WHITE PILLING LFG I AGREE

Some of you may find my views “contradictory” in terms of why I may still consider myself a progressive. Let me elaborate.

There was once a time when government may have been considered a bit more reliable, responsible, less focused on totalitarian rule through surveillance, control (removing privacy, instituted CBDCs, etc). I don’t think this directions bodes well for anyone, regardless of political alignment. They’ve gone way too far and I see no reason for them to stop.

I think my biggest worry in terms of removing the state entirely from the equation, or even mostly, (even though I see tremendous benefit in free market alignment and often think the state doesn’t do a good job at most things it is tasked to do), is that the past century has created fracture and a dependency in our society for a lot of state social welfare and socialist support for how our economy operates.

Over a long enough time frame I’d be a huge proponent of removing a lot of this. But for the foreseeable future the collapse would just be too big and too damaging for me to stomach.

The lesser of two evils for me is supporting many government social welfare programs (however imperfect they are), and continuing to advocate for and build out parallel systems in bitcoin and have folks trickle in. Then by the time the system is completely crumbling (yes even more than today), hopefully we have more people who have set their life up in a way that is less reliant on this systems that were never going to last anyway (social security, student loan forgiveness, Medicaid, what have you).

That’s why I get so angry at progressive and democratic politicians who are not supportive of bitcoin and all it offers—because they don’t have long term solutions and they know it, particular regarding our economy, social welfare programs , and beyond. They would rather say screw you to millions of Americans than see if there are solutions in Bitcoin and via Bitcoin builders. Insane.

Anyway, that’s my delayed morning community rant. Good day!

The welfare state is the main culprit for the state of affairs

This have been misunderstood everywhere. The 66% is the 'taxability' of the capital gains. In Canada not all the capital gain in taxable. It used to be 50%. Let's round up the top income tax rate at 50%, the cap gain tax use to be 25% if you hit the highest income tax level. Now it's 33%. Still insanely high and a communist place

If taxes weren’t key to this Ponzi scheme the tiny hats wouldn’t have passed the income tax act at the same time at the federal reserve. Surprised how few Bitcoiners have actually thought this thru. Let us know when you stop taxing the Salvadorans, bukele lol

90% of Salvadoreans don't pay taxes.
