Comment on What unique thing bothers you about politics in general?

I have notes!

That (depending on the country) all politicians continuously lie and that were sort of okay with that. We shouldn’t, and at the very first lie they should be called out, hard, and three strikes, you’re out

That we have political parties where everyone has to do what the party says. I’d rather have all independent politicians, vote for those

That many democracies call themselves democracies yet they use the first past the post system and their politica have moved to the point where you wonder if it’s still democracy

What companies have such a disproportionate amount of power. Companies should, in the end, exist for the people. The people should ALWAYS go before companies

That politicians can be in charge of something without having the slightest clue what that subject is. You should be an expert in the field to get a field. That also goes for IT, by the way. Fuck, so many politicians are so dumb and tech illiterate yet have to vote about tech.

That the rich still exist. Im fiine with capitalism, it works well to generate wealth which COULD be for everyone but people seem to be okay with the rich and ultra rich? I want to see hard cap limits on personal and company wealth. Anything, income, gifts, whatever, that goes over that limit goes 100% straight to taxes. Below that limit we need 10-20 more brackets, where the lowest incomes pay barely or no taxes at all as they likely can’t. The highest will pay on the 90% range and the next bracket is 100.

Same for companies, but limit it to 1 billion or so and 1000 employees max. Need more employees for a mega project that requires multiple companies to work together. Instead of one trillion dollar company, I want a million million dollar companies
