It puzzles me why leftist parties don’t all embrace lower taxes for the middle class.
They all do. My best guess as to why you’d say this is that you’re including Democrats.
edit: Or, I could be a self-centered American that didn’t consider others. I’ll do better.
At risk of a strawman…
The shortest path to equality is to greatly reduce taxes on the middle class and increase them on the wealthy.
That’s what’s best for equality and for economic growth. Does this mean Democrats are horribly incompetent? Perhaps it’s that equality and economic growth aren’t their goals.
Considering the strains currently on the environment, finding a way forward that doesn’t require continual growth is likely a necessity for our long term survival (possibly short term too)
We can, but it requires not having billionaires.
No more billionaires, but everyone can be a millionaire.

It’s also possible they’re not from the US. There are dozens of us. Dozens!
Fuck. I’m being a self-centered American, again. I’ll do better in the future. Thanks for the help.

But, muh’ capitalism!
If it doesn’t work then we’ve killed all these socialists and communist for nothing.
(Do I need a /s here? Is it obvious? Should be obvious.)
Functionally, we don’t have one. The closest is the Green Party, but they’re so powerless that they may as well not exist.
A lot of leftist view taxes as a good thing, when taken from those who can afford them
Taxes have never been the issue. How they are used is. But that gets obfuscated so that the 99% shoot ourselves in the foot
You’re wrong. It doesn’t require no money. It requires that you have rejected the sucker for money.
Only in a perfect world.
This is literally the future Jesus’ theoretical return presents but a lot of (not all) Christians aren’t on board.
Yeah, people have believed in dumb shit like that since our species emerged from the primordial ooze.
Only in any world that doesn’t die shortly thereafter.
This world isn’t going to die.
It’s just going to change.
Our species might though.
Depends on the path we take. They’re after my truth.
