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.
Elon Musk@elonmusk

@paulg Hitler was also left, just a different type of left. Hardcore socialist.

@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🤷‍♂️

@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.

@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. google.com/search?q=best+…

Just saying … Britain hit 32.8°C in May back in BOTH 1922 and 1944. This was long before SUVs, budget airlines and air fryers. Hysteria from the media is not fact ..it’s narrative and fear porn. As you were!

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?

@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.

@MichaelAArouet Easy. Either they ignore the stats, or they feel entitled to everyone else paying for everything they get to enjoy.

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: 🧵

@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

@Mark_Cheetham @DanielJHannan Considering most academic economists would likely go with Green on the balance of things today, it's likely.
