Don't know where to start with this one. Creating more political parties just splits the vote. In a "first pass the post" election set up, this would be a disaster. Allowing someone to become extremely rich is not necessarily a problem. The problem should really be looked at more from the gap between them and the normies. Shrink that gap and that lessons the problem. The biggest problem with extreme wealth in an individual or corporation is the outsized influence they have on politics and government. Your SC's citizen united decision is the real problem that generates a lot of the hate for the rich. Rich people don't want to be taxed more (in general) so if you try to force it on them they will look for solutions like relocating their tax home. You would need to have tools to punish attempts to do this, like loss of citizenship and asset seizures. These are not popular steps and could sink any initiative before it begins. Those are just some of the problems I see. There are many, many more.

I have serious reservations about the patent system. After Apple was granted a patent several years ago where it was granted for their use of facial recognition to open the iPhone. They didn't invent either technology but were granted this. I don't know what came of it but I never heard of it being overturned.
I wasn't referring to our select tariffs I was referring to the orange baboon being allowed to, by Canada's lack of response, give relief to certain industries where a tariff would hurt the U.S.. If we let him pick and choose without making all his constituents feel the pinch I think we're giving him an easy win. Now I'm not entirely against Canada doing selective retaliation against mostly red states but I question the whole approach to tariffs at all. My preference would be for Canada to add an export tax. Appease trump by saying yeh, you're right, we've been totally unfair to you (or something like that), so we're going to tax all our exports to level the playing field. Then Canada keeps the money and trump can't raise money through this approach to trade. Now I don't discount that he would still have tariffs and so this would be a double hit to Canadian exports, but I'm curious how this would play out.
The title was a bit confusing. I think your point is that it should also be taught at parochial schools. There is no doubt this is the case. The thing that gets me is that is comes down to what public (or private to some extent) educations goal should be. I think that schools should teach all topics as it is important to expose kids to all aspects of life and let their passions lead them to a satisfying path. Others think that parents should have more control in restricting what topics are covered. I think there is a way to honour both approaches but there is conflict in its organization.
As more and more people drift away from corporate control of our connections, I wonder when the U.S. will introduce laws to ban these user controlled environments in the name of national security.
I'm against child quotas but for education on what exactly population growth and shrinkage entails. Let people understand what the implications and solutions are for the various scenarios of the future. Ultimately I see a profound lack of hope for our futures is leading young people to not want to bring a child into the world older generations have built. I am with them 100%. A solution I have introduced in previous discussions is a suicide pill that any elderly that can no longer be supported by society could take to avoid and painful and lonely death. That has not gone over well, lol.
Why is Canada letting dipshit pick and choose which industries he protects for political reasons. Canada should switch from the tariff method and put an export tax on everything.
Thanks. I wasn't aware of the specific mechanism in our trade agreements. No government should be compromising their right to make public policy.
I'm not a bigot at all. I'm only questioning how practical mass immigration is in the modern age.
What will they do when violence begins in the west? Run away again?
It cannot be countered at all, no matter what you do with capitalism. It can be slightly mitigated in order to provide time to adapt, which should include substantial reductions in population.
