This should be fixed through actual socialism (not communism which is what a lot of people in the USA believe "socialism" means).

But do you understand that taxes don't pay for anything? They are just a drop in the bucket and a means to keep you and me down. They are a drain on the people, and do not serve any significant funding because as you say, the Fed prints any trillions it feels like, which becomes debt for Joe Average.

No, besides socialist policies, the private central banks must be ended and the money must be created by the nation itself. This is a given. And then public debt voided.

An example of socialist policy would be a law that a corporation MUST firstly increase worker compensation by last year's inflation number BEFORE anything else. And also that its workforce must be proporational to its turnover, so that you don't end up having 20 people doing the work of 100.

I'm not calling for that 😂 nor am I interested in a game that is silly we got this system and working the system is what we are calling for. Tax the wealthy the same as us pay a living wage educate the population. Remember it's the young who inherrit what we do. Right now it's upside down. We don't need to upend the system we just need to adjust it. Taxes for the common good is better.

What do you mean? You are talking about actual socialism. That's fine, that's the solution, we agree, and yet you say you're "not calling for that"? What "that"?

Capitalism needs to be regulated so Joe Average doesn't get shafted. Any regulation to capitalism that aims to reduce iniquity is socialism. It's a GOOD thing no matter that the 'newspeak' definition of the word is made to scare people away.
