You answered 0 of my questions and instead responded with a bunch of non sequitur straw men. Be better.

Gotcha, so like free market socialism.

It seems that you’re proposing that there’s some point of sustainable economic output. Under all socialist states once that sustainable point is reached economic output would be frozen and from thereafter only that level of economic output is achieved.

Then what happens? Do you also freeze population levels somehow? Do you start restricting who has access to resources they need because there are more people than resources than can be produced under the economic output cap?

Not trying to JAQ off here, which societies have been more effective and successfully built by market socialism. Wikipedia only lists a few failed states as having implemented Market Socialism. Also listed is Vietnam, which seems to be doing okay. Most of the growth seems to be coming from trade and investment from capitalist countries in the past 20 years or so. So is their success coming from Market Socialism or excess wealth from Capitalist counties?

Regardless of where their wealth comes from they do seem to be doing a good job of reducing income inequality while raising the standard of living for a lot of citizens.

I appreciate your sentiment, but your lived experience is not everyone else’s lived experience.

My lived experience is racism is dead because I’m not racist and neither are friends.

Sexual assault doesn’t happen because I’ve never sexually assaulted anyone and only one person I know has been sexually assaulted.

The economy is doing great because my company handed out $10k bonuses to all employees this year along with a 5% raise.

Which lived experience should we believe?

Please educate me.

You can’t deduct your mortgage from your taxes, only the interest. And only on mortgages related to your first or second home. From irs.gov

This part explains what you can deduct as home mortgage interest. It includes discussions on points and how to report deductible interest on your tax return.

Generally, home mortgage interest is any interest you pay on a loan secured by your home (main home or a second home). The loan may be a mortgage to buy your home, or a second mortgage.

That doesn’t really make sense, but I appreciate the honest effort.

Good luck, I hope you remember that one of Trump and Biden is going to be the next president whether you vote or not. Which one do you think is going to push the US farther to right? (That’s a rhetorical question that you should answer for yourself, no one else’s opinion really matters here)

And you dont see how voting for the “lesser evil” allows both parties to move further and further right?

I see a lot of people who aren’t voting using this logic and I don’t really understand it.

If there are some number of candidates running, and the most left wing candidate wins each time, how does that push the country to the right?
