'Cuz you ain't been doin nothin', if you ain't been called a red, if you've marched or agitated, then you're bound to hear it said...
Well, if you want to abolish currency, inheritance, and all personal property you may be far left. Otherwise you may just be a compassionate for the poor.

Why is the proposed solution always to just pay people more and not just make things cost less? The only reason I can find is that making things cost less doesn't provide a scapegoat for everybody to rally behind, even though it would be more effective.
Or just give people food. Where tf u bringing up cost of goods from?
Because the stock market is the economy as far as our leaders are concerned. And they decided that anything other than green line go up is abhorrent.
Money is a means of determining the distribution of resources. It doesn't matter if stuff costs less or if people make more money, what matters is that nessecities, at a minimum, are more equitably distributed. You can make that end goal take different forms. Money is a little awkward for that end because you use money to purchase both food and nice cars.
