I mean like if you translated Project 25 so the opposite or reverse of every single policy prescription it makes is compiled, could that be the playbook for a much better and equitable future society?

Sorta like a Project 21st Century™️

EDIT: I'm not necessarily saying if they say "=18% corporate taxes" == "-18%" or "+36%", I just mean they want to lower the taxes to reach that so why not consider raising it in the opposite direction so you're moving away from anti-utopia

Rhetorically: What's the antithesis of an 18% (base) corporate tax rate?

Project 2025 is fucking awful, but just doing the opposite of them doesn't make sense when the working conditions of regular people can only be improved through a materialist view of the world, as the opposite of their goals isn't what our goals are.

Rhetorically: What’s the antithesis of an 18% (base) corporate tax rate?

An 82% (base) corporate tax rate?

  1. Can you prove that's the antithesis, and not -18%?

  2. Would 82% be the best for regular people? If not, who would it be best for?
