I’m going to ask a question, it’ll probably sound like I’m just being a jerk or trying to pick a fight, but my intent is more just because I struggle to wrap my head around it.
When we talk of socialist, economics, high taxes and all of that stuff in the US almost all the left leaning states are doing poorly economically why is that? - I admit to being conservative in a lot of ways. I like to understand people though, like from my mindset I see it like every state that tries to do run under those policies and especially big cities struggle so why do people buy into it?
Is the belief that it’s just not being implemented correctly in those places?
Is it the mix of high tax states and still being a “sort of” capitalist country. Let’s not get lost on the vernacular of capitalist and socialist.
I'm just curious as to how people who the people who want high taxes, equal incomes and such believe it can be made to work?
