Work Reform

If we emptied the account of every rich asshole like this we would achieve the same thing AND lose a whole class of dickbags that think they should be in charge.

Adding $3 trillion in GDP would not remove the debt anyway. Assholes like this one don't even understand how GDP is calculated nor what it means.

Or we could stop lying about what the national debt is and tax the wealthy to destroy their absurd power.

https://mmt101.substack.com/p/mmt-basics-national-debt-defined

Or we could make it illegal to be a billionaire.

“Please stay in the corporate meat grinder so we can have enough money to fuck kids then bomb them”

We’re constantly more productive and never see a reduction in work hours, only more work. You bring this up to one of these fucks or their simps and they say “sure, but when will the work get done?” as if that comment makes even the slightest amount of sense.

The very first thing we all need to do is stop working so hard. The rich don’t have any real skills and they have no power without the people they exploit.

Sure but if we pay off the full debt our FICO credit score will go down. You gotta carry a balance nowadays.

That's not how national debt works you absolute ladle.

Garbage people produce garbage ideas.

Why not pay off the debt by reducing military spending by 90% for the next thirty years. We would still be in the top three countries for military spending.

This shitty idea is a thousand times better than anything Oz could come up with.

Or if we tax billionaires and corporations…

The thing is that he's right, but will these sleazy fucks do anything to actually make it happen? Well let's see what they're to implement...

• A universal healthcare system so Americans are healthier and less stressed? Nope
• Free college so Americans can start their careers as efficiently as possible? Nope
• Free universal daycare for all American parents so they could focus on their careers without being to stressed about where to take their kids? Nope
• Raising the minimum wage to something livable so people don't depend on government programs? Nope
• Investing in public transport so people can more reliably commute to work and find new jobs? Nope
• Strengthening worker rights to ensure that workers are taken care of, thus ensuring their longevity and productivity? Nope
• Passing union friendly policies while prosecuting union busting businesses to make sure American workers feel their hard work isn't being taken advantage of? Nope
• Regulating hazardous workplace conditions to ensure the safety of workers? Nope

So what they fuck do they mean by this? They clearly don't care about the debt or the well being of Americans since they're not willing to do anything about either. No, what they want are results without any of the work needed to achieve it. They're not looking for a more productive economy, they're looking for slaves.

Alternatively, actually tax the top 10% at the 37% tax rate for everything earned above $600k, and let the working class try to enjoy a little life, with healthcare coverage.

Did I fuckin miss something? We are 30 trillion in debt.

universal health care would accomplish the same thing

more worker more healthy better economy

Fucking ghoul. Thanks Oprah for making him famous.

That would more than remove the debt.

No it wouldn't! They'd just create even more debt, and then try to tell people that, if they'd start working earlier, and keep working later, and work harder, then..... they could create even MORE debt.

Sell yourself to indentured servitude at 18 and work until you're found dead by the janitor. Your corporate masters need a new Ferrari!

Instead of trying to extend the prole's work life by a couple years, we COULD tax billion-dollar companies and their owners by 2% more and make three times as much money!

But we can't! Sorry. Our hands are tied

Also, can't afford minimum wage increase this year, the budget is tight

Oh! Almost forgot! We need a raise of 10% this year, and it's time for our winter break! After winter break, it's spring break. Then we will come back to "work" to pass more important legislation, right before our summer break.

You don't get breaks every year? Damn. Well, life is not fair what can we do later gator

This is going to be so great for the Rich People's Pedo Island Money.

Fresh out of highschool? Wtf... Are kids really not getting jobs while still going to highschool anymore...

We were getting jobs as soon as law allowed us.

Am I out of touch or is this guy just an extreme privileged cunt?

Two of the three points he made are total horseshit, but let's not throw out that last one:

If we could get the average American to ~~start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later --not retire -- or~~ work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy.

Universal Health Care fucking now.

Their fucking hubris is almost unbelievable

So when do you start doing actual work, Oz?

as an aside - Read somewhere that this argument that the government can't afford all of these things like healthcare, infrastructure, etc. that would help most people is bullshit. Since the federal government prints it's own money there is nothing that it can't afford. We spent 3 - 8 trillion on the Afghanistan and Iraq wars alone. And when people argue that it will increase inflation - sure maybe, but if you tax wealthy people more it can cover part or all of the newly printed money.

Note: I'm a bit of an idiot about this stuff - so this article could be completely off base and I just wouldn't know.

If necromancy was a thing, they would make us work even after dying

"Employers in the USA Have Stolen Over $50 Trillion From Workers Since 1975"

I don't want to hear about national debt from a politician ever again. Doge fixed it all, were doing great. Kindly fuck off.

It's so hard to understand why people don't want to have kids

The plan is to physically destroy yourself to fix an entirely imaginary problem.

The ‘National Debt’ is merely the cumulative tally of money that nation’s government has ‘spent’ into, and not yet taxed out of, existence. It imposes no tangible burden, and believing it does helps the owning class convince the uninitiated to choose and work against their own interests.

‘Work better during their lifetime because they’re healthy’ is actually the way forward.

But of course it’s mentioned last because the first two proposals are a lot cheaper and faster.

Unfortunately our work doesn't go towards the debt. It goes to making the rich richer.
