Re: Materialist politics

"Yes, because they get taxed too much." As always, no attempt to fact check any of your assertions. I put the following question to my AI research assistant: is Britain's tax burden on ordinary working people higher than that of other developed countries? It took about 5 seconds to provide the answer: No, the tax burden on ordinary working people in the UK is generally lower than in many other developed countries, particularly when comparing the tax paid by average earners. While the overall tax burden as a percentage of GDP is high, average workers in the UK pay less tax on their wages compared to their counterparts in larger European countries. This was backed by numerous websites. Look it up for yourself. And to the extent that there's any truth in what you claim, the logical answer would be to shift the tax burden onto wealth rather than work. After all, it is hardly possible to shift the tax burden onto the very poor. Of course, I know you'll say: cut tax by cutting spending, let the rentiers extract maximum wealth, stop coddling the poor. In other words, let the sociopaths run the world. Well, the world is run by sociopaths, ugly souls like Elon Musk, and that's the problem; some of us want something better. I do not intend to respond to any reply. Your inability to distinguish between ideological wishes and objective facts, combined with your lack of analytic intelligence, renders exchanges with you singularly unfruitful.
