First I would have the FCC reign in Fox News disinformation because we’ll probably never get anywhere when 100 million Americans are being brainwashed daily
Campaign finance reform
Term limits and maybe age limits in public office
Ranked voting to help get rid of the two party system
It would be great to somehow change corporate governance to require them to prioritize all stakeholders and not just shareholders but I don’t know how to do this
Maybe a requirement for publicly traded companies to have one seat on the board of directors be elected by the employees to represent their interests, perhaps a requirement that maybe 10% of shares issued and outstanding be owned by said employees
Some reasonable and actionable ideas to chew on. None have anything to do with tax. The comic and this conversation have pretty much nothing to do with tax so idk wtf is going on here except that you’re generally pissed off. And, as I said from the beginning, im not surprised because there’s tons of ignorant people like you on lemmy who are very loud about their uninformed opinions and don’t bring any actual solutions to the table.
given that you actually haven’t been able to directly disagree (no, talking vaguely around the subject doesn’t count) with a single thing I’ve said, this is a fun statement to make
i also like how this discussion simultaneously
has nothing to do with tax
has everything to do with tax and that that’s why you’re the expert and why i need to listen to you
You haven’t even said anything to agree or disagree with! Lmao goddamn you are thick. No comments about my suggestions and again with the general malaise. I dunno what you want except to bitch. Pretty much done here unless you can actually add something of value to the conversation, there’s not much left here it’s like I’m talking to a wall. As usual.
at first i thought you were just being intentionally obtuse in the classic Reddit™ argument style where you don’t really understand how to back up a position, so you just disagree with everything the other person says
but now i’m slightly concerned at your apparent inability to like…comprehend words…?
e.g., i’ve said:
you don’t have any problem with corporate influence over what children learn in schools
most people would actually find that statement easy to disagree with. very easy, in fact.
but you’re really seeming to struggle for some reason
are you like…okay?
(in case you somehow missed it the numerous other times i’ve clarified, we’re discussing whether or not propagandizing to children is a good thing or not…at least we were until you started just straight up inventing my side of the conversation)

Disappointing. I thought that’s a pretty reasonable start.
Sounds like you’re against private schools (corporate owned) and deductions for charity contributions (unpopular opinion).
OP has nothing to do with tax. My original point. (I think, it’s been a lot of tiresome bickering with you and you’re too far gone.)
You’re angry about education policy and corporate governance, not tax policy. Get your act straight before you go talking shit about stuff you don’t understand.
Get your act straight before you go talking shit about stuff you don’t understand.
this is amazing, are you a real person?
you’re still yet to manage to even disagree with any statement i’ve made and you’re still coming up with gold like this
i’m going to give you a step by step, so that you can actually manage to make an argument (past whining about how being an expert on tax makes you an expert on a discussion you don’t even believe is about tax)
I disagree with every bullet point because this comic isn’t about tax. If you would stop being such a knucklehead and respond to MY bullet points maybe you’d see we actually do have common ground. This isn’t a tax issue. I don’t know how to be more clear than that.
given that the above is crystal clear, at this point I’m just interested in watching the imaginary argument you’re having inside your head unfold
Here, I’ll start for you:

Your move chief.

No comment regarding any of this?

no, because it’s not relevant?

given that one of the bulletpoints is this:
you are either very bad at the thing you claim to be an expert in, or you don’t fully understand the meaning of the word “disagree”
