00:00:00.000Socialism and communism, the lack of incentives, I don't know how many people want to live in the world, you can't buy a Lamborghini, I disagree, I believe, but there could be some sort of socialism.
00:00:09.880Is it like just socialism as a whole, or even socialist policies don't work?
00:00:14.360Even socialist policies are part of what doesn't work, right?
00:00:17.320Like, socialism is like bringing all socialist policies together, and they don't work.
00:00:21.640So, like, if you get, it's like one of the biggest things that socialism is like, oh, hey, let's tax the rich,
00:00:28.000and then we'll take all their money and give that to the poor.
00:00:30.360But we want the rich to continue to make money, right?
00:00:32.940But they won't if we take all their money from them.
00:00:57.360I like free health care, like basic amenities of life, you know, of basic income, especially
00:01:04.900for people who have disabilities, who are at a national disadvantage to compete in a capitalist
00:01:10.800market, so disabled people essentially, and even if you look at like lower incomes in
00:01:17.600the society, like blue-collar workers, they don't have a lot of money to pay for expensive
00:01:25.160health care, a healthy diet, you know, like that consists of a whole lot of nutrients that you need.
00:01:32.220I think blue-collar workers actually, I think this is probably one of the things that they don't quite accurately portray in the university system.
00:01:40.520Blue-collar workers actually earn a lot. Like a student going right out of high school to work as a welder, like my brother,
00:01:48.740earns a lot more than some of the entry-level jobs that you get after your degree in some of these offices.
00:01:54.140When you're talking about sort of average, you know, like if you compare a sweeper or somebody who leaves a toilet on a general level, you know.
00:02:02.920Even then, like sort of lower income level workers, right?
00:02:06.900That's a whole, whether that be students or anything, right?
00:02:10.240Like I fully believe that there should be a free market, but I understand that with the amount of inequality that's sort of happening,
00:02:17.320Sometimes a government should step in and provide welfare, provide benefits, so those who have been sort of at a disadvantage.
00:02:27.320Right, okay, so I do think there should be like a minimum amount of welfare.
00:02:33.320So people who can't work, then there should be a little bit of welfare for them, right?0.96
00:03:06.460Because then we know who should have welfare and who shouldn't.
00:03:09.660Like, if you have this, like, vast welfare system where the government is basically totally indifferent and just looking like, oh, hey, this person says they qualify, all right, let's give them welfare.
00:03:18.760But, like, at a local level, when you do it locally or municipally, then you can say, okay, this person actually does need the welfare and this one is actually just lying, right?
00:03:31.020Government-provided facilities are always, they're always going to be inefficient, right?
00:03:35.380What I like to think about is, do the cost, outfit, and the benefit.
00:03:39.660So, if you have a social society that pays for welfare, even though it is going to be inefficient, the amount of good it brings is probably going to be greater than the inefficiency it brings along with it.
00:03:51.040I know it's a very subjective or it's not a quantitative statement that can be tested, but this is what I personally agree with, you know?
00:03:59.580Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. So like government in general, when you give them that much power over like welfare or like huge amounts of taxes, like when you, the more power you give them, you can't like, you can't really expect them to be totally honest.
00:04:17.000like the government is made of a lot of really dishonest people a lot of people who want power
00:04:21.020right and they're they like people like especially like more left-leaning parties they will they
00:04:27.140basically bribe lower middle class people to vote for them because they're promising
00:04:31.400welfare free stuff right and then it doesn't come it doesn't happen or it happens only in
00:04:37.240small amounts and it's like super inefficient yeah so like for me i think the government should
00:04:42.420I think it should be more on local level with charities and if taxes were less, like when we had less taxes, we had a lot more charitable giving, like a lot more.
00:04:53.460And as soon as we started rule that welfare programs, charitable giving actually dropped, especially in the States.
00:04:59.060So I think if we had it more on a local level with people like freely giving, like for people to say that the rich don't actually care about the lower class, like I actually disagree.0.92
00:05:11.220like we have so many like the gays foundation all these different foundations that they're pouring0.94
00:05:15.540their money into and like signing these like these promises at their death to give half of their0.94
00:05:20.540income away or half of their net worth right like they do want to give their stuff away but they
00:05:24.980just can't so taxing them too much is just not the way to go about it i also agree with you don't
00:05:30.200need to just really tax the rich because it's kind of hard to do so they have so many systems
00:05:34.940So, to prevent that from happening in the first place.
00:05:38.820But I agree with what you're saying about the community level and church.
00:05:42.900It should definitely be a lot more involvement.
00:05:46.220Sort of bring back a lot of morals into this country and into communities.
00:05:49.860But how do you think that can be done?
00:05:52.640I really want, I'd like to see that happen.
00:05:55.240See, bringing back morals, I think part of that should come through the educational system.
00:06:00.640I think there should be some basic morality taught in published school, right?
00:06:03.860Like, I think we can all agree on, like, the Ten Commandments, which we were, like, our country was founded on the Ten Commandments, and, like, there's, like, that's, like, saying, like, hey, don't steal, don't kill, go quit adultery, stuff like that.
00:06:14.540Like, I feel like that's stuff that we can agree on and get people to, like, okay, like, that's not necessarily, like, like, it is a Christian moral standard, but it's also, like, something they can believe even outside of Christianity, right?
00:06:24.840Yeah, exactly. And even if it is a Christian moral sign, that's sort of what society today adopts as.
00:06:30.560It's morality just takes away the Christianity from it.
00:06:34.200Yeah. And like there was a study done once where they gave students the ability to cheat.
