@chamath What possible incentive would the bottom 50% living tax-free have to not simply vote their way to "seizing the means of production." Think about the second order effects of this idea for just a few minutes and you can see dozens of ways this would catastrophically self-destruct.

Facts It's great that Jeff Bezos thinks this way, because too many people who don't make money think that giving money to the government will solve a lot of their problems. They think these government programs are the answer, and it's clearly not. You can look at the federal level or at the state level, and you will see that a lot of government programs are simply waste.

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.



Capitalism-Socialism is a spectrum. On the Capitalist side, one person owns everything and everyone else is a slave. On the Socialist side, no one owns anything because everything is shared. We are right on the Far Right of the Capitalist side. We need to go WAY Left.
