Or just allow more immigrants into the economy. Then our GDP would grow.
Alternatively, actually tax the top 10% at the 37% tax rate for everything earned above $600k, and let the working class try to enjoy a little life, with healthcare coverage.
Bonuses paid in stock should be taxed by the cash value of the stock at time of the bonus of shares gained or 37% of the shares gained go to the government to be sold 1/12 at a time over the next year.
Holy fuckballs. We really gotta get this solution implemented somehow that's fascinatingly brilliant
Keep thinking and posting the thoughts. Its doing you, and us all, some good 👍
We’re constantly more productive and never see a reduction in work hours, only more work. You bring this up to one of these fucks or their simps and they say “sure, but when will the work get done?” as if that comment makes even the slightest amount of sense.
The very first thing we all need to do is stop working so hard. The rich don’t have any real skills and they have no power without the people they exploit.
Fucking ghoul. Thanks Oprah for making him famous.
Name one person uplifted by Oprah that's not a fucking ghoul.
Dr Oz, "Dr" Phil, John of God, each more evil than the last.
At least Dr Oz is legitimately a good heart surgeon. If that's all he ever did he'd have been a net positive on the world. As it is, he's caused far more harm to more people than he ever helped.
There is a Behind the Bastards on this very topic.
Oprah is part of the club that you are not in.
Sell yourself to indentured servitude at 18 and work until you're found dead by the janitor. Your corporate masters need a new Ferrari!
Like they'd use the money to pay back the debt lol.
Fuckin funniest part of the whole thing.
who gives a shit about your stupid debt. if you have debt ask your billionaire friends to spot you.
It's so hard to understand why so many people don't want to have kids
No worries! The Republican solution is forced marriage and outlaw birth control.
You’re likely being hyperbolic but the new tax code proposal by Vought and Heritage is to that end. To financially incentivize marriage over single living especially in the presence of children. Leaving a bad marriage would be financially difficult at best.
If we emptied the account of every rich asshole like this we would achieve the same thing AND lose a whole class of dickbags that think they should be in charge.
The top 25 US billionaires could pay off US debt. Not even every billionaire. They total about 3 trillion net worth.
That's ignoring say the $60 billion or so Apple has in cash and who knows what other companies have
"As of January 2026, the total U.S. national debt has exceeded $38.5 trillion. This figure represents the total money borrowed by the federal government to cover annual deficits, which is growing rapidly, with a rise of over $2 trillion in 2025 alone."
I definitely want to tax the hell out of the rich, but we are in a deep hole. A long term systemic change will serve us better (or in addition to) talking all of their money now.
| Aggregate | Estimate(s) Worldwide |
|---|---|
| M0 (physical currency) | $8.27 trillion |
| M1 (cash + demand deposits, etc.) | $50 trillion |
| M2 (broader money-incl. savings etc.) | $123 trillion |

Also, I find this tidbit interesting:
According to the US Federal Reserve data, there is $2.3 trillion in circulation and $3.5 trillion in reserve balance.
As of the end of 2024, around 55.4 billion US notes of all denominations were in circulation.
and
As of July 2025, the M1 money supply is $18.4 trillion.
In other words, if these statistics are correct, since trump took office, in approximately one year's time, the total amount of USD in circulation has increased by over 40×. In case anyone's not aware, that's not a good thing.
That's probably why he keeps saying "the economy is doing great." He looks at all those dollars and thinks "we're all rich!" not understanding or not caring that it means the actual value of the USD possessed by most ordinary people is actually being watered down by that increase, while the amount of USD they own is not increasing proportionally to the total amount of USD. (Or he doesn't care at all and is outright lying, which wouldn't be out of character. As long as his and his buddies' bank accounts are going up due to bribes, extortion, and embezzlement, the economy is working fine for him...)
And that's just physical bank notes! In about half of a year, under trump's watch, the total amount of USD in cash and checking accounts has more than doubled.
Anyway, my point is, if you include savings accounts, mutual funds, and other M2 assets, the total amount of USD worldwide increases to $123 trillion as of January, 2026.
The US debt, at $38.5 trillion, is nearly a quarter of the total amount of M2 USD assets worldwide. Assuming the relationship is linear, printing that much USD would lower the relative value of each dollar to nearly 75¢ in today's USD. That's nearly 25% inflation overnight.
Sovereign wealth fund, universal healthcare, and free education!
Garbage people produce garbage ideas.
Why not pay off the debt by reducing military spending by 90% for the next thirty years. We would still be in the top three countries for military spending.
This shitty idea is a thousand times better than anything Oz could come up with.
Also, you know, making the rich people pay even the same taxes WE pay, let alone the 50-90% marginal rates from decades ago, when the country was strong.
This is going to be so great for the Rich People's Pedo Island Money.
Space X/X AI/Twitter (soon to include Tesla in a giant Xterfuck) will soar to all new market caps.
Or we could make it illegal to be a billionaire.
Or we could stop lying about what the national debt is and tax the wealthy to destroy their absurd power.
https://mmt101.substack.com/p/mmt-basics-national-debt-defined
Adding $3 trillion in GDP would not remove the debt anyway. Assholes like this one don't even understand how GDP is calculated nor what it means.
So when do you start doing actual work, Oz?

“Please stay in the corporate meat grinder so we can have enough money to fuck kids then bomb them”
Two of the three points he made are total horseshit, but let's not throw out that last one:
If we could get the average American to ~~start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later --not retire -- or~~ work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy.
Universal Health Care fucking now.
If we WANT to Fix the Debt we need to ~~Tax like 5 REALLY Rich People!~~ Get RID of Retirement!
A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
