🌹Nigel ❤🌹💙 @laithar.bsky.social · 19/03/20256\ 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 000
🌹Nigel ❤🌹💙 @laithar.bsky.social · 19/03/20255\ 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 100
🌹Nigel ❤🌹💙 @laithar.bsky.social · 19/03/20254\ 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 100
🌹Nigel ❤🌹💙 @laithar.bsky.social · 19/03/20253\ 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" 100
🌹Nigel ❤🌹💙 @laithar.bsky.social · 19/03/20252\ 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 100
🌹Nigel ❤🌹💙 @laithar.bsky.social · 19/03/20251\ Govts with fiat currencies have the monopoly on issuing money We know they can issue without constraint for numerous reasons Whenever it's necessary to approve a budget for war, it gets approved Taxes don't go up If fact taxes aren't needed at all for spending Here's how we know 100

🌹Nigel ❤🌹💙 @laithar.bsky.social · 16/03/2025It'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 100
🌹Nigel ❤🌹💙 @laithar.bsky.social · 16/03/2025HAHAHA! 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 000
🌹Nigel ❤🌹💙 @laithar.bsky.social · 16/03/2025I 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 000
🌹Nigel ❤🌹💙 @laithar.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Think: Two scenarios 1 - A worker gets a govt job & receives 2k/mnth with 200 deductions 2 - The same worker gets the same govt job, but gets paid 1800/mnth with no deductions They both get 1800 in their bank account, so what is the difference? Which job would you prefer & why? 120

🌹Nigel ❤🌹💙 @laithar.bsky.social · 16/03/20254\ 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 100
🌹Nigel ❤🌹💙 @laithar.bsky.social · 16/03/20253\ 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 100
🌹Nigel ❤🌹💙 @laithar.bsky.social · 16/03/20252\ 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 100
🌹Nigel ❤🌹💙 @laithar.bsky.social · 16/03/20251\ I see a lot of posts from Americans where they are shocked at the difference between Europe & America with regard to Medical & Employment laws etc All I can say is, Don't Knock Socialism It's not Communism & it won't lead to Communism We struggle cuz US corporations are against Socialism 111

🌹Nigel ❤🌹💙 @laithar.bsky.social · 24/02/20258\ Taxes on the working class is showed to be, time & time again, more than the wealthy pay, as a percentage Wealth shouldn't be unlimited We shouldn't allow individuals to amass so much wealth that they can influence our elected leaders, even though our elected leaders shouldn't be accepting anyway 100
🌹Nigel ❤🌹💙 @laithar.bsky.social · 24/02/20257\ That does not mean we wouldn't need taxes though, but it would relieve some of the pressure The low taxes that we have has created huge inequality Basic math shows that the reason we have so many billionaires is because the govt has allowed people to amass huge sums of money without proper tax 100
