Still kinda being covered up, by a paywall this time
Educational history like this should be available to all freely, no matter their financial situation
Making money off of it, is obscene
Thanks for bringing it to my attention though
I will do my own research

6\
A mixed economy, like they have in China, is a better system
It allows growth & better distribution
The rentier class are paying loads to lobby govts & they're winning
Let's take the fight back for the bottom 90%
Tax the parasitic money the 10% make during their sleep
It's draining the economy

5\
At the heart of industrial capitalism is the worker who needs to be fit, healthy & educated to maximise production
Govt made sure those things happened & the industrial age boomed
The landowners & rentier class saw an opportunity
The public sector was privatised & we're back to feudalism

4\
They allow it cuz the don't NEED to balance the books
It's just an illusion
Wealth is always being fought for by the landowners, rentier class
During the industrial revolution, which got scuppered in the 1970s, it was industrial capitalism that embraced the govts investment & public sector

3\
It happens in the US and it happens in Europe
It even happens in the UK with the use of British colonies
Wealthy corporations have enough wealth already, without hiding it from the tax man
If govts allow that, & yes they are allowing it, then they can never be serious about "balancing the books"

2\
Apart from taxes not going any higher when extra money is issued, a govt with a central bank that allows tax havens is not serious about taxes to fund spending
How does that work?
Everyone has to pay taxes except those states or countries that harbour wealth?
That's the craziest shit right there

It's a hypothetical scenario, not exact
The deductions represent whatever is deducted from a salary
Just imagine the deductions represent everything that people complain about
The point is, in both scenarios you get exactly the same benefits, nothing changes except the presentation

HAHAHA!
I really didn't think this through did I 😂
I was really just thinking on simple terms
But it's good because you are highlighting exactly what the reality could be
For the record, I personally don't believe taxes pay for public services so yeah, you'd still get your NHS & pension etc

I like your answer because it highlights how we have been conditioned to thinking that we have to pay certain things regardless but in the second scenario, I meant no deductions are necessary
Govt isn't demanding any deductions for anything
It's tax free

UK lefty here
Neoliberalism is Fascism
Always learning about macro economics
Fascinated with Professor Michael Hudson
I believe in MMT too

5\
Other companies that are bad for the economy are any that offer finance, insurance and real estate companies cuz despite what they want you to believe, THEY DON'T EARN MONEY
They make money while they sleep
That is NON-EARNED money
It's PARASITIC, feeding off the hosts, which is you!

4\
Banks want to tap in to everything
They are the most corrupt institutions in the world
They make money by lending you money that doesn't exist
They rely on house prices going up cuz no one sells a house for less than they paid for it
And if you foreclose, they make a ton out of that too

3\
Medical is the biggest
No one should be declared bankrupt because of an operation or go broke every month to get their life saving drugs
Education & even transport & communication should be available free or cheap
Govt could provide all these
They would never go broke

2\
Neoliberals want a free market
Free to do whatever they want without regulation
That's Fascism
Socialism promotes state run services that are equal for all
You just need to keep private companies from profiteering from your everyday needs, like water, food & rents/mortgages
