You do realize that your health insurance company takes your premiums & pays other people's health bills, right?This isn't hard to grasp. Your yearly tax contribution is a tiny faction of the overall budget of infrastructure that's already underfunded. In addition, a good portion of your revenue doesn't go to government services you benefit from. That means someone else is paying for your shit. A single payer healthcare system works the SAME way. We're just adding another program to the budget. And yeah, to pay for it, everyone's taxes across the board would go up, but that wouid replace private insurance premiums. It could also be paid for by cutting our ridiculous defense budget that you repubs love so much.lol hold on, so you are unaware of the many examples of infrastructure? It goes well beyond triads. Also, even if it were all paid for with gas taxes, you are still - you know - paying taxes.It's not a false parallel as to the point I was trying to make. Conservatives don't want to pay for other people's healthcare, but they are already beneficiaries of other people's tax revenue. The socialist aspect of single payer wouid be no different than the broad government programs we already have such as infrastructure.
What I said about children being the most on food stamps was inaccurate. What i meant to say is that most people on food stamps are dependents.
This article breaks it down:
Who Uses Food Stamps? Millions of Children - NBC News
45% of those on food stamps are children.
An additional 20% are those who are disabled and those over 60 years old.
And it's good to hear from you too Pumpkin!
This is so painfully dumb... My eyes bleed when I read it.
Why not just accept the fact that you made a really stupid analogy? Roads are mostly and sometimes more than paid by gas taxes. In fact, those who own cars will usually pay more than their share of taxes to all the usual regressive causes.
Even if this wasn't so I have no idea what you are getting at? Privatize the roads? I have no problem with that, but it's completely outside the topic which was HEALTH CARE, moron.
You keep getting more and more retarded every post. Your whole argument was that car owners do not pay for the roads and thus get a "free ride" with other people's money - that is false.
Only thing left is accepting that you were full of shit, and that no free shit of any kind should be provided for you, or any able-bodied American.
Please, take an IQ test, I bet the reading you would get is "not pass".
Of course my car tax contribution isn't supposed to pay for EVERYONE'S roads. It only pays for MY SHARE of the bill. Your single payer health care on the other hand, is supposed to take my premiums and pay the bill of others with it, especially profit hungry government employees.
You must have fluked math... at first grade.
Same with your auto & home insurance.
In single payer, the government acts as insurer.
I guess that makes you like foolish, doesn't it.
