It wasn't always this way. One day in 1937, they just decided to take it.

So you're against a social safety net? Some clarity please.
I'm a libertarian. That should clarify it.
As Pinker says, there's currently no libertarian utopia in the world. Without a safety net, you'll have a lot more poverty and exclusion.
Safety net need not be a government monopoly. In fact, it would be more effective if people were able to dispose of their income to help others directly, instead of having it taken away and used for the military industrial complex and other wasteful spending.
I agree on the wasteful spending. But would isn't a voluntary safety net a bit unrealistic? What guarantee is there that the money/help ends up with the needy and poor?
Consider how little money goes to help them now and how much is wasted in often immoral or corrupt goals. If safety net was based on competing organizations, people would donate to those that show the most success and stewardship, instead of being forced to give to a monopoly.
100%. I’m sure it doesn’t even cross most peoples minds. Takes the voluntary part right out of the equation.
Should pay u in cash and have the collector at the door there would be a revolution
Good to know that yet another person thinks it's ok for someone to work their whole lives and become homeless or destitute. Ignorance is bliss.
But would you change it? I jump to the conclusion quickly that I would... But when I think of the chaos created by changing it... I'm not so sure.
If you think about it it's not that employers would automatically pay you the same wage if they know you're receiving it all. The amt of money employers/employees keep when you reduce taxes comes down to the improved room to negotiate wages and establish a competitive market rate
So ultimately lower taxes means powerful corporations have less room to take advantage of you. And if that's the case, it indicates that high taxes help establish monopolies.
