a good education.2. not everyone makes good investments, people make mistakes.3. not everyone is born well in a well family4. people who go to prison aren't able to get a job so easily5. People who are born in a bad neighborhood will likely not make the best decisionslooks like you got a little bit of white privilege going on (let me guess "thats racist against white people")
What's skin color got to do with making good choices? Are people with the wrong skin color fated to make bad choices no matter what?
Or doubly worse, are people with the right skin color fated to make the correct life choices no matter what?
What a bullshit philosophy.
Ever watch good will hunting? You can educate yourself at a library if you made the choice to invest in yourself for the cost of some late fees.
Good clip here for sure.
What do you think of rich people like Bill Gates, Jack Dorsey, and Sundar Pichai (not a whitey) saying they would never let their kids choose to use social media even though they made billions off of it?
What does that say about the fucked up parents of all skin colors that made bad choices for their kids regarding the use of social media?
I find it absolutely ridiculous without hesitation that you believe in a sort of racial fatalism depending on the arbitrary shade of your skin as if it was some form of birth defect or disability.

And that's why casinos always make money, because there will always be suckers out there that think wealth can be decided by fate rather than choices.

I find something morally wrong with a society that holds other people responsible for your individual bad lifestyle choices.
Because that's what you are doing when you pit people that chose good choices against people who didn't.
The only way to absolve yourself of that guilt is to believe none of our choices matter and we are all victims of fate, which is a fucking dumb philosophy.

They're the companies that make the life sustaining drugs that billions of people crave and demand.If you don't trust them, you can always knock up your own medicines in your basement lab.
Oh you mean the Drugs like Oxy which are set to outright kill and permanently disable with addiction over 10 times the amount of people Covid affected this year alone?
No thanks sir. You can trust something else.
Not to mention Big Pharma created Covid in the 1st place.

European-Americans tend to value individualism and independence. They believe in responsibility for self—that individuals, not fate, control their destinies. European-Americans in general have a logical, problem-solving learning style.

Brazil is more diverse than America and isn't anywhere near as prosperous. The idea that diversity= prosperity or diversity=competence in a meritocracy needs to get flushed down the toilet where it belongs.
Ownership of private property protected by law is the reason, not "diversity"
Besides, America is becoming more monolithic in thought as the authoritative left takes over, destroying any semblance of diversity along with the laws protecting private property as we march into a new age of monolithic Marxism where all dissenters are not tolerated with violence if necessary.
America is done. We had a good run. Even the Soviet Union didn't last as long.

I don’t know if that addresses your question so if not please be a little more specific.
I'm asking you to be more specific as to how the unvaccinated or naturally vaccinated are putting the pharmaceutically vaccinated at dire risk.
What are the dangers of the pharmaceutical vaccine that can put you at risk from those people?

Catching Covid to gain antibodies endangers society further
Exactly what process endangers the vaccinated population? What exactly are the limits of the vaccine to keep the population safe?

Also, those 700k fat and elderly Americans were replaced by double by unvaxxed skinny and young invaders through the open borders in the era of Biden.

Do you think there's a real benefit to vaccinating people at extremely low risk like .001% or less like children?
How would you feel about a vax mandate for the obese only? (who are at a greater than .1% chance of dying from a simple Covid infection)

the average person definitely thinks the survival rate is far far lower than this.
But it is lower if you are obese and old.
But Biden didn't mandate vaccines for the fat and old, so there's that.
