I mean, seriously. I was stupid enough to take on the burden of student loans. At least give me the dignity of having the responsibility of paying them off.

      Cutting taxes, removing frivolous programs, making it easier to start a business, making it easier to run a business, removing unnecessary restrictions to spur innovation, reducing the military budget…there are a lot of ways.

          That’s a good start. To help employers more we could eliminate minimum wage and provide a safety net for entrepreneurs simultaneously via universal basic income.

        I pay a lot of taxes. Those taxes are, primarily, used for the common good (schools, health care, roads, infrastructure etc.) Whatever is left of my paycheck I can spend as I see fit.

        I doubt cutting taxes will help y’all. Putting taxes to good use will

        Cutting taxes doesn’t trickle down. Making it cheaper and easier to run a business doesn’t either. Removing “frivolous programs” has tanked the economy.

        If you want to see what caused the end goals you speak of it was the new deal. Massive public investment paid by high taxes on high earners.

        I’m in Singapore, it’s stupid easy to run and start a business (I’ve helped with a few startups myself). Doesn’t translate to better paying jobs, let me tell you that.

        I think student loan write-off is putting money in the hands of young, educated, mostly single people, which is aimed at spurring innovation by allowing people to take risks at the start of their careers. So it’s not all of the things you’ve listed, but it’s one of the things. It’s similar to cutting taxes in effect.
