What the fuck is with millennials wanting free gibs from the government? What happened to having a good healthy work ethic? What happened to taking pride in one's striving to better oneself?

That is ignorant, destructive slave mentality.

Productivity in the last decades has skyrocketed around the world, but salaries and purchasing power have stagnated, while the richest individuals on Earth accumulate more and more wealth in detriment to the environment and the wellbeing of fellow citizens and the health of our democracies.

It is retarded to believe that if you work hard you will get what you deserve. There are people with 2 and 3 jobs in the US, teachers that have to hold 2 jobs, meanwhile, trillions of dollars are poured into the military industrial complex, and the richest handful of individuals accumulate more wealth than tens of millions of americans.

Fair work for a fair pay sounds good to me, self improvement and competitiveness sounds good, the problem is THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED. Social mobility is at an all time low, paradoxically european social democratic nations have a ton more social mobility than the shithole called US!

Go to uni or get a skilled labor job, unskilled labor is for the immigrants.

All that died right around the time they started handing out participation awards to the losers of every event. It no longer mattered if anyone won anything through being the best, since even the losers were told their failure was the best they could do and that was good enough. Being raised that way and otherwise coddled throughout their entire childhood, they never learned the need to try harder, to improve, to compete. Now we're seeing so many of them finally coming out of college and that mindset is still all they know, and they cannot understand why the real world doesn't value them. They have no real sense of their own worth because they are essentially worthless but have been trained since childhood to be blind to that reality.
Now all they can do is lash out at a system that is founded on meritocracy and achievement, when they have neither. They screech that it's unfair and rigged and that the wealthy are evil because that is the only avenue left to those that were raised to have no extrinsic value because it was pumped into their soft malleable heads that all that mattered was their own intrinsic value. Now they are discovering that employers don't really care about their self professed value because it does not benefit the company. All they can do is cry and eventually preach that it is the system that must change to conform to them. Usually this manifests in the form of demanding government handouts.
They are truly the worst of generations so far. Worthless, parasitic, obnoxious, and sadly they are the best their parents could produce. They are losers that are only capable of seeing themselves as winners.

Fuck off lazy commie scum. I bet you've never had a real job in your life.

Good one. Have you ever had a thought of your own in your entire life? Or is it just easier on all your anxiety to believe all the horseshit society force-feeds you

Hey, I'm personally and professionally stable and happy. I work hard and get paid quite well for it. All that I have I have earned and I receive no handouts from the government. I realize that another person's wealth in no way diminishes my own regardless of how much more substantial theirs may be.

Delusional fucking loser

What a virgin

Honestly no.

It reminded me of my own foreskin, when I ate it all those years ago.

It was a crisp winter morning, and I had been hungry since the night before. Not a crumb of food in the house, I had already C O N S U M E D it all. I was near starvation. Then I remembered. Human is edible. I grabbed a kitchen knife, prepared for my next banquet. I opened the door to my bedroom, wife in sight. She never had the chance to utter a sound. Only the lovely flow of her crimson life juice hitting the floor as I carved into her. The bed will never forget, and neither will I, as I can still see the cut marks and splashes of her cranberry nectar. But alas, after 3 hours, she had been picked clean. Not even the marrow had escaped my attention. So I opened the door next to mine, waking up my two lovely children. They didn't last 30 seconds. They fought back, making their meat taste not as good, but who cares, I had been hungry too long. I carved into my 3 year old first, cutting him down instantly. I used his body to bludgeon my beautiful 12 year old baby girl, breaking bones. It only made her crunchy. Still, after finishing on them, I was still hungry. The only thing left was me, though. I turned upon myself, cutting off toes and fingers, after I left myself with 2 fingers in each hand, I had no choice. I couldn't suffer any more blood loss or I would die. So I had to get my last extremity. My magnum dong. I unsheathed all 9.4 inches, and turned for my blade. My foreskin, the only thing I could bear removing, would have to do. So in one fell slice, I unwrapped the head of my penis and ate the chewy coating. At last, I was no longer hungry. I had been sàted.

