Government should act as referee and not be taking part in the game as they do with monetary policy, healthcare, education and all the other pies they have their greedy little fingers in. That is the reason a lot of countries are the the mess they are in, much like the US, an unfathomable amount of debt.

The sliding scale should be moved and the free market naturally does that, the state is the one messing up that balance. To look at the current balance sheet and think that short term government stability is beneficial is naive. It also very naive to think you can tax any country into prosperity, by incentivizing the poor not to work in exchange for other people’s money.

The reason I take the comedic approach to these issues is because, people think that voting to take someone’s stuff through government taxation is justified and moral. It’s funnu like when you see someone saying a fish is a cat, and no matter what anybody says they are convinced that the fish is a cat, even after it sofocates to death.
Then there’s the irony of being on Steemit which is driven by capitalism and fundamentals originated from a lack of trust in government monetary policy.
