Austan Goolsbee. That's "my guy" when it comes to taxes, trade and monetary policies. IF I were going to "make a play" in this discussion. Which I'm not about to do.
I like his credentials and the "cut of his jib."

RESENTMENT is a part of the creed of Leftist / Marxist belief.
That resentment blinds them to economic realities.
They believe, shortsightedly, that gouging corporations for more and more taxes makes things more "fair" when the reality is that corporations simply pass those tax increases along to all of us.
Leftists always make lousy economists because their presumptions about are always colored by the same specious presumptions of Karl Marx.

To really understand Marxism you have to understand Karl Marx himself.
He was a penniless BUM that spent his entire life mooching off his rich friend Friedrich Engels who was bankrolled by his rich, capitalist, industrialist father.
Marx also fled 3 different countries under threat of imprisonment for his acts against the governments of those countries.
He was unemployed almost all of his life and had his wife help support the family.
He died in 1883, broke, bitter and still complaining and resentful about "the rich".
It is worth keeping in mind that Marx-Engels "Das Kapital" was released 100 YEARS after the United States became a country based on ideological principles exactly opposite those of Marx.
A lot of very bad political ideas have originated in Germany that have caused misery and death worldwide to the present day on a scale far beyond anything in history before those very bad ideas were conceived..[This message has been edited by randye (edited 11-17-2020).]

Intelligent people speak because they have something to say, fools speak because they have to say something.
Consider that before telling anyone what's on your mind.

So just to clarify your concern is citizens (at least I hope thats all who got the checks last time) may not get more covid hand out money sent to them from the government?
That too much of it is instead going to keep employers afloat?
The speaker says he is "puzzled" by that, that it is "odd". He goes on to try and inspire jealousy. I'm not sure what he doesnt "understand".
Did you watch my 1st vid in this thread?
Here it is again