Many years later, when it was only me and a 6 month old puppy, after I had eaten it, it kicked me back into the delicious memory of that crisp, winter morning. So no, it does not taste like beef. It tastes like foreskin, chewy as hell and with a slight hint of sweat.

Theres no reason why people need to live like this with the technology we have, but people are also lazy pieces of shit that wont contribute. We need a form of socialism that monitors and demands tribute to society if were our going to give free hand out

Thanks Alex Jones. Got any pills or something to sell me to help me with this?

You can cry and moan about banks selling debt all you like, but the simple fact is that they cannot force anyone to buy said debt. I live almost entirely without debt and I do so while living in a moderate to large size city.
But go ahead and keep crying that it's the banks that are the problem and not the people with shit for brains getting themselves into financial sink holes that they can't climb out of. It isn't the fault of the banks that these people never learned critical thinking, financial planning or responsibility, or personal accountability.

I think I found your problem.

Yeah man... it's like the corporations and the government are bad man... and weed is good... and the man is keeping us down... and...

>implying no one else had anything to do with your success

What, do you live in a literal bubble? Who paid for the roads that allow you to get to work? Who paid for the military that allows you to do so in peace? Who pays for the courts that allow businesses to make and enforce contracts? (Remember, litigants only pay for their lawyers, not the judge/courtroom/etc).

In capitalism, one person uses the ladder, climbs up, and then takes the latter with them.

In socialism, one person uses the ladder, leaves it, and then the second person uses the ladder.

The situation in the comic is just hilarious dumbfuckery. ^_^

Oh yeah, it's all a biiiiig conspiracy that's keeping you from being a billionaire.

He's a dummy and a know-nothing. I have met many people like this over the years. I am ex-military and had a friend who talked and bragged just like this douche.

"I don't have healthcare but you don't see me whining! Success comes with hard work! Y'all are just lazy, entitled pussies! I don't need any handouts or government bullshit! That shit is for fags! Blah, blah, blah..."

One day, he was severely injured in an auto accident where he was at fault. Broken bones, internal bleeding, the whole nine yards. The emergency helicopter medical flight alone was over 20 thousand dollars. And that was before multiple operations, medications, rehab, etc. He was fucking financially bankrupt and destitute before he was even rolled into the hospital. He sings a different tune these days.

Genuine question here - is it your sincere belief that the President should be able to do whatever they want and congress/senate just falls in line?

Capitalism isn't the cause of this, it's due to a lot of factors. Mostly that corporate america has become the government and has no one to answer to. Capitalism is simply someone having the freedom to provide a product or service for their gain.

And I counter with some actual facts from a reputable organization:

Now that's barely enough to get a shitty place to rent, feed yourself and maybe have enough left over to buy luxuries,,, like clothes.


If you don't understand why the younger generation isn't really that hyped up about working when the reward is breaking even and being able to just about afford to buy enough food to not die, then you may just be a fucking moron.

I totally disagree with Alex Jones and think he's a wacko, but at least he realizes he's getting assraped, which is more than enough for the average american.

You, on the other hand, enjoy the hot and stinky neoliberal cum running down your throat and gobble it up with pleasure whenever you're on a break from your two underpaying shit jobs (which you're absolutely thankful about, because thinking you are being ripped off is for stupid commies).

>Who paid for the roads that allow you to get to work?
You mean the private companies contracted to make them?

>Who paid for the military that allows you to do so in peace?
Necessary. Granted.

>Who pays for the courts that allow businesses to make and enforce contracts? (Remember, litigants only pay for their lawyers, not the judge/courtroom/etc).
Private courts can be a thing. Just let them have a go at it.

You're delusional. The fed absolutely can and DOES force you to accept that debt. You are forced, at gunpoint, to pay federal income tax. This tax pays the interest on the debt you just bought from this private bank.
I'll give you one guess who passed the federal income tax bill. Just 2 years before the federal reserve act.
I'm sure it's all coincidence.

