    Debt is caused by the rich refusing to contribute. Everyone needs adequate healthcare, housing, clean food and water, transport, and a pristine environment.

      This argument lends weight to the specious idea that taxation on wealth hoarding is necessary to pay for the provision of society.

      Provisioning healthcare, housing, food, water, transport, and a liveable environment is not constrained by financing, it’s an exclusively social and political choice to not allocate or deploy the appropriate resources.

      The financially obese should be euthanised through taxation, not because we need their money, but because they’re an existential threat to any society that tolerates them.
