[QUOTE="BMWMC, post: 5068571, member: 37461"] I do agree on the point that money makes money and poop makes poop. People who add value, and significant value at that, to the economy deserve to be congratulated and incentivized. A progressive tax policy seem to fit the best when we define fairness, "[B][I]in order to form a more perfect union, establish [URL='https://www.docsoffreedom.org/readings/justice-for-all']justice[/URL], insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity". [/I][/B] Yet, all are not born equal with equal opportunities. Ensuring that our country provides as great a social, political and economic environment as we do incentives for wealth and wealth creation seem to fulfill the intent of our constitution's preamble. Redistribution of wealth has been the only proven means in which to do this. To provide the greatest good for the most people. Pure unregulated capitalism has consistently fail as a utility to meets the goals of our constitutions mandate. Another issue is China. China has done, so far, what western economist and political scientist thought impossible. Combining Communism with Capitalism. They have a system in place that not only is advancing economically but technically and militarily. The social component, for now, seems to largely under control as the ruling single party system keep prosperity moving wider among their populace. The danger to the future of the US, our standard of living and liberty is the political right wing (Republicans, especially the Trumpian Republicans) endless Red Baiting and Either Or choices. Trump and his allies in the Republican party have criticized those Republicans that voted for the infrastructure bill. Yet, in that bill the US takes a giant step towards counting China's economic and technologically advanced infrastructure. We need to recognize that calling someone a commie and socialist isn't going to help America compete when we have a communist country about to succeed us as the world's greatest economic and military power.