Neoliberalism, deregulation and the destruction of the welfare state and worker's rights is to blame for this, not capitalism as a concept.

But capitalism as a concept is an unfeasible utopia in the same way that communism is.

Communism proposes installing 'a party dictatorship' to manage the transition from a capitalist state into a communist utopia, where all are equal and happy. The only issue is that, when you give all the power to the elite that constitutes this 'workers party', the cause is lost because they will become corrupt and will never enable for the 'workers dictatorship'.

In the same way, capitalism believes in the 'invisible hand of the market' as the solution to all problems. What deregulation has proven in the last years is that, since money is power, large companies, when left unchecked, conduct predatory monopolistic or oligopolistic practices. So even an idea capitalist system with no regulation would fail, as those powerful institutions would have an advantage over everyone else and mark the rules everyone has to follow (such as what happens today, although this is far from a pure capitalist state, we live in a socialism for the rich and radical neoliberalism for the poor type of states).

>You mean the private companies contracted to make them?

Which are paid by the government... In most cases, anyway.

>Private courts can be a thing. Just let them have a go at it.

Then why hasn't this happened anywhere? Not even in essentially lawless markets like Mexican drug trafficking. Usually this is because both parties would have to agree on a mediator/judge. If they can't agree, disputes get settled with violence. Violence is of course bad for business, but still drug lords find it preferable to private arbitration, or else they would have set up their own private courts already.

Corporations and people can come together to pay for them on their own with no need of government.
>What are private toll roads?

*Cringe*
Why are you so fucking weird?

No - you're conflating communism with socialism.

Communism would say that the doctor and the janitor should earn the same as each contributes their own labor.

Socialism says the doctor should earn more but maybe we should make sure the janitor can live and not starve to death.

Really, do you actually believe socialism and communism are the same thing?

Did you post this unironically?

That they're far more economically viable and efficient? That government interference never makes things better?

All you are doing is bolstering my argument. You see, unlike the unemployed whining socialist cucks here, I work and pay taxes. My (and people like me) taxes are my contribution to what keeps the country moving and producing. My taxes fund things like roads and military etc etc. You're welcome. You see, I use those things guilt free because I actively contribute to this society, rather than take from it.

Capitalism as a concept is Joe Blow simply having the freedom to sell a product or provide a service. It's really that simple. To be against it you have to be against personal freedom.

The issue is money tends to snowball, and a tiny number of people are now driving the boat instead of most american citizens.

Could you please say "cow fart" for me? It would mean a lot to my unemployed socialist friend.

It means: deregulation and the destruction of the welfare state.

Most prosperous countries and periods of history: characterised by high wealth distribution (high taxes FOR THE WEALTHY), high wages, a strong economy, high social mobility.

Neoliberalism aims at destroying all that and substitute it for a 'trickle down' economic doctrine which is failing dramatically. But the numbers and facts don't matter, because the majority of the population is too brainwashed to go beyond the commie/capitalism discussion or to even care at all. Glad we're all heading into civilizatory collapse, but it is a shame that retarded fucks will never realise it was their fault all along. After all, we live under the most perfectioned form of propaganda ever created in human history.

"Collaboration is very useful in our line of work" The CEO of sunsight said in a statement. He also made sure that this merger would bias the judges, but that joint forces would lead to faster and more accurate results in the future.

Golden age of American capitalism was in the 60's and 70's, yes.

Detroit was one of the top cities in the World, and what is now known as the rust belt was admired by everyone as a massive success story.

Blue collar workers could buy a car, maintain a family (wife and children) with only one member earning a salary.

Americans have been ripped off since Thatcher and Reagan decided to destroy this model in favour of their corporate overlords. The US has become the laughing stock of the World ever since, but Americans don't even realise.

I guess I would care more about this if I engaged in criminal activities that might result in my incarceration in one of these facilities.

That ur weird?

