    New question for When asked how to fund UBI, Yang points to VAT, but often doesn't mention raising the cap on payroll taxes or taxing cap gains as ordinary income. Why does he lead with the regressive tax, & not the progressive taxes he also supports?

    Vegans blame meat-eaters for coronavirus. Meat-eaters blame vegans for the E. coli in their spinach. E. coli and coronavirus give each other high-fives for the apparent early success of their "divide and conquer" strategy.

    I don't like the "how are you paying for this particular policy?" question. It's theater at best. At worst it leads to a clumsy and over-complicated tax system.

    In the 1990s liberals and progressives in the US aggressively and nearly unanimously opposed a flat income tax, because it was regressive. Now many are in favor of a VAT, which is even more regressive. What changed?

    In many cases, just say what we think and *listen* when other people point out what's wrong with it. Saves a lot of time over those other methods. Other people are in a much better position to de-bias us than we are to de-bias ourselves.

    Individual vs out-group in the context of in-group vs out-group should be included, too.

    One day later, the most popular answers are: 1. A lack of gratitude. 2. Cluelessness about (or rejection of) reciprocal responsibility. 3. An air of superiority.

    We speak of a "sense of entitlement" as if it's always bad. Yet we want our children to feel entitled to our love & support, & want everyone to feel entitled to a fair trial, & an equal vote. Maybe what we really object to is _________________.
