Scientist - I’m known to change my view based on reason and data. I will take the correction & apologize when needed.

My conversation with a text scammer posing as my friend.
Everything I say is made up. I kept him going for about a week.
I have this in 3 parts. If you like this, I will post the next part.
@CommieKoala It is the business owner’s problem, which makes it the worker’s problem. You got it all wrong. Now the workers have an advantage over the business owner, they can leave, the business owner can’t.
@OUnderfolder@MetamateDaz No it is not. I get a bill for trash. That is a bill. I get a bill for water. That is a bill. The rest is a wealth tax. A bill and a wealth tax are to different things.
@OUnderfolder@MetamateDaz Wealth tax is immoral. If the house own needs to pay for a gov't service, then they should get a bill for that service and pay it.
@PaigeSully88 It will be over soon, and then it will be really cheap. Small price to pay for the safety and the freeing of the Iranians, don't you think? You were paying more under Biden and didn't get anything for it.
@WandaSpeaks67@JesterJum Nor is Trump. Trump is putting people that are going to be deported in the same places that Obama used, but today it's a concentration camp that needs to be closed.
A property tax is a wealth tax not a consumption tax. Just because the wealth tax is used to pay for services, doesn’t change the fact it is a wealth tax. A consumption tax is a tax associated with the thing you are consuming. You made up that a city can’t have an income tax to justify a wealth tax. Even if a city couldn’t have an income tax, a wealth tax is not required. The city can bill home owns for those services. A wealth tax is immoral and is never needed.
@ThrillaRilla369 I don’t agree with any wealth taxes, they are immoral. Yet, for the most part, if you live there long enough, you pay the same each month without the increase that happens with rent. Typically the value appreciates.
@RockChartrand Said, another way, Capitalism breeds being of service to another. That is, what can I do for you?
Socialism brings greed. That is, when do I get mine?
@blacktjej@Provokethoughtz Yet, that is all generated from the gov't. If the gov't would get out of the way, competition would handle it. But the gov't regulates out competition.
@Phil2Dawg@SaltyGoat17 They are masters at flipping the narrative. It was Hilary that used Russians to make the Steel dossier to claim that it was Trump that was working with the Russians. It is amazing how they can pull it off every time.
@SaltyGoat17 ...while you still can. The Dems have been stealing voting power from non-citizens just as they stolen slaves voting power by count them in the census for apportionment of house members for themselves. They have ~13 house seats, and with Biden's open border they will get ~7 more.
@blacktjej@Provokethoughtz I think CA is the worst. CA needs to cut taxes and stop funding the fraud they do. CA is trying to make it illegal to report fraud. The system is corrupt. It's costing us, and making things unaffordable.
@blacktjej@Provokethoughtz I don't deny it is harder for them. And the rate they can buy a house is out of reach. The gov't needs to cut spending ease up on some regs. I technically could have retired already, but I can't. I won't be able to afford it on my retirement.
@blacktjej@Provokethoughtz Most of the people I see working starting at $20/hr. are young. They probably still live at home. My kids did until the mid 20s. So, they don't move out at 18.
