Radical Idea to help the poor...
Reduce the price of everything, by how much? My math is bad, but here is an example:
Something that costs $1.00 take off the two zeros, it now costs 1c
Something costing $10.00
Now costs 10c
Basically, killing off the .00
If the whole world would do this, all our money would buy more, and everything around the globe is cheaper.
Poor will celebrate a better life.
Reduce the cost,
not the income.
Just an idea.
@RegGuy I would like the richest people to pay the most tax, headed to help the poorest of us...
I sometimes cant afford food. SSDI has not risen equal to inflation and costs of living since I started getting it about 1998. Watching it not rise enough, and new costs like internet and phone service skyrocketing costs of living. The income cap that is required to obtain food stamps, is far too low.
I get now $17. a month for food stamps. Ridiculous and unnecessary suffering surrounds me :(
@RegGuy Richer people can still survive with the loss of a lot of their funds.
I cant even afford the copay for some MRI's my doctor wants. $200, and I am declining. Need the $200 for needs.
And a bill for $900 for an ambulance I never asked for, followed by ongoing abuse for days after. I might as well sue them for physical and emotional abuse, might cost less.
@GreenRoc oh, I know. Torment of the poor is a feature of our society, not a flaw.
If my SS had been a Roth IRA not SS, I would not be paying taxes on it again. It's infuriating that Bezos pays no taxes and I pay tax on my post tax SS. Stupid system that punishes those who work and those who cannot.
