Healthcare is such a basic human right. Single payer for all (Medicare) should be our priority. The wealthy look at everything as theirs. Anything that needs to be done in society is “why should I pay for that?” I have a friend who makes a lot of money and he said that people who work hard should be rewarded and I asked him if he meant people who work hard or if he meant people who earn a lot of money and he didn’t know what to say.
Why should the poor subsidize their income with our labor?
Edit for clarity: If the rich do not want to subsidize basic human rights then the poor should not subsidize the bank accounts of the wealthy.
I’m fucking poor bro. I’m not gonna ever be on team money.
I think we should be subsidizing people’s poor reading comprehension.
Why should the poor subsidize their income with our labor?
the poor … our = us
their = the richThis commenter was asking for someone to try and justify why we (the working class) should have our labor contribute to the income of people whose existence is based on exploiting others. A perfectly reasonable question.
I could have used clearer language. It was just a misunderstanding.
Homie came to bat for the working man straight up. I can’t fault that ever.
Because they didn’t choose to be born poor and probably work harder than you. Any other questions?
I don’t think my vibe came through. It’s a response to the friend you mentioned who doesn’t want to pay for healthcare.
“Why should we pay for their healthcare?”
Because it’s far more humane than the poor subsidizing the bank accounts of the mega rich with our labor and getting as little as possible in return.
Oh yeah, I definitely missed it. Thought you meant why are the poor getting things for “our labor”
I’m also not the one who mentioned the friend, but that’s unimportant
I’m also not totally sober. Love you all.
Me neither, have had a couple gins and tonic. Decided to try raspberry gin with lemon bitter tonic. Awesome
Not on topic, just wanted to tell you that was one of the nicest conservations I’ve red online. Good on you for being so understanding and cute.
And coming from a country with universal healthcare it should totally be a human right everywhere. I hope one day the working class in the USA will win!
Sadly about 40-50% of the population are MAGA, which believe they are all temporarily inconvenienced billionaires. Any day now that MAGA person is going to get lots of money (probably the lottery) and they dont want the pay all those taxes … so they sit in their trailer park with their MAGA hat and “Let’s Go Brandon” bumper sticker just waiting to go vote how the billionaires of “team money” tell them to.
The US treats its people worse than its prisoners. And I bet some idiots out there think it means they should start treating their prisoners worse.
Unfortunately that is not even close to true. I get what you mean but prisons are . . . not great. People regularly die of neglect in jails. Prisons are slightly better than that, but it costs 50x more.
Years ago, I have read that Mongolian street children in the capital, Ulan Bataar, would intentionally steal to get arrested so that they would have a warm place to stay during the cold nights in Mongolia.
America has now stooped this low.
I hear this has happened in Japan as well. Some elderly folks without family stage stickups for a good meal and a place to stay. What a fucking world we live in.
Jail is basically my retirement plan if all else fails (and it probably will)
