It's Facebook/Meta.
Is OP expecting doctors there?

Nobody on the left gives a flying fuck about "taxing the rich."

That's a purely liberal pretend-solution.

right, it would just end up in the hands of weapon manufacturers anyway, doesn't matter how much we tax anyone, the simple fact is it wont make it to anyone who needs it

you're getting downvoted because there's too many stupid people here who think the orphan crushing machine is acceptable so long as the government gets a cut and the rich get a chance to hide their wealth in offshore accounts.

Liberal propagandists love this whole "tax the rich" horseshit because they, like the billionaire parasites they truly represent, know perfectly well that taxing them a slight bit more (which would be a best case scenario) poses absolutely zero threat to their private ownership over the means of production.

You don't beat billionaire parasites through taxation - you beat them through public infrastructure.

You can tell this is a leftist community because 1/4 of the time there's someone in the comments calling half of leftist ideologies libs, based solely on the fact that they kinda don't like them.

That's not the tell. The tell is in the replies to that person. Someone will read their comment, somehow completely ignore the central point being raised, project their own complete lack of seriousness onto them, then mug at the crowd for approval.

Since when does "half of leftist ideologies" fetishise private ownership over the means of production?

whether or not they are leftist, billionaires being OK so long as the government gets a cut is a liberal position. if you don't want to be called a duck, you shouldn't go around quacking and wearing feathers like one.

Oh really? Do tell, what does a true Scotsman actually want?

what they mean, mr. snarkmaster 9000, is that there should not be any rich

Do tell, liberal - is it your own right-wing ideology you do not understand? Or is it that you understand neither your own ideology or anything that can be called leftist with a straight face?

Or is it a question of both?
