>>509510786>They literally print money out of thin airWhich is just a very lazy tax via inflation. An extremely effective one, because the causality of them printing money, and people's money in their pocket becoming less valuable, is a line that most of the electorate doesn't understand. So instead of demanding the resignation of some faggot politician that is inflating shit, they shrug their shoulders and pretend the inflation is like the weather, an unknowable force of nature.
>>509510763>If only leftists had a solution to this problemYes, their solution is to kvetch about muh rich people, instead of targeting the incentive structure that allows rent seeking, they would rather allow the rent seeking, and then try to tax the wealthy person after they stole from the poors/middle class. Then filter that money through an inefficient government entity, so PART of it can be handed back to the people it was stolen from.
It's extremely frustrating how both left and right get bamboozled constantly, because the average voter can't even identity root causes of problems they perceive, let alone target those, instead of some downstream effect of the actual cause.
Instead of skull fucking businesses that hire illegals, which is the primary pull force behind migrants sneaking across the border, the right hyper fixates on expensive/showy deportations. Where it would be significantly cheaper/effective to cut them off from the labor market, and government subsidies, making living here impossible, and leading to mass self-deportation.
Or the left, and their fixation on muh rich people. Instead of identifying the ways those people became wealthy, and crushing the unethical ones. Most rich people will be dead and gone, and their heirs will have pissed most of it away in a hundred years or so, but if you leave the systemic problems in play (mostly rent seeking in various skin suits), you'll just have some new bezos cunt in a hundred years.
