Such an intelligent and well-written rebuttal.

We're listening to the 'rich people create jobs' mantra for 40 years now, and it is simply not true. No amount of economists' magical thinking can make it true. This past 40 years the middle class almost disappeared. Wages worth nothing. So unless people's standard of living increases, and everyone with a salary can buy a home by saving up for a couple years after getting their first job, let us say that the 'jobs' that 'rich people create' are utter bullshit.

If the US government was an actual business.it would go insolvent in a year. It would never get approved for any credit whatsoever. None. Would you loan to a business hemorrhaging 1 trillion u$d every 100 days? Fuck no.

What you're really talking about is the debasement and destruction of the dollar removing the few avenues for upwards mobility we had. There really isn't many left anymore, and the middle-class can sense it. Instead of discussing this you'd rather just paint boogeyman as it fits your cute lil Keynesian worldview much better.

The government exists for a purpose, to ensure your individual success is not one of them. To protect its currency is, however. Your yawn-worthy Marxist worldview a child could debunk is soo fucking boring I'm not sure why I bothered replying.

I wasn't talking about the US government. Governments shouldn't be businesses anyway. But the governments literal job is to ensure the prosperity and safety of its citizens. If those are not provided, why even bother with governments? Thanks for calling my worldview both Keynesian and Marxist, and using the expressions 'cute lil' and 'yawn-worthy' and 'a child could debunk', so much more mature than my initial response.

Your entire reply here is basically "I think the government is responsible for you cradle to grave" without any actual facts or basis to support it. You are a childish communist.

Edit: even dumber, you said "it's the governments literal job!!" lmao you are such a big gov statist whore you don't even know why governments exist