Your private prison system has already fought teeth and nail against pot, advocated for longer and harsher sentences over petty crime and participated in other shady shit like selling work and products done in prison. You are NIMBY as fuck.

Ooo! This strays dangerously close to the Shirley Exception.

"Surely, as a law abiding citizen, I would never have to worry about being unjustly imprisoned, therefore it doesn't matter how corrupt the system gets."

Look, you can stuff your neoliberal propaganda up your stinky, fat and cancerous American anus.

If your shit neoliberal Chicago School policy worked at all, human civilization would not be heading into collapse.

You are manipulated into believing that an economic IDEOLOGY contradicted by FACTS and REALITY is actually an unquestionable dogma, that's how well this propaganda works.

Dude, WAKE UP, neoliberalism has been dominating the PLANET FOR DECADES. You are embarrassing yourself if you believe these economic policies have done anything besides harm to humanity, or if you believe that we believe in the best system possible, or if you believe civilisation is not heading to collapse.

Then the Germans came for me and there was nobody left to help me.

If people care that much for the legalization of pot or anything else then they will take action to elect those that will actively pursue that course. But people don't do that. Instead they elect politicians that have worked against those interests and they do so for the worst reasons (race, gender, single point stances such as abortion, etc). Take Kamala Harris for an example. Voted in repeatedly despite being a Clinton era 'tough on crime' politician, including hard-line anti drug policies. It was more important to vote her in since she was a black woman than support someone with a pro legalization platform.
It's not a matter of NIMBY, it's a matter of being a realist. I'm not going to feel bad for people that bring about their own downfall.

Go back to red dit or tumblr

we honestly need less people on this planet. which is why i don't really give a fuck bout wars, abortion, anti-vaccine people, and other stuff like that. once our population reaches 10 billion it's time to put a stop. the first people we should lessen are the indians.

oh yeah and people who have down syndrome and the bad autism. but not the autism that albert einstein had.

>If your shit neoliberal Chicago School policy worked at all, human civilization would not be heading into collapse.
How on earth is it heading into collapse?

>You are manipulated into believing that an economic IDEOLOGY contradicted by FACTS and REALITY is actually an unquestionable dogma, that's how well this propaganda works.
Data is now IDEOLOGY? Objective facts are propaganda?

>You are embarrassing yourself if you believe these economic policies have done anything besides harm to humanity, or if you believe that we believe in the best system possible, or if you believe civilisation is not heading to collapse.
See the pic attached. Or is poverty disappearing a bad thing for you? "Oh no! Less poor people means they're not going to fall for my leftist propaganda! I'll never be supreme leader now!"

Lol we're not Japanese.

I mean, dude, I know you are smarter and have better facts than thousands of scientific experts, so no need to argue with you because you hold the absolute truth conceded by abject and blissfull retardedness.

Hope you enjoy the ride until then, unless you're a motherfucking boomer, then I hope you die soon. Just do me a favor, when everthing unravels and you realise the warnings were true, please don't blame the commies as your fairytale scapegoat you always do and look into the mirror instead OK? Cheers,

>Not angry
>further confirming how humanity's extinction is absolutely well deserved.
Sounds mighty angry and bitter to me. Leftism does that to people, it's very sad. Filled with anger, jealousy, bitterness... Give up such negative views, become more positive! You could improve your life.

Didn't you get the memo? Millennials just want to eat hot pockets and fap to trap porn.

GTFO of this thread if you don't want to learn anything, go enjoy some traps or some BBC threads, faggot.

Do you know why?

Because POLITICIANS keep flooding our countries with IMMIGRANTS.

BOTH THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT, DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS WANT MORE IMMIGRANTS.

More immigrants mean...
>stagnating wages for majority of Americans

>artificially high housing and real estate prices (more people more demand for housing)

>An excuse to say "Vote for me next election! I can get you higher wages and lower taxes!" when they will do the opposite and just ship in more immigrants (legal and illegal)

This shit will cause a Civil War in a few years.

It's not a millennial problem, it's a liberal problem. they all think like bernie sanders and think everything should be free.

