You seem to frame this issue in a way that is favorable to your claim, but I still think it is an oversimplification
I must concede that I am not aware of a democracy that seems to be working as I'd want, though your slogan gives the impression of an absolute law
In the interest of good relations, I suppose I can stretch that far.
Oh, I was hoping I could call a can't opener that doesn't work a can't't opener, but that is right out the window now I suppose.
Ah, but what do you then call an opener for a can't?
I suppose hints are not your thing. Anyway, what you describe could still be called a tax. In theory, we decide on the taxes ourselves in democracies
How about sweeping generalizations, oversimplifications and intellectual laziness, what are those?
OK, can we compromise and say that wealth tax and sales tax are both super fair, and that 100% of both would be best?
Here's what I did. 1. Don't drink stuff with alcohol in it. 2. ... I guess there isn't a step 2, or was that where you collect underpants? 3. Profit!
You're doing it again! Penguins don't have houses or igloos or glue. Therefore, THAT'S NOT FUNNY !!
I really struggle to see what you are trying to say here that is not a complete non sequitor
Also, in general, people being "angry" are often easily brushed aside in discussions, since they come off a bit as clowns, and as a blockage to civilized conversation.
This unfortunately happens whether or not the label "angry" is deserved or not.
an outlet for his anger before we can help him, but he has nothing useful to say. All nonsense of course, but still a majority of our population seems to have this attitude these days.

I know exactly what you mean, but I would not use the word angry, as I have learned it is problematic. All people to a certain degree base their thinking on emotions rather than logic.

It is great to see some real talk in here, as opposed to the usual trench warfare of "Capitalism is great!" "No it's terrible!" "No, it's great and you are a ...." nonsense and LR astroturfing!
Economics In One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt is one of the best books about economics I've read so far. I understand capitalism much better because of it.
