'STUDENTS' - this word is the problem. Students are those studying to become engineers/surgeons[producers] and those studying sociology/gender_studies[parasites].

That's why so many people in humanities departments are liberals/communists. How else is a sociology student going to get a smartphone? They have to tax producers, take their money by getting a fake job in some non-profit/government agency/college and receive a salary there[taken from tax dollars].

The word 'student' makes it seem like we're all in this together, but we aren't. Parasites are eating us alive.

I agree with the sentiment 100%, however there is reasonably only so many producers our society needs. We could give the non-producers a basic income. If it's disparate, you end up with class warfare. If there is not a large disparity, the producers stop producing since they can get the same outcome by sitting on their ass. Not sure what the solution is.

There is a solution and it's very simple:

- Kill the parasites.

Producers are taxed at nearly 50% rate[income + sales tax + property + wage + others] on what they make. If we kill off the parasites, then we would have to work almost 50% less to have the same standard of living as we have now. Imagine: 20 hours/week. You could work 2-3 days and then enjoy the rest. Or 1 person could work and the other one would stay at home and take care of their children.

It makes sense to reward people you love and who are productive. But, these are parasites and the correct course of action is to, not reward them with cash and goods we producers make, but to kill them and enjoy our lives.

Don't you agree?

>>however there is reasonably only so many producers our society needs.

The bigger problem is in not wanting to be a producer. Producers aren't just Engineers/Surgeons. Plumber, Welders, Carpenters, Drivers etc these guys are producers too.

Producers are people who are exchanging real effort for money. Jobs created(which don't even have to exist), just to provide people a salary are what I would call consumers.