Ain't that the truth

Bad autism? The fuck? Autism is hindering children in their development, adults with autism function just fine. I'm fact, we need them for quite some professions

Keep sucking that Koch peon. Maybe they'll throw you some scraps.

Yes, we all know the cute little platitude. Really tugs on dem heart strings, don't it?
But we don't live in an Aesop's fable.

The left relies on emotional manipulation because that's all they have. Data and reality never work for them.

Kiss those boots, bitchboy

Sigh... That graph is so easily to debunk.

Extreme poverty has declined, yes. Oh, yeah, and the Chinese miracle has played a good role in this, wonder how capitalism has worked so well under authoritarian and unethical conditions!

Oh BTW, you know this graph refers to extreme poverty, you know how much people under the poverty line there still is? And how much money you spend per day to be considered poor? If you earn more than 2 dollars a day you're not considered poor anymore, surprise!

You can cherry pick all the graphs you want, there are acute systemic problems created and exacerbated by capitalism everywhere.

Capitalism has done some great things for humanity, it has brought prosperity to hundreds of millions, but it also has committed atrocious crimes, and continues committing atrocious crimes which are always overlooked. It is funny how you point out the millions that died under communism, but it seems like nobody has ever died or has even suffered due to capitalism am I right? We live in sweet sugary candy land, and whoever contradicts that is a retarded commie (I'm anticommunist btw).

Data is data, facts are facts. Neoliberalism and the Chicago School are a failure based on data and facts, if you don't believe so, you are a brainwashed cuck.

Not every one is blessed with good genetics. Some people can operate on 4 hours sleep and be fine, while some people need 12 hours just to not feel like shit. Just because one person is full of natural energy doesnt mean the person exactly as healthy has the same amount of energy.

We don't? Enlighten me? How does it work then?

The whole message was that if you only think of your own interests and never help the people around you, no one will help you when you are in trouble.

It might never happen to you, it will probably not. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't care.

Chicken Little harder faggot. For each of the "thousand of scientific experts" you prop up to cry DOOM at the world I can just as easily find another saying that doom prognostication is an agenda.
I've been listening to you end-of-the-world faggots for many years and so far the only prediction that is ever been true is that you'll predict another DOOM when the last one you predicted never happens. It's a tired sad song and people are waking up to it and realizing it's just another tool of the weak attempting to compete with the strong.

It's called stoicism, accepting reality even if it's harsh, and trying to live the best life possible in communion with that. I'd rather accept that inconvenient truth instead of living in blissful ignorance, but it seems the majority are too retarded or selfish to believe otherwise, which I accept, but that doesn't mean I can't laugh at it.

I live a happy life and I'm a positive person, I like to define myself as a realistic optimist. I'm not angry or bitter at all, just seen enough of the damage we do to each other and to the rest of living beings and planet itself to know that we are a tumor about to kill its host, and as such deservingly so.

So you admit capitalism is helping the poor, is continuing to help the poor; but it's still evil because of "acute systemic problems created and exacerbated by capitalism everywhere" which you fail to name. I'm hearing lots of talk and no facts.

Looking at just one of those figures, the comparative suicide rates, show they're at very least not true by current data. WHO data shows the US at significantly higher incidence rates per 100k than Denmark, and the Denmark figure is almost halved from that average. The reality is that the numbers for Denmark decreased consistently from the 80s until the mid 2010s, so pulling this 50 year average says intentionally little about the actual current state of things. It's almost like everyone uses manipulation to skew things in the direction they prefer. Huh.

Uh-huh... Sounds like you're bitter on the inside and refuse to admit it. You don't sound mentally/emotionally healthy at all.

I agree, there's just no other way about it. Less people means less corner cutting.

Statistical analysis can be easily bent into any truth.

