    If we're going to deal in facts then an important point is that in the U.S. the wealthiest 1% pay 45% of the income taxes. In fact, the top 50% of taxpayers paid 97.7% of the taxes while only the bottom half paid only 2.3%. The prescription has never been taxation for the purpose of redistribution alone. Policies that encourage innovation, create economic mobility, incentivize giving, create stable family situations, and lower barriers to marketplace entry create economic equality.

    Greek polytheism was never a cause of war, on the contrary, war happened many times due to the fanaticism of monotheistic religions. In Greek polytheism, the Gods have flaws, are subject to criticism, leave free will to man. Their existence or not is a matter of human faith.

    If you go to Italy and do not have time to visit Pompei, visit absolutely Ostia Antica. It is only 30 or 40 minutes away by train from Rome. I have visited both Pompei and Ostia and loved Ostia as much as I did Pompei. Ostia is literally the small version of Pompei. Pompei is far from Rome and you cannot do it in one day (back and forth) It is near Naples.

    Nicely done! One comment: I think you badly underestimate the benefit of the Roman Peace to the subsistence farmers. We don't hear from them today as they left behind no writings, but when order breaks down the powerless at the base of the societal pyramid suffer the most. (E.g., an army passing by during a civil leaves starvation in its wake -- assuming anyone survives unmolested to do the starving. A Senator might lose some of his villas. A peasant farmer lost everything.)

  • @markolson4660
    @markolson4660 Před 3 dny

    Good job, but I think you should have emphasized even more just how different the Roman (and Greek) concept of religion and divinity was from our own. Until one realizes that in this respect the past was a *very* different country, deifying the emperors can only generate an incredulous "How could *anyone* fall for that??"
