these people *really* believe that giving benefits actually just makes money appear. There is no such thing as a bad investment.

@sickburnbro
Their math is correct.

No... The real issue isn't that circulation creates value. It is in the 0th step of:

Where did you get the 1 dollar you give? If you took it, then the taxed person won't buy the stuff he really needed in the first place. And if you print it, then you stole from everyone, and they won't be able to buy stuff thanks to price increase.

That is the issue. The "you give a dollar" cannot happen without "you take a dollar" before it.

@LukeAlmighty correct; it takes effort to deliver the $1 in benefits. But they don't understand what that means.

@sickburnbro
Yes... But the critique isn't "they are trading the same dollar", since each transaction is adding value for both parties in each of them.

People need to be precise in their critique. even though, the original post was retardeded to begin with, so it's easy to miss the economic mistake among the 100 semantic ones.

@LukeAlmighty the problem is that the original poaster doesn't care about economics, any correction will be ignored, they care about free gibs and will use any tool they can find to justify

Obviously, but every online debate is a public demonstration of your principles.

And also a good brain trainer.

@LukeAlmighty yes, and my principal is making the sickest burn for the unworthy.
