2) Inequality and wealth gap is itself a problem. Even if we manage to create a country that solved big problems like climate change, continuously reinvented itself, and generated wealth like we did post WW2-era, wealth capture is itself an issue. See: Piketty/@AnandWrites
In my opinion, poverty is more of a problem. And since it's hard to aim at one thing and hit another, even if it seems to be adjacent, I worry that if your goal is to attack inequality, you'll miss poverty.
That's why I believe neither solution is adequate on its own. GND is the project to tackle poverty. Higher taxes is the way to tackle inequality. I believe we can do both. The screenshotted section in an earlier draft actually said 'eliminate poverty'.pic.twitter.com/qD5bmLmdva
Longtime PG fan here too, but I find his original tweet disingenuous because he’s implying @AOC ONLY wants to raise taxes (on income above $10M, part which he left out) to ONLY address climate change. And that’s obviously not the only reason and there’s no way he didn’t know that
I think the argument is that you can't attack poverty without attacking inequality. It's not adjacent, it's dependent. And this isn't really a claim about economics, it's a claim about democracy and how it gets captured by wealth.
I don’t think you can examine poverty in isolation of inequality, they’re structurally connected, especially over longer time scales.
I think the Millennium Development Goals are an example of how an exclusive focus on poverty can be a problem.
Lmao you don’t see how poverty and inequality are inherently linked?
