Okay, here is serious.
one point didn't raise before but is important to include is the role of government in preventing cheating. Most of the financial engineering world is cheating. off the top of my head, I see the following as cheating. Stock buybacks, high-frequency trading, price-fixing, cartels, monopolies and real estate investment trusts, taking government money to develop a product and not paying it back as an investment by the government.(looking at you drug companies).
to your points, I do not see any data in the budget that says that when you lower taxes, you bring in more revenue. Consistently when taxes are lowered, the deficit increases. On top of that, the Republicans consistently loft the deficit by spending too much on nonproduction programs and making it possible for the wealthy to evade taxes, thereby putting more of the tax burden on lower-income people.
basic Safety net should ensure that nobody ever goes bankrupt from medical expenses or denies themselves care because they can't afford it. This is full-body, dental, and mind coverage. Depression is a killer in many ways. Failure to treat dental creates chronic illnesses.
I would pay fully for any medical degree, especially if the doctors were contractually bound to provide service for ten years and low-income/underserved communities. Getting a degree and entering a high-profit specialty like plastic surgery is cheating the rest of us.
fully paying for trades and making it easy to get a union internship would be a good way to ensure that if someone starts a trade program, complete the trade program. there should also be no penalty for failing.
it depends on the free shit. For example, every UBI trial shows that you give people free money, and they do responsible things with that money, enabling them and their children to improve their lot. If you give the wealthy free money, they use it to buy up assets, and extract rent from everybody else.
The world I grew up in was a very blue-collar factory world. High school was a factory producing workers for local shops and businesses. If you went to college, it was to become a white-collar worker for local business. I knew many kids in high school who got fully paid rides to college. I've also known some wealthy kids whose parents paid 100% for their college. I won't claim every person that got an full ride was inspired to do better but a lot of them did well. The advantage of the full ride was they didn't have to worry about how to get their education paid for and completing it. It's amazing how not having to worry about where your next meal is coming from, how to pay for your school, rent or medical care frees your mind up and let you focus on getting ahead in life.
The whole mythos of people getting free shit won't do anything with their lives comes from the illusion of meritocracy, if you become successful, you did it all yourself and deserve it. It is a self-rationalization to justify keeping all the money for yourself and denying resources and money to those not as rich as you are. It is far more likely your success starts with where you are born, who your parents are, and where you go to school. Google success based on ZIP Code for more articles on this topic.
