Exactly.

What do you think happens when you print trillions of dollars and give it to bankers and corporations?

>Is it so inconceivable that maybe we've swung too far from too much taxes to too little taxes on the wealthy?
No because during the 1950s we had lower taxes than today.
People saving money and starting businesses is what grows an economy. It's absolutely incredible anyone would think taking this money away and having the government waste it would be good for the economy.

>and endeavored to fix our infrastructure
The infrastructure is worthless without an economy. We need to produce consumer goods. MORE products and services like food, technology medicine etc. More capital goods like concrete, steel, oil. The building blocks that allow consumer goods to exist.

China steals from their people and all they do is build infrastructure. Now they have ghost cities.

> and instead of cutting back on social security benefits
Which is bankrupt and generation Y isn't going to see any of it whatsoever. We should be allowed to OPT out so we can be free to save the money ourselves and invest it how we want.
