The problem with it is that the bureaucracy is an apathetic floodgate against the perpetual need of the populous rather than expedient service providing system. The same with the Healthcare system.
Hym "Ok, to use that as an example is so intellectually dishonest. 'If we give poor
people money they'll end up coked out in a ditch' The
people who are doing that are already going to do that. You just demolished your own argument with Ben's gun control argument. 'We can't ban guns because bad
people will get guns anyway'. The
people who would be junkies are already junkies. So, nobody gets any money just because some
people will use the money for evil!? I might need money to not die one day! Now replace the word money... with the word gun... Here- I'll just do it for you. 'So, nobody gets any guns just because some
people will
us the money for evil!? I might need guns to not die one day!' See that? It may be primitive but at least it's not self-defeating. How much did they give to elon in carbon credits? Is it more than 3 billion?
It's bad for
people to shoot the
government's (The
people's) money into their arms but the greatest thing ever when they shoot it into space? So, no, that's not a reason to NOT redistribute wealth to the
bottom of the hierarchy. Yes the money is already being redistributed BUT where is it being redistributed to a place that it SHOULDN'T BE? (See the through-line there?) That's the core issue here. Does elon need it more than any random poor person? To NOT GO BANKRUPT? Yes... Yes, absolutely... In general? No. I also don't think that the redistribution need to come from the government, but rather, the employers or from the employers by way of the government. If the government is giving you money (in any form) you should be paying it back to the
people the government to the money from.... I forgot to use the word 'Capitalism'... Oops... Aw shit... Too many characters..."
