Hey @Grok, was Hitler a hardcore socialist?
Elon Musk@elonmusk
@paulg Hitler was also left, just a different type of left. Hardcore socialist.

@asa_climate @doinggood9 @mehdirhasan All I had to do is take 1 look at the accounts you follow to disregard anything you say
English
A reminder that no serious historian, academic or anyone who has spent even minutes looking at Nazi Germany agrees with this. Hitler locked up the left, denounced the left. He was not a 'hardcore socialist.'
The only people who say this are... Nazi sympathizers & the far right.

@trevgoes4th @OxideTwinjet The state as defined by democratically elected members of the public with a duty to maximise liberty, health, happiness and wellbeing for all citizens - yes.
Bit weird you're defending tax dodging billionaires for free. Or maybe you're getting paid off, if so do correct me🤷♂️
English
@asa_climate @OxideTwinjet you are literally a state boot licker
English
Your choices are
A. No tax on overtime
B. Wealth tax
C. Tax on your ISA
This is an IQ test
English
@OxideTwinjet @trevgoes4th did you seriously just type in "best tax according to economists" into Google and expect that to settle the debate you absolute melon.
As it happens, I'm also pro-LVT and consumption taxes.
English
@asa_climate @trevgoes4th I bet that sounded clever when you typed it.
So fpr "academic economists"
- they know fuck all
- you're a lying cunt
The majority of _actual_ economists recommend "...broad-based consumption taxes and Land Value Taxes (LVTs)..." as the most efficient.

Absolute nonsense - Labour was founded by the unions as the party of the working classes and remains the only national vehicle in the UK for progressive change.
Mothin Ali@MothinAli
The Greens are the party of the working class. We are not here to play tag along to Starmerism with a northern accent.

@Luffydude1 @trevgoes4th That's cute, but no one asked you for a self-portrait

@MichaelAArouet @EzraEpizon You'll be shocked to hear the super rich pay less than the average nurse then!
English
@EzraEpizon Flat tax for everyone is the only fair tax
English
Seriously, how can left populists keep a straight face when they demand that "the rich" pay their "fair share," when the top 10% already pay 59% of income taxes and the bottom 50% only 3%?
In which parallel mental universe do these people live?
Michael A. Arouet@MichaelAArouet
Left populists in the US and elsewhere love screaming "tax the rich." In reality, the top 10% of US earners already pay 59% of income taxes, while the bottom 50% pay only 3%. Are the left ignorant, naive or manipulative? Or is it just pure envy?
English
@theEconBlog @MichaelAArouet Easy, they're not dumb enough to think the rich pay income tax like the rest of us.
If you're referring to income tax, you're not rich enough.
English
@MichaelAArouet Easy. Either they ignore the stats, or they feel entitled to everyone else paying for everything they get to enjoy.

@asa_climate We cant possibly function without 19m state jobs and welfare for being sad
English
Reminder
You do not "spend money on tax cuts"
It's not their fucking money, it belongs to the person who earned it
The state spends money on welfare and client groups jobs programmes
Dan Neidle@DanNeidle
Reform UK wants to abolish income tax on overtime. It sounds like a tax cut for hard work. Actually a tax cut for the word “overtime”. So little GDP impact & huge cost - we reckon £14bn not Reform's £5bn If you want to spent £5bn on tax cuts, we have ten better ways: 🧵

@SomeIsraeli @jamesdoe1912 lol as if that changes the point in any meaningful way.

@asa_climate @jamesdoe1912 "most of your life"
If you take a mortgage at 30 for 20 years then at 50 you're done, with an extra decade or two until retirement and then a decade or two until a care home
Add a few extra years to the starting age or mortgage length if you want
English
You people do not understand what mortgages are
jezz@JezziiB
"in communism, you don't own your house!" Babes, that's capitalism, what do you think mortgages are?

Who believes Labour were put in power to intentionally ruin the UK?

@Mark_Cheetham @DanielJHannan Considering most academic economists would likely go with Green on the balance of things today, it's likely.
English
@DanielJHannan I wonder if any of these teachers have actualy studied economics for more that 5 minutes
