Of course he has to pay more back.
Then what does it mean comrade? Just a little more equity? How about just a little more followed by a little more? Who determines the "CORRECT" state approved amount?
If the system were modestly different, resulting in a more equitable distribution of wealth (and no this does not mean everyone is paid the exact same),
Not me comrade. I consider it extreme and moving the nation toward communism and degradation.
These are fairly modest ideas that most nations consider rather conservative in nature.
Those same "extremely desperate far-right ideologues" that want to honor the actual words in the Constitution? How radical? The nerve of those people to actually want to preserve the nation. :rolleyes:
It's only within an extremely desperate far-right ideological framework that these ideas appear radical.
No, continuing progressive socialism is not the original state of the Union. Expanding those stupid and unconstitutional programs is more socialism. As for "adjusting tax rates?" How about we tax everybody at the same rate as the top 1% Would that suit you?
Nationalizing all property in the country and executing the wealthy to permanently change the very coordinates of the system as we know it is an extreme radical proposal. Adjusting tax rates and expanding social programs so that the system that currently exists can continue to function is actually conservative in nature.
