Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I think that there should be fixed levels of income from jobs, alongside universal benefits and a ceiling on wealth and assets. Personal wealth should have a hard cap, while businesses have their cap determined by employee head count. There can also be an UBI income lotto funded by companies, which allows them to increases their wealth cap - effectively allowing them to healthily grow as reliance on AI increases. People who had jobs displaced by AI get access to the income lotto first, followed by the disabled.
Education shouldn't just be free, it should be treated as job, paying people according to their grades. This encourages people to focus on their studies and a healthy work/life balance, instead of having to constantly juggling a meeting ends gig.
We have centuries of inherited rot from capitalistic practices, it would take a radical restructuring to make things fair. Similar to the Constitution and Magna Carta, where principles and rules are laid out to prevent absolute monarchy. Billionaires are the kings of our time, so we should have an economic ruleset designed from the outset to prevent their existence.

I agree with this but sadly in a multi national world the ultra wealthy will simply flee to some tax haven country as primary residency.
