We basically have a caste system in this country.
libertarians like her.
libertarians have become unable to call out fascism.
libertarians are on board with keynesian anti-humanism now.
It's amazing how a war on poverty becomes a war on the poor.

to be a libertarian you must believe the following:
In the situation of fascism, a monolithic alignment of interests between the state and large corporations, corporations are blameless.

Stratification based on wealth and not birth line is not a caste system.
If some idiot rapper or athlete makes a ton of dough, nobody prevents him from living really well before he blows it all.
Why would working class people vote Republican!
We basically have a caste system in this country.
Exactly and it’s, for example, why they don’t want more IRS agents.
I strongly disagree with most other liberals on the inheritance tax, or on the notion that accumulated family wealth is a bad thing.
I personally live a lifestyle incompatible with my own ability to generate wealth,
so the ability to do so is what makes life worth living to me.
My fellow liberals go completely off the track when they think in terms of unnecessary economic ceilings rather than necessary economic floors.
Further, it's quite clear that wealth can be and is generated from scratch as technology evolves,
and that acquired generational wealth also dissipates with time.
One other thing. If some measure of inheritance tax needs to be applied, it should only kick in when assets are liquidated to cash.
If inheritors want to keep things like businesses or mansions, or art collections or whatnot intact, they should be able to do so.
If they want to liquidate them for cash, then some reasonable tax might be applied.
The Republican party is Austrian school too now butt plug
It is when you provide the poor no way to migrate from the poor caste

The oppression is real, but it doesn't represent a caste system.
It merely represents incompetent social management.
It represents capitalism with insufficient socialist moderation.
If capitalism and socialism don't work in well-balanced parallel,
as they don't in America--or North Korea, going the other way--
a socially regressive society is the only possible result.
This is true, but it is much harder for a poor person in out culture to make huge money, and especially hard to do it with hard work at a society improving occupation.
I live in an expensive neighborhood, my house is one of the less expensive ones.
One of my neighbors works an hourly salary job as a manager in a small golf store, his wife doesn’t work outside the home. They live on the water in a recently purchased 4.5 million dollar home.
Another couple I know in an even more expensive home work at the Apple Store and the wife as a nurse.
These are honorable professions, but they clearly do not pay even the mortgage on these homes that tend to increase im value by more than the Dow. They clearly have generational family money…the equity increase in their homes is higher than the average salary or the majority of Americans.
The result is that a very hard working family in valuable jobs such as EMS, or police officer will never improve their situation with hard work.
Our system of perpetuating generational wealth for hundreds years voids the basic principles of Capitalism. Yet, working class Republicans fight tooth and nail to keep taxes low on those living the high life by no merit of their own.
