@ryangrim You’re missing the point entirely: it’s not wise to take money from the productive (businesses) and give it to the wasteful (government).
It would be more productive to create a “burn tax” where 1% of billlionaires’ assets are destroyed. At least you’d be helping curb inflation.
@TedRall Losing more of your soldiers in the process. Imagine the legacy… died protecting the pettiness of the ruling class that are targeting civilians.
@maui_oi@I_amMukhtar It would really benefit the cause if @Byoussef responded with actual arguments instead of stupid gotchas. Someone like @ComicDaveSmith is much more effective at exposing the IDF’s horrors because he has actual substance to back his arguments.
