Pikachoo Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 (edited) a million dollar networth is barely enough to live in Canada. it's the bare minimum needed for someone to retire Edited June 6 by Pikachoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack! Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 (edited) Capitalism and succession will literally only continue to grow and the austerity vs. prosperity movements that are continually implemented by governments around the globe feed this idea since it's better for people in power for elitists to be richer than ever even if it means the gap between living comfortably and scraping by widens to an uncomfortable level. The US has had a left wing government for the last 4 years and what exactly have they done to soften the blow on its low-income population? It'll only be a few years until todays working class are considered poor, if we're not thresholding that already. Edited June 6 by Jack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Biden maybe sees himself as more centric but in spite of that isn't it important for a president to keep to the core idealisms of a party? 16 minutes ago, Communion said: *blinks* *deep heavy sigh* Maybe using the US political system isn't a great example to get across the point I was trying to, but austerity is one of many things keeping the rich rich and making the poor poorer. I live in the UK and the reason a conservative government has managed to stay in power for so long is because their policies and stance on taxing has allowed the rich population of the country to live "rent free" (in a figurative way). All while lower-wage workers are paying more in comparison to what they earn so to cover for government cuts on top of house prices, food prices, household bill costs all rising but the wages aren't rising to meet it. And that's not UK or US centric, I get it, it's a global problem. But having a salary reflective tax bracket system is a simple and effective way to begin evening out the odds. A lot of governments are choosing not to do it, at least not extensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More or less, but the modern Democratic Party is a centrist party with a progressive wing. The DNC highly favors more right-wing Democrats over genuine left-wing Democrats.
