I know this is just part of your being funny (or trying to) schtick, but nothing is ''free'' in Socialism. You have to work, because it's the whole population working that provides the means to share the fruits of that labor equitably for each individual person in a Socialist society. Sanders is just a Shill not a Socialist, with fancy cars and multiple homes, well paid for his welfarism policies.

Some people just deserved to be insulted. Sanders is one such person...


No one cares about your little displays of anger.

Back to the topic:

Public healthcare is not only affordable, but would also significantly improve things like life expectancy and mortality amenable to medical treatment.

Clearly you do, as you keep talking about them...

LOL!

Again, I was unaware that use of the word "fuck" ruffled your feathers.

It's funny, though...

How do we pay for it?

Most people I meet or know, as well as myself, believe what he believes or wants are fuckin' lunatic, so he is never going to be elected. Besides, we are concerned with his health -- as far as I know he has a cardiac problem.

Fucking bullshit from a numb nuts hyper liberal. And, no, I am not angry. I am just run of the mill repulsive.

Pants-of-dog wrote:If you go around swearing and insulting people, then yes, you are angry.


No man. that just means that he loves and respects all of his fellow posters. The proof is in his massive POFO card collection :lol:

Furthermore, now that I have learned "socialism" for giant corporations via tax laws that they write for themselves os OK but anything that offers help to the bottom 10% is not OK ….. I intend to discontinue my Social Security and Medicare immediately. No way will I be a "Socialist" :?:

Who is paying him?

It is a bit sick to denounce someone rallying for a just cause simply because the person in concern gets rich from it.

I'm sure he has a lot of sponsors, but he's lived off the American taxpayer his entire life, has always been in the government.

:eh: :roll:

It isn't a ''Just Cause'' because encouraging welfarism isn't just, and he's lived off the American taxpayer as I said.

The same way you already pay for the public funds you have already invested: through taxes and other forms of government revenue.

Patrickov wrote:Biden had been vice-president himself. If he doesn't understand the mechanism then I will say he is simply not up to the job.


While I agree my point is even Biden with limited cognitive ability knows universal health care can not deliver on it's promises and therefore is political suicide. It's seems the supporters want to "shame" people into agreeing to something that will destroy our economy and health care as we know it (and that is just one of his policies). That is all they have.

This is incorrect.

Universal public health care is cheaper than what you have now. And not only do all other developed countries do it, so do many developing countries.

Are you saying that the USA cannot do what Cuba does?

Unverifiable ad hominem.

So we should be taxed more?

I can oppose a policy that I see not fit, but that doesn't mean the advocate of said policy does not deserve the money.

Of course, if the person in concern only advocates policies or stances with the intention to harm us then it is a different story.

If the person's whole job is to divert people into becoming useless parasitic drones while becoming rich for said lifelong advocacy, I'd say that that person is a pretty rotten human being. You may think otherwise but it's what the issue truly boils down to.

It is a rather strong criticism which takes quite some evidence to prove.

For example, was the said welfare advocated without any kind of qualification mechanism suggested?

Edit: I rather see some welfare as a necessity to avoid some people going violent on being disenfranchised. Having a few parasites might be better than having a bunch of aggressive viruses, but of course it depends on how we handle it.

No.

I will repeat myself.

You will pay LESS.

This is because you guys already pay MORE than countries that have universal public health care.

Let me know if you need this mentioned a fourth time.

The evidence is there for anyone to examine in good faith, I stopped doing anyone's homework a long time ago.

Everything comes at a price, especially welfarism.

I don't take such a utilitarian and dehumanizing approach to other human beings, sorry.

True. What I don't agree is to arbitrarily place criticism that "someone is blatantly ignoring this".

May I assert that I am not the one who stated "turning people into parasite" in the first place.

So we'll see a tax cut and all Americans will get health coverage?

If you folks were capable of electing Sanders and standing up to the insurance companies who have bribed your politicians, then yes, you would get better health care at a lower cost.

So, probably not.

Your insurance payment would get cut.

If you're an employer, your payments for insurance for them would go away.
