I am a guy from southern germany. I like scouting, trains and computers. Politically, I would consider myself as a democratic socialist.
(For anyone wondering, yes this is from the same guy, as !DeckPacker@piefed.blahaj.zone)

    I agree in principle, but sales taxes are a bad idea, because they are regressive. That means, because poor people spend a larger proportion if their income, their income is taxed (through sales taxes) at a higher rate than the income of more wealthy people.

    What would actually be a better idea is to have a higher income tax for the higher tax brackets, but also tax wealth and inheritance much more, that would be things like stocks, real estate etc, which the wealthy use to borrow against to avoid taxes (because they don’t pay taxes on the borrowed money).








  • Steve Bannon says this? Sorry for being cynical, but I don’t by anything that Trump’s goons say.

    What most people need to understand is that a lot of politicians don’t believe in anything, except serving the interests of their donors.

    Just like they didn’t do anything about the “deep state” or the prices of eggs, they will never even consider doing anything that threatens Nvidia or OpenAI.

    It’s nice that the political discourse is shifting, but don’t expect anyone who is currently in power to help you in this fight
