money is fake (for the government anyhow). We don’t need to do “fiscal responsibility” rhetoric, it only works against us, and emphasizing “taxpayer” delegitimizes the contributions of the disabled, destitute, and those doing unpaid but societally necessary labor
Money is as real as people agree on it being which currently is very real.
“Money isn’t real” is rhetorically correct but that rhetoric can’t be exchanged for food.
Also wasting less money buying tanks for police and other countries should absolutely be a goal. We could have universal Healthcare and zero homelessness if taxes were actually applied for the benefit of society.
social democracy isn’t a great goal, and while it’d certainly be a huge improvement that I’d support, that doesn’t mean I’m going to use its more unsavory rhetoric.
