Terrible interview, because it was too broad -- too many contentious issues.
Comment section is inadequate to debate/discuss all items that I would dispute with BJG or other socialists. I’ll stick to one issue for now. Financial Bigotry of “progressive” taxes, the bedrock bigotry of all liberals and socialists.
BJG wants a wealth tax to take from Musk (and others) so that she can subsidize tuition, among other things. That is step one. Next step, a poor, single woman with 7 kids claims she has a greater need for a 5-bedroom home than does a wealthy doctor and his two-child family. Yes, social and economic leveling expropriates the doctor’s home and it is given to the unemployed, single mother with 7 kids. What government agent forced this change and according to what rules was it done? What was the race of the government agent? His/her religion, race, geographic identity? Who determines justice of such an expropriation and how often will this transpire? Will poor illegal immigrants create even larger families as a vehicle to a larger home, expropriated from some other hapless soul? Who will learn about the ’incentive’ to have a large number of kids?
Regarding the wealth tax, where does this process end? What is fair? (had to ask since Bernie and other commies never define the word) Who expropriates the “overtime” time pay that a worker receives to pay for another person’s new suit or holiday vacation? Will all jobs pay equally? Will college deans, provosts, and other diversity educrates be paid the same as a kindergarten teacher, since educrats only make simple political decisions and are unaccountable to those whom they purported serve? Can anyone seriously argue that a DEI Provost needs an advanced degree to issue dictates and quotas? Why are these educrates paid so much? What is the case that they add even 1/10th the value compared to what they are paid? No doubt, the high cost of college is somewhat a function of the compensation rates paid to the educrat class.
Steps 3-10,000? Who will construct the matrix of fairness, expropriation, subsidies, for consumer goods and real estate? End game is clear, unjust, and insane. How will this be done “democratically” according to democratic socialists?
