Five Economic Reforms Millennials Should Be Fighting For | Politics News | Rolling Stone
In Rolling Stone this former Occupy wackobird gets full coverage with his tripe. Warner Todd Hudson sums it up best in Breitbart:
"Recently Rolling Stone magazine published a story that urges the millennial generation to demand communism in America by eliminating private property, "guaranteeing" everyone a job and turning banks into state property. After finding some opposition on Twitter, the writer let loose some ideas that didn't make the cut of his article: "exterminate" the rich and take away their money and property.After reading the article published on January 3, one thing we learn from former Occupy Wall Street organizer Jesse A. Myerson is that he thinks things are bad in America today. America is so bad--or, as he so eruditely puts it, America "blows"--that he thinks it is time to institute some of the worst communist tropes in the anti-capitalist's bag of tricks, all the same boring ideas that have been proven disastrous everywhere they've been tried for over 100 years."
'Rolling Stone' Writer Wants Communism, Redistributed Wealth
All I can do is shake my head at these people....What is the matter with people today?
I do think the job guarantee is something that needs to happen, along with universal healthcare.
I also find it intellectually dishonest to just label something "communism" and hope to get a visceral reaction opposing it. How about you attack the man's proposals on the merits?
It is the future, and it will be incredible. We just have to shake off the old, dying, conservative disasters of the last 40 years and move forward. This will be a repeat of the New Deal and Keynesian successes.

And the saddest thing of all? They actually believe that tripe.
Oh for sure....Just read post #2 of this thread....laughable.
And who pays for all of this?

Not likely....At least I sure hope not...You want something? Go work for it.
Why the wealthy ofcourse....Didn't you know those greedy bastards have all the money?
I'd rather live off the back of hard working patriots.

Sadly, the zero sum fallacy has been sold and bought by too many. In addition, the wealthy and successful have all been stereotyped at evil greedy Wall Street types. I don't see this mindset changing anytime soon and sooner or later, we'll start doing stupid things like the French and the exodus will begin.
When I was his age, I would have said that his ideas suck, but to use his term, "it blows."
Overall, the first one might be possible, but what if the job isn't fun or stimulating enough for little Johnny?

It has already been tried and it resulted in a decreased work ethic.
