CDZ Should these be a right for every American citizen?

Modern Russia and China are much more humane then USA.

If you are talking about life in the inner cities where progressives rule, then yes Russia and China are more humane, but as a country, tell me where the poor are taken much better care of than any other place on the planet.

In other words, more than half of Americans who are poor by U.S. government standards would be middle income when compared with the rest of the world. A fair share, however, would be either low income or poor, globally speaking.

Cancel Culture and intolerance of American Progressives is a continuation of long American Tradition of Inhumanity -- Genocide, Slavery, Mass Incarceration.

 

[Markle]

I am neither a Liberal nor Conservative.

USA has one of the worst human rights records in the World.

-- Genocide of Native Americans
-- Slavery
-- Murder of over 2.5 million civilians (combined) in Korea 1950-53 and Southeast Asia 1965-73

Should these be a right for every American citizen?

Absolutely not.

I believe in Human Rights for all humans.

That includes those who can not earn money.

In Canada, even people serving life for murder are treated humanely.

They should be in solitary confinement for life.

Corporate welfare is far different than welfare for the poor. One is used to benefit the wealthy and cons love it. The other is used to help the poor and cons hate it.

I know…I know it makes no sense how cons can believe this, but they do.

Agreed but we must include the one million Iraqis to the list, and who knows how many Afghanis, Libyans, Yemenis, and Syrians. Than what about the thousands of Iranians, Cubans, and Venezuelians killed by our government’s heinous sanctions?

You’ll find many Americans dumb cons particularly, won’t accept this truth about our murderous government. They’re still stuck on believing the bs told them in government grade schools and refuse to accept the truth.

Agree with this part. It's why they can barely win elections against insane lunatics and we get Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi and criminals like Biden in office.

In your viewpoint, what is corporate welfare and is it available only to giant corporations?

Why do you believe that it is a good thing to reward bad behavior?

How about just these rights which is the "Classical Liberal" rights.

Life - inside or outside a womb.

Liberty - Freedom to choose your own decisions without an overbearing government trying to lie, steal and cheat you.

Pursuit of Happiness - Goes with the Freedom, where each person as long as law abiding can go out and achieve their own happiness.

“Corporate welfare” entails allowing those who generated wealth to keep what they have rightfully earned.

“Welfare for the poor” consists of taking from one, what he has rightfully earned, and giving it to someone who did nothing to earn it.

The U.S. didn't kill "one million Iraqis" (not even close). More Iraqis were killed by UN sanctions than the U.S. invasion.

Should these be a right for every American citizen?

A right? I don't think you know what a "right" is. A right is individual. When it comes to healthcare, you're talking about something that affects at least two people.
The left have been trying to make healthcare a "right" for a few years now. Healthcare is a privilege. Like driving a vehicle on a publicly funded road.

People also have the right to eat right and exercise. They have a right to not drink or do drugs. They have a right to not take a job that is surrounded by dangerous chemicals that could get you sick.

Forcing tax payers to pay for doctors who they'll never seen, adversely affects those tax payers.

Rights aren't something that can be giving to one, by taking from another.

If the left would stop trying to make out like healthcare was a right, but moreso just a better way of doing something, they'd get a lot more support.

The benefits above are what the Swedish people enjoy.

And their economy is doing fine.

Okay maybe the number is inflated, but we’ll never know the real number. However it can’t be disputed the war criminal W caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis with his criminal invasion.

And those UN sanctions that killed untold numbers of Iraqis, was promoted by your beloved government. Remember Madeline Halfbright’s comment on it being worth it, the mass murdering of Iraqi children using sanctions???

No.

It's a shame we work into our golden years.....the country gets our best years and takes them away from us as we work work work. Not great to think about. But it's the way it is.
