    Taxes are necessary but if they are too high it lessens the motivation to work. The purpose of working hard is to make money not give it away. If Russia conquers Ukraine, it will lead to more defense spending as the threat from Russia would increase. Giving the Sudetenland to Hitler didn’t appease him.

      False. China has lower inequality and simultaneously far greater economic growth and more innovation.

      And Putin is bad, but not remotely as harmful to world peace as the US regime. The US (both parties) has been involved in literally 200 military interventions just in the last few decades.

      Democracy is not when a black woman is chosen as the Nurembeg-deserving war criminal in chief.

        Military intervention does not mean harming world peace. Examples, World War I and II and Korean War.
