Comment on Why aren't you creating more workers??

The problem developed nations are currently facing is that we need enough young people working to continue to support the current population as it ages and retires. The absolute population probably doesn’t need to be as big as it is (unless you plan on starting a war like Russia for example) but it’s not clear how to manage a reducing population gracefully.

By taxing corporations and reversing this insane wealth concentration.

  Mhmm the uber wealthy have all the toys that the rest of the population could ever dream of. Taking away their extra ones allows you to pay for everyone else to get the level of care they deserve. Even then you will have an absurd amount of surplus that can be used to pay for decades of services that the general population needs while still letting the rich have some of their toys.

    To me, that’s the most disgusting part: they could live the most lavish lifestyle possible and not put a dent in their savings.
    
    Nobody deserves that kind of wealth, nor should any one person control that much wealth. All those billions they’re sitting on are funds that should have been allocated for better education, healthcare, transportation improvements and upgrades, affordable housing, etc.

    What if we, instead if taking their toys, just voted for them?
    
    They are a menace. They have ruined our earth and stolen our futures. They should lose everything. Fuck compromise; you’d have to fight just as hard for it; just take all of it. Vote for them all. Vote for their vile spawn too. Put them all in elected office.

Certainly not by letting these dirty foreigners in the country. Those wild people with their 50 kids… wait.

I think it is worth figuring out how to manage it - the alternative isn’t super sustainable. The other thing is that it is like a 50 year challenge, which isn’t insurmountable.

  But that’s the thing - it will take 50 years …. After we start.
  
  Continuing to make it more of a challenge to raise kids is not an auspicious start
