This is something I hope to do in the future, but I do not see my income reaching the level you have in 2 years (I turn 33 next month). As long as I can make it easier for my kids then me I will be happy.
Is it equal outcomes or equal opportunity?
OMG, you actually have to ask that question?
So if it’s easy to defend, then it would be mainstream? And what does that have to do with the truthfulness of it all?
Dude, really think about that sentence.

And the constant propagandistic viewpoints you hold so dearly after decades of indoctrination are being seen for what they are and the devastation it leaves behind. You and your viewpoints are going the way of the Dodo. Good riddance!
Have you?
And you made a comment referring to nations nationalizing industries, as if it is an obvious bad thing. Venezuela is a country that did nationalize it’s oil industries. They went through hyperinflation. Do you see the connection or are you blind to that as well? You in a caveman voice “Nationalization, baaaadddd private sector goooood.”
Equal opportunity will never exist. Everyone starts from a different place. Anyone pushing that nonsense is a loser and can’t stand on their own merits.
Everything you’ve espoused contributes to wanting to equalize outcome and stomping those that are successful.
Good thing for us the successful run the world and make the rules and always will.

If it was such a slam dunk, more people would be buying into it.
Or are the MMT proponents just so much smarter than everyone else that us mere dumb mortals can’t comprehend it? Much less debate it.
You obviously think you are, yet you in life are an objective failure by all common metrics.
I think I’ll stay uninformed and dumb on how economics actually work according to you and keep building my empire and raking in the money.
So you’re saying that Venezuela nationalizing their oil industry was a contributor to the hyperinflation they’ve experienced?
Wholesale inflation surges 11.3% in June, accelerating more than expected (msn.com)
Nothing to see here. It is only transitory guys.
Just those pesky greedy businesses. Printing trillions and trillions has nothing to do with it. MMT says so.

Cue @castoli saying you are ignorant because they don’t really “print” the money.
I have accepted my ignorance. I will never be as smart as @castoli.
I think that would actually make him a “derelict,” under his original Zep persona.

I hate to be a conspiracy theorist but it almost feels like this is spiraling on purpose as it is an awfully convenient way to allow for promising free crap during election campaigns. Make people hurt and they are more likely to accept your (the politicians) BS.

You are confusing a user of the currency(which you are) and an issuer of the currency(the federal government).
So where did the money come from to initially to pay taxes?
It has nothing to do with smarts and has to do with indoctrination.
The financial oligarchs make the rules and anyone with two eyes can see the devastation it has brought. Industries concentrated into fewer and fewer hands and you think that is a good thing? I guess that all fits into your selfish economic philosophy of any way to make another buck. Fuck consequences as long as I’m doing better.

MMT says that constraints are real resources not creating currency
No. Venezuela pegged their currency to the U.S. dollar. And relied far too much on their main export oil.
Watch the video for an explanation.
