Just a reminder that #capitalism does not equal #freemarket. #China dumped a ton of startup money into a lot of companies, assuming that 95% would fail. Those 5% went on to make billions in a free market with a ton of healthy competition. Norway also holds a majority share in all of its companies. Now the government owns a majority stake, and all profits go directly back to taxpayers. The best rise to the top, and the rest die, like free markets are supposed to work. Meanwhile, in the land of the free, we dump tons of #subsidies into giant #corporations that make enough money to lobby politicians for it, and we get no profits back from our taxes. We give around $1T a year, or 1/4th of our yearly spending on corporate subsidies, and never see a dime back from it as they continue to dodge taxes. Capitalism is about who owns the means of production, and it's never the taxpayers or the workers. -

After moving to #Germany and seeing the high #QualityOfLife in #Europe in general, I started questioning: #capitalism and the #FreeMarket will always win over socialism? Youtubers #TheBlackForestFamily try to settle the debate once and for all.
Comparing #American & #German #wages, #salaries, #taxes, and #SocialContributions to find out: Who actually has greater #DisposableIncome?
