If you want to take issue with something I wrote then do so. That’s what I call being serious. You may have a different definition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like one aspect of Denmark society l; why should I need to justify or even comment on the other aspects? Tim: we should have less poverty like Denmark! Me: [lists a bunch of specific reasons we can't be like Denmark.] Tim: those don't help me eat my cake, so I'll dismiss them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Me: [lists a bunch of specific reasons we can't be like Denmark.] Tim: those don't help me eat my cake, so I'll dismiss them. None of those reasons have anything to with why we can’t be like Denmark on this ONE issue. Let me be more specific; let’s increase spending on the safety net by 20-50% in an attempt to eliminate poverty. We can find the money by raising taxes on the top 1% of earners and eliminating all tariffs (so as to grow the economy.) Eliminate minimum wage and invite open immigration. Spend massive amounts in the inner city (way more than we ever have) and work on eliminating institutional racism. These measures would lead to a prosperous, capitalist society without socialism.

The Real timschochet 7,124 Posted 15 hours ago I would eliminate or seriously limit all sales taxes as well, and tax the wealthy more. Make things as cheap as possible for the consumer. Grow the economy from the bottom up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is actually crushing your argument. Increasing the social safety net only works of you can control the size of the net. In the US that net would swell so fast it would be unsustainable. The government would always need more money. In Denmark they know exactly how big their net will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
