Good article. He's right as well.
- And getting rid of regressive VAT for progressive income tax would probably be a vote winner, too.
Click-bait title
- The bait points to this:
  I believe part of the answer lies in a fundamental aspect of our humanity: the urge to destroy that from which you feel excluded.
  
  thanks for posting. I have learned to deal with clickbait like this: if the title presents a provocative question that could be answered in the title but instead requires clicking to get a simple answer, it's clickbait. they don't get my clicks.
  "ONE SIMPLE TRUTH ABOUT HUMANITY!"
  we don't like being excluded. okay cool gotcha.
- How is posting the title of the article clickbait?
  
  I didn't say the posting of the title was clickbait, I said the title was click-bait.
