My goal might be maximum employment as the government.
Well, if my goal is maximum employment, Tom, I can hire you, say, hey, how about you be a mug picker-upper?
What's that?
Pick up this mug, put it in your right hand to your left hand, I'm gonna pay you $50,000 a year.
And if you do it a good job for six months, I'm gonna raise it to $80,000 a year.
well i achieved my goal of maximum employment but did i actually improve productivity and that's the difficult part is i people equate higher taxes to helping people and i think there's a big disconnect there i want to help people it is in my nature it is in my culture the sick religion is entirely based around this concept of seva which is selfless service helping people i hate the idea of seeing hungry people
But I think the government has to start by stop being so stupid with money.
And if you can be more efficient with money, then by all means, raise taxes in order to solve some of these problems.
But how are you going to solve the problems?
Because if you say, well, people are hungry.
Let's let them rob up to $950 without going to jail.
That's a problem.
And that does not fix the problem.
There's a lot of inefficiencies.
Now, I can't solve every problem in the world, unfortunately.
Unfortunately, because depending who you ask.
But the hope is, the idea is if I raise taxes, problems will be solved.
Sounds great.
I like the idea of solving problems.
What we've seen happen is that raising taxes, number one, doesn't fix the problem.
