How to Raise the Minimum Quality of Life

in politics •  8 years ago 

I have to say, just from a personal perspective, I hate articles where the author rants about all the flaws in one argument (often straw men since no intelligent people devote significant efforts to obviously pointless endeavors) and then concludes with their hypothesis without giving any coherent argument themselves, any indication as to the assumptions they are working under, or any actionable intelligence whatsoever. I mean, we don't even know if this guy took econ 101. Does he even realize that these are problems and solutions that involve policies that span decades? Does he even understand how the American economy evolved over the last hundred years from a surplus economy to a deficit economy and how that transition was leveraged by central bankers and policymakers to guarantee that international capital flooded the US? No, he probably just thinks that taxing the rich solves every problem. Vox blows.
