@mikeddonatelli Alternatively if you're someone like Harry Aikines-Aryeetey:
Have bigger biceps than all the lifters
Be faster than (most of) the sprinters
@davidpattersonx Taxes aren't used to fund government spending (at least not since the dollar was taken off the gold standard).
Taxes are used to manage inflation and wealth inequality by taking excess money out of circulation.
Spending precedes taxation as the FED has to print money first.
@DeadFinance69@CompositeGuy_ This comment makes no sense. He advocates for a 1% wealth tax over ยฃ10m. How can that possibly come out of the working class?
@YungMischling@avidseries It does now but what about before East Africans dominated distance running?
If anything, they would have been at a disadvantage compared to wealthier nations.
