@Dan_Furman Weird AI / LinkedIn writing style to actually say nothing while aggregating someone else’s work and soft pitching your own ambiguous “NIL” business. Good stuff.
@soonerbornDL@inspireprag Here’s an idea: they could sell their homes for a huge cash windfall.
If they don’t want to, then just keep paying your property taxes.
Easy.
@tee_kae63561@inspireprag If someone is living in poverty they probably don’t have to worry about property taxes. But home-owning boomers need to pay their property taxes in full. If it’s too much, then sell your damn house.
@GoldenCarl82@Bunch0numb3rz@jakehalloran1@agraybee Yes, insurance companies provide benefits + coverage when you have insurance. In the US they provide a lot of coverage. Who gives a shit about anything but out of pocket spending?
But then again, you’ve already made it clear that a few thousand dollars OOP would bankrupt you.
@GoldenCarl82@Bunch0numb3rz@jakehalloran1@agraybee Well you’re just making up numbers.
27m Americans don’t have health insurance. Thats 8-10% estimated. Which means 90% of Americans have health insurance. The “vast majority” as I said….
The average deductible is $1,700 for single coverage and $4,000 for family plans
@GoldenCarl82@Bunch0numb3rz@jakehalloran1@agraybee The vast majority of Americans have health coverage and can, as a result, afford it.
Taking edge cases and making them sound like the norm doesn’t strengthen your argument.
@bennyquad@Bunch0numb3rz@aethelamerican@agraybee That’s not what he said. He said he wants a more progressive tax system. The US has the most progressive tax system in the world.
When you say you want a wealth tax, how are you planning on defining that? Unrealized gains?
@Bunch0numb3rz@jakehalloran1@agraybee How much do you plan on “taxing corporations”? What rate specifically? And what are you taxing? Profit? Revenue? Market cap?
And, just for fun, are you cool with rationing care?