Oh sweet child. I have a very harsh reality to break to you. You can spend a lifetime being there for others, but that doesn't mean your ass will be covered when you're in a sling. Take your own precautions and make sure your interests are covered. If you can help others beyond that, then kudos, it's a great feeling. But never NEVER include help from others as part of your own contingency plan.
No, we genuinely do not live a damn fable, and it's actually a little troubling that this is apparently news to you.

Immigration if managed well is positive for the economy, this is proven by data. This is not a black or white issue, in some countries controlled immigration is a success, while in other countries it can be harmful, it all depends on how you manage it.

It is true, on the other hand, that our capitalist overlords love importing slave labor to drive down national wages.

For me, in the ideal world, immigration is a matter of choice, not of necessity. Most immigrants would prefer living in their own countries, and most nationals prefer raising a family instead of depending of immigration in a demographic sense.

On the other hand, immigration is by far not the largest issue affecting our societies. The problem is the subjugation of our democracies to economic powers, the destruction of the real economy and the environment. Immigration is a consequence of this, not a cause.

>capitalism is helping the poor
Well, its helping these broke niggers

Take it from someone who does this for a living, anything can be bent into anything. A certain subset of people love to tout the "muh facts and reason" line, but thats because they want to pretend that one of the modes of persuasion is somehow less susceptible to dishonesty than the rest. In reality, any appeal should be subject to scrutiny, but especially those you most naturally agree with.

Exactly. I don't want "free things" I want my taxes to go to things that benefit me. Why the fuck am I paying a third of my paycheck so some billionaire can live on welfare?

Fuck that shit. Give me a real health care system and make those fuckers pay for their own goddamned yachts.

If believing that makes you happy, please do so, I actively encourage you. I am super bitter and live a sad life, do you feel better now?

you have no idea what even makes a dollar have value... in order to increase the power of the dollar we need higher market capitalization across the world. The way to fix this is to increase incentive of business by making it easier to start or more capital to invest into the business allowing them expand (aka HIRING MORE PEOPLE) literally just spend a few hours on economics

Present-day manipulated-market capitalism doesn't work in post-scarcity conditions because it's not possible to maintain the myth of "sustainable growth" when you can't rob worker's wages and savings via inflation.

ITP a poor fag projects his failure at life onto others all while blaming rich people for himself being essentially inconsequential to society. Stay mad kid, some of us have figured out how to function successfully irrespective of what the wealthy are doing or how they live.

Nigger, I'm rich. Keep sucking my gold dick.

Kek
Good for you sparky. I'm glad you're doing well.

Yes, capitalism has helped people, but it has also made many fall in disgrace. It has also now become obsolete, and either we find a better system (no communism, socialism, something new, we are so manipulated we can't even think of anything beyond the current system).

I dunno, where do you want me to start? I just feel it is a waste of time trying to convince someone who lives in this left/right neoliberalism is God's work bubble.

Anyway, here you go.

There are about 1 billion undernourished people on Earth while we throw away enough to feed the entire planet several times over. That doesn't sound like a perfect system does it? Have you heard of the Indian farmers killing themselves because of Monsanto's predatory practices?

How many people have died in capitalist driven wars? Only counting after the Cold War and on US behalf, we have: Afghanistan, Irak, Libya, Syria, apart from attacks on countries on which no war was declered (during Obam'as era, drone kill lists). Several million dead and tens of millions displaced, impoverished people maimed in the name of geopolitics and fossil fuels (including thousands of american soldiers).

How many TRILLIONS of dollars have been siphoned out from the American treasury to finance these wars, while their population enjoys a crumbling infraestructure, the worst and most expensive healthcare in the OECD, the richest country on earth with a higher infant mortality rate than Cuba (that definitely sounds like success!), a highly depressed, obese, opiod addicted country (more deaths last year from opiate causes than during the entirety of the Vietnam war, around 70k I believe). Constant mass shootings, parts of the country with conflict-zone level homicide rates, all because the NRA buys politicians at will, just as any other large company (GFC and bailout caused by financial companies subduing the govt, watch Inside Job for more info, etc.).

The fact that you know lyrics from Marty Robbins has me scratching my head in awe.

lol why?

