It’s oversimplified on purpose. The message needs to be crystal clear, and it needs to be repeated so often that no politician can go into a Talkshow without having to explain themselves why they are not taxing the rich.

This is the only way to make progress here as a society. You need broad support here.

Having said that, I actually, earnestly believe that taxing the rich is a prerequisite to

• solving climate change
• having a working government
• reestablishing the social fabric of our society
• etc.

If you are curious to learn more how this is backed up by data, you can eg. read „toxisch reich“ by Sebastian Klein (unfortunately only available in German I think)

The reason is simple: Neither the center left nor the center right are delivering for the broad human populace. They both protect the ultra rich by not taxing them, which in turn creates a redistribution of wealth from the poor, the middle class AND the state to the ultra rich.

On a basal level, everyone understands that the economic status quo can not continue. Living standards continue to fall regardless of who is in power, and so it is inevitable that people will demand some sort of drastic change.

The loudest voice promising change is the alt right.

The second loudest voice is us, taxing the rich. It must be done, and we need to do all we can to become the loudest voice. We have several more years until the elections in eg. UK and Germany. Let’s do it. Let’s tax the rich.

Das kann sie gerne versuchen. Dann kann sie sehen, wie viele Stimmen sie nach 4 Jahre Merz und ohne eine einzige Antwort auf die ungerechte Verteilung bekommt.

Aber das muss wie eine Sau durch jedes Dorf gejagt werden, das wir haben.

Wir müssen darum kämpfen, dass die reichensteuer alles überschattet bei der nächsten Wahl. So wie die Rechten es geschafft haben, dass bei der letzten Wahl alle gefragt wurde, was sie gegen die Migration machen würden.

So müssen wir dafür sorgen, dass bei der nächsten Wahl kein Politiker durch ein Interview kommen kann, ohne sich zu rechtfertigen, was er gegen die extreme Ungleichheit in dem Lande tut.

There are two types of right wingers; the ones that are too stupid or too lazy to understand what they are doing; And the ones that know EXACTLY what they are doing.

The latter ones are the kinds of Weidel, Spahn, Thiel, etc.

Tax wealth, not work.

Our super rich elite is coasting off of their hoarded assets; taxing high income is fine but will also serve to build their moat higher.

You gotta get the super rich to sell their assets. Tax their wealth.

Hast du grade gesagt dass ich alt bin?!

Gefühlt in jedem modernen Lied dieser Tage, und es klingt immer scheisse, Sorry

This is flat out wrong. In fact, the more co2 is emitted, the more extreme the consequences are. The change from 0->1 degree of global warming barely registers. The change from 3->4 degrees is catastrophical, for example.

Thus, the warmer it gets, the more worth it is to fight against it, as each small win contributes more to the bottom line than in the beginning.

About 95% of the money spent by the public health insurance company is „Leistungsausgaben“, I.e., paying out people for health related costs.

You can’t optimize that away, even when combining the companies. The remaining 5% is overhead. Having worked in a big company, I can tell you that big companies are not that much more efficient than small companies. In fact, the overhead is often even larger since there is lots more cross-communication involved between departments. In the end, everyone that is now a CEO would be an SVP instead, and barely anything would change.

Unpopular opinion, but I actually like the competitive landscape in public health care in Germany. IMHO this is the best example for capitalism: you define exactly what each company has to deliver, and they can compete on:

1. pricing

2. service

3. additional benefits

The nature of the strong regulation here makes them compete on actual relevant things, and they can’t externalize the costs (mostly).

I actually believe having just one public health care company would result in a worse service.

I would rather focus on the ridiculous increase in wealth inequality, in Germany, and around the globe. That’s the root of all evil.
