    "Don't rise to the clickbait , don't jump to conclusions, instead read the article".
    Conservatives need to read this one.

  26. This is what many Americans call socialism…

    this is what they don’t want their taxes paying for. This is what Project 2025 and the Trump administration say need to be cut, and what individual responsibility and empowerment should take care of. These are some of the programs many Americans say are used by lazy loafers who don’t want to work. And, no, nobody pays for their own Social Security and Medicare benefits - Both are a collective risk using an insurance concept. Americas social safety net Social Security - Retirement, […]

  27. Denmark vs. United States

    Some Americans are obsessed with doing away with their version of socialism, as inaccurate as it may be. Socialism is not a system providing a strong social safety net. But there is something more important in comparing high taxes with risk and true out of pocket costs. Lower taxes are not necessarily a net benefit and definitely do not spread risk financial stress equally. Here is a summary of what people in Denmark receive for their high taxes. • Pensions, unemployment, and social […]

  28. Not all #millionaires oppose higher #taxes.

    'Nearly 400 millionaires and #billionaires call for higher taxes on super-rich
    (This article is more than 5 months old)

    'Mark #Ruffalo, Brian #Eno and Abigail #Disney sign letter timed for #WEF in Davos saying wealthy are buying #political influence'

    'Nearly 400 millionaires and billionaires from 24 countries are calling on global leaders to increase taxes on the super-rich, amid growing concern that the wealthiest in society are buying political influence.

    'An open letter, released to coincide with the World Economic Forum in Davos, calls on global leaders attending this week’s conference to close the widening gap between the super-rich and everyone else.

    'The letter, signed by luminaries including the #actor and film-maker Mark Ruffalo, the #musician Brian Eno and the film producer and #philanthropist Abigail Disney, says extreme #wealth is polluting politics, driving social exclusion and fuelling the #climate emergency.

    '“A handful of global #oligarchs with extreme wealth have bought up our #democracies; taken over our #governments; gagged the freedom of our #media; placed a stranglehold on #technology and innovation; deepened #poverty and social exclusion; and accelerated the breakdown of our planet,” it reads. “What we treasure, rich and poor alike, is being eaten away by those intent on growing the gulf between their vast power and everyone else.

    '“We all know this. When even millionaires, like us, recognise that extreme wealth has cost everyone else everything else, there can be no doubt that society is dangerously teetering off the edge of a precipice.”'
