I defend reason, free markets, and the individual: Against the mob, the state, and bad ideas.

@PolitlcsUK Ongoing. Its 3 days FFS. And, if we had cheep energy we could afford air con.

It isn't though, and this is the PROBLEM!

Anti- capitalist governments are merely a reflection of UK culture. The working class get mad whem modernity challenges their jobs, NIMBYs get mad when growth challenges their house value and village life.

[Daniel Priestley @DanielPriestley]

The UK is crying out for capitalism.

So many hard working, talented people here. So much entrepreneurial spirit, creativity and big ideas.

But the government has their foot hard on the brakes.

There’s a cycle for prosperity. Let people run lose, experiment, refine and win big. Then when it’s all going great, tax some of those winnings and invest in the next platform for growth.

A bakery needs the chef to make a pie before you can slice it up and share it around. An economy needs higher growth before you can have higher taxes.

Taxes are the brakes on the economy. When taxes are too high you stifle innovation, entrepreneurship and drive.

Look at the frontier cities and industries. They start out as the wild-wild-west at first - no rules, low taxes anything goes. Think Hollywood early 1900s. Think about the internet in the early 2000s. Think about automotive in the 60s and 70s. Fast growing, profitable, fortunes to be made and lost.

Then come the regs and taxes and it all smooths out or goes away.

The UK hasn’t grown for 15 years. It’s crying out to get up and go. It just needs the governments foot to come off the brakes.

@Tu_Quoque_4_U Correct 👏

[TheLastRationalist @TLRationalist]

@Tu_Quoque_4_U Whilst I agree, that can only be achieved in a rational and philosophically sound culture, which we currently are nowhere near. So in the meantime I would settle for taxes ONLY being to fund that which serves the limited role of the state.....

@ZackPolanski So when we decarbonize and in 30 years its still hitting 30 degrees 3 times a year what will you blame then

[TheLastRationalist @TLRationalist]

@KateCox59582715 Its a Cash ISA not stocks and shares. You should get one as they are tax free

[TheLastRationalist @TLRationalist]

@ChrisRedmo98527 @JuliaHB1 Only when the private companies are bailed out, which wouldnt be capitalism would it?

[TheLastRationalist @TLRationalist]

@KamilMPoet Capitalism is what produces things like AIR CON cheaply so we can stay cool and not die.

[TheLastRationalist @TLRationalist]

@Inworldnotofit @CoachRolfes He was an apocolyptic JEW ffs. Other writers were giving their opinion decades after he supposedly walked the earth.

[TheLastRationalist @TLRationalist]

@Inworldnotofit @CoachRolfes Stop quoting other writers. Did Jesus believe the kingdom was coming in HIS lifetime. Yes or no?