RIP in pieces MCA

War on drugs: rich north sells weapons to global south, global south is dominated by mafias and bring drugs and cash to the north, which is then laundered by western banks.

Destruction of the environment and greenhouse gass emissions: very few companies account for most of the global emissions. Environmental destruction (i.e pollution of the common access to clean water) is counted as an externality, which means a company can pollute and destroy what belongs to the commons, and then the taxpayer's money will be used to fix this.

Growth of inequality, multinational corporations underpaying workers, imposing their interests to soveirgn parliaments through lobbies, ultra-rich hoarding money in fiscal paradises, not paying their fair share of taxes which would go to hospitals, schools, etc.

this fuck is the kind of people we socialists fight for. he's admitting to being complacent with a system that has fucked him over, he is the real sheeple, not us

If teachers are having to work two jobs then they are not managing their money well. A lot of the problem is people living outside of their means and purchasing things on credit. If you don’t want to make the rich richer then don’t buy things with credit.

hypnopedia.

these kids got the bleed in from all the campaigns (rap albums) to make niggers worth even less.

>this fuck is the kind of people we socialists fight for.
I love you leftists... You claim to be fighting for him and people like him, but you hold blue collar workers in utter contempt, mock them and their beliefs, and expect them to march with you when you just finished insulting every aspect of them.

yep. and this is why the Dems are going to lose the 2020. no idea whatsoever how to talk with the working class average Joe.

That was a mighty big swing in the dark

>Should have had proper insurance.
Holy fuck, this so much. Working in medicine it amazes the number of people with name brand clothes, expensive phones but no insurance, or really shitty insurance. Now that ACA passed, everyone can get reasonable insurance for catastrophic medical needs. If you’re in your 20-30s you don’t need coverage for every office visit, learn to put 10-15% away every month to cover incidentals but get coverage for major medical events.

"work hard, keep barely half" is modern socialism tho, and I don't agree to it. how about "work hard, keep everything, invest in what you feel is worthy"

Ain't it just fucking amazing? The socialists hue and cry round the clock that they don't get paid enough by muh eebil corp-rations, and their "solution" is to have the government take MORE of their earned wages to distribute at their discretion. The very same government, as they assert, that is currently allowing billionaires to live for free on... Government handouts!
It is basically impossible to take seriously anything a socialist says because they are clearly incapable of thinking through even their own arguments.

Self righteous pussies who want everything for nothing because "MUH NON CONFORMITY".

Also in a healthcare field, and are you fucking high, user? Someone making the average salary for their area putting 10% every month aside can still get fucking obliterated by any number of medical needs. As someone who works for a manufacturer, it's easy to see how it happens, too. We have a 90% or so margin on every product we sell to doctors, who then slap a massive markup of their own on because collective bargaining doesnt exist to stop either of us and the end user can't really say no.

10-15% was only for routine care. They mentioned getting reasonable catastrophic coverage. Which probably still isn't going to be sufficient (most personal bankruptcies in the US are related to fallout from medical events, after all), but you're probably not going to be any worse off than someone with "real" insurance... you'll just have paid more.

I was expecting this to be about how awful it is he's spent his entire life slaving away and all he has to show for it is needing an extra job to get by and less days off than a fucking industrial age slave.
But nope, really puts the cuck in americuck, imagine feeling proud about lowering your standards of living from previous generations this much just so some faggot politician can get away with importing more third world labor to replace you.

How long until you're all living in sweat shops working to compete with the chink across from you, telling yourself "god bless the USA" as you cry yourself to sleep at night for 3 hours before you need to get back to work for those hearty billionaires who totally "pulled themselves up by their bootstraps", thinking one day you'll do what every single hardworking American does, achieve the American dream and be rich too.

You're going to be lucky to be living like a lower middle class or even working class person from any civilized country in a few years, that's what this mentality will bring you.

Dude, why the fuck don't you go to the VA? Even if you make copays it's way cheaper than insurance anyway.
