I have a weird idea. Much of what I see the left promoting is very luxury. A luxury can be a fast food visit, a new console, or some cool new item. It's not necessary, but it's fun. The prices of these are going up.
Necessity items are gas, electricity, food in the fridge, and internet. The prices for these are going down.
There's a weird upper middle class that wants necessities as luxuries. This is the "Farmers Market" fresh, Whole Foods, and gaming PCs for work. The price going up makes them feel better, because they think the value goes up as well.
No idea how to explain this to a lefty.
The left is trying their very best to make gasoline, gas & electricity as HIGH PRICED as possible.
This will hurt the poor the most, of course, but that's OK! The poor will be taken care of by the government, who will "tax the rich" (but not the leftist rich!) to pay for it all.
Trying to explain ANY math or economics to leftists is virtually impossible. They lack the basic common-sense understanding of any of it, preferring dogma and slogans to replace it.
Simple shit! John has 10 apples, I take 2 for taxes. Suzy has 100 apples, I take 10. WHO paid more taxes? The gross number says Suzy, but the rate of taxation says poor John did.
They look at things like "Carbon Tax" and claim it isn't recessive, that it doesn't tax the poor good & hard. But it does 😣 right where it hurts! Food, transport & shelter hit hardest.
PS: I know the top 5% in the USA pay over 50% of all taxation, but even that is an anathema to the leftists. In reality we'd take 50 of Suzy's apples and give John 2 of those, leaving him with 12 :/ They'd still claim Suzy didn't pay "her fair share" because she still had 6X as many apples as John does. 🤡
It is a lot stranger than you think. The elite left, the limousine liberals, want exactly this, for two fold reasons: they are not affected financially by increased prices, and they are integrated into the systems that will financially profit from those items increased prices. The working class left, their base [aside from the leeching foreign brownoids] believe that adopting the elites beliefs means they are brought into the fold and are in the elite class themselves.
"Luxury beliefs" they are called. Which are low/zero cost to actual elite leftists, but the working class leftists are so concerned about their status that they signal their alignment with the elites at a determent to themselves. They would rather signal to others that they are in a higher status than they really are than admit to themselves [or others], that they are affected.
That is how much the average leftists hates themselves, their real status, and their fellow men.
One has an excess and the other is left starving.
😹 We should take another 30 away from Suzy, eh? In reality I mean.
Notice how the Gov't takes 50 but only gives 2 to "the poor" eh? Where does the rest go, I wonder? 🤔
There will always be those at the top, but we shouldn't allow it to be private interests with no interest in the nation or blood. That's how jews were able to get a hold of our nations.
