It's called "patriotism."
ChaoticSquid
This is actual patriotism, not kicking in the doors to government buildings
XAVIEKittenSmuggler
Same for me. I have a degree, nice job, just bought a house, some school debt I can pay off, and I still want all those things.
XAVIEKittenSmuggler
I don't need it, but I have a lot of friends who aren't as fortunate as I am whom I would love to see have their burdens lightened.
dwilson0725
This is selfish, because they just want their society to improve which benefits them... And everyone else. More people should think that way
CrumbyCake
Two year old tweet, how's the promises keeping up?
BatmanAndCradleRobin
I want a fire department even if my house isnt on fire, healthcare even though I don't have a bullet wound etc etc
bluesun68
It's funny when people who refused to pay the local fire tax house burns down

I support schools because I don't want to live next to a bunch of idiots.

Are we happy right now? That line seemed threatening.

Ominous positivity. ‘You will be okay. You have no choice’.

Damn libtards trying to provide me with a better life where I’m not crushed by wage slavery and zero infrastructure
ChukclesNuts
Being happy for everyone is better than selfishness
jimmyhowlett
I despise the "I had to live through it so you should too" mentality.

revolution, now.

Oh I remember him, he deleted his social media when other people on the left asked him basic questions that he couldn’t answer and looked>>

Like a moron before getting less than 1% of the vote in the primary.

I like to imagine there are some downvotebots and some people just clicked the wrong button.
QueefSupreme
I wish... It really sucks that there are people actively working against their own best interests to, "own the libs".
KuphJr
If you want to make other people’s lives better, do it yourself. Government is a pretty inefficient way to accomplish anything useful.
KuphJr
However government is good at restrictions which can impede individuals from doing good thru commerce & charity. Gov is a necessary evil
HonestCommentFarmer
More selfishly, I don't want to interact with poor, unhealthy, and stupid people.

Republicans do not want this for the American people.
ChrisThrasher
This is called "Tough shit. Do something about it. Lol" in America. And yes, I thoroughly hate it.
londonosierra2000
That's what makes a nation
lcranston1930
It's also called simply understanding the problems and what we need to do to fix them.
HandymanJake
What a radical! Off with his head!
valinnut
This is not selfless! Creating a better society to live in increased quality of life also for yourself. More security, etc.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
It's called enlightened self-interest.
Ghlargh
It can be both, or one or the other. One does not exclude the other.
Alenelvans
And for the love of all that is good, can we PLEASE get some universal healthcare?
TrickYMickY
We already have it. Oooh, wait, you must be American.
Alenelvans
Yes, as is the person in the OP
Sayagain
Honestly I don't see how we can get UH without it taking decades. Slowly lowering Medicare age by a few years every year till it covers all.
somewhatparanoidpanda
We have ‘some’ universal healthcare we need universal healthcare for all

No.
HelgenBorderPatrol
Man I just want to live in a world where I can think "Yo I feel sick, let me go to the doctor" and not be down half a paycheck after.
TheS4ndm4n
Only if the doctor finds nothing wrong with you. If you need treatment, you lose your house and pension.

Politicians - no

No. That's socialism. Fox News tells me to think that's bad. /s

All you need to do is convince a majority of Americans to stop voting in genocidal fuckheads. Easy peasy.
BenYourFriend
That’s so much easier said than done with the death cult of the GQP and the money being passed around for favors.
or0b0ur0s
You don't even have to be a Progressive or a Socialist, or even feel this out of plain human empathy. Good old-fashioned, cold-hearted >
or0b0ur0s
self-interest dictates that the better the lives of the people around you, the better yours is, if you live in an interconnected society - >
or0b0ur0s
You know, like we've done for the last 10,000 years or so, give or take?
USABuck
Great idea. Who's going to pay for it?
FDBMed
Ya see here bucky, we take people like Betsy DeVos and TAX her till her eyes bleed and she sells 9/10 of her $40mil a-piece yachts to live..
USABuck
that's a drop in the bucket Slubby.
SergeyPrkl
Everyone with a fair share. WTF what kind of question is this?
USABuck
oh, sure. that'll happen. keep smokin' what ya got.
Vankaris
how come you people that always ask "who's going to pay for it" never think about the billions wasted by the gov? Money is there.
galvertez
*trillions
USABuck
So I'm a "you people"? you don't know me at all to label me. put your head back in a hole.
JCBalance
You literally asked the question he quoted. Yes, you're a "you people" in that context.
BreakThis
Considering that the rich have been evading taxes for... always. You and the rest of us here will pay it, I guess.
USABuck
correct! I'm in the 28% bracket. I pay 10's of thousands/year and paid my own way through college - 2 degrees. I'm not complaining. facts!
BreakThis
Don't question people here, almost everyone has a teenage mentality or thinks that money is created spontaneously and without consequences.
FDBMed
Here's some light reading for you bucky. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth_inequality_in_the_United_States
USABuck
thanks Slubby. I don't have time to leisure read. I've got to go to work so everyone else doesn't have to. My 10 mins of free time is RN.
JCBalance
People like you are killing this country.
NationalDeluxe
I make over six figures and have no student loan debt and here's the thing, I want the same for each and every one of you. Now. Let's get it
Elgirav87
Filthy communist ;)
JCBalance
Ok give me your job
SergeyPrkl
Are you middleclass or rich? in EU making 6 figures is considered rich and they are actually paying less taxes than people who makes 5 figs
NationalDeluxe
Uh, in the US I think I'm like "middle" to maybe "upper middle"? I also live in a major city where things are a bit pricier.
SergeyPrkl
Majority of EU middle class makes between 20-50k/y. Your income is bad comparsion because US total living costs are 5x higher than EU.
SergeyPrkl
OFC you can choose in US if you want to pay inurances, healthcare or education or not. In EU you mostly can't. The systems are so diferent.
SergeyPrkl
It isd hard to americans to understand that single thing doesn't make the diference,. your society needs to be changed from 1800 era to Now.

According to Fox News, that means you own a fridge and microwave, so you got that going for you!

Everyone hates gov't spending. The smart thing to do would be to have a functioning gov't. I don't like rat feces in my meat....
JakalSwitch
... What?
VaultGirl69
Read Animal Farm. That was pre FDA. Among other things. Min wage not keeping up with inflation. Terrible schools. Etc.
CrimeBrulee
Have you ever considered just stop being poor?
TokyoKazama
It's a mindset. You gotta want it

Sorry, I'm using all my will power to stop being gay, so I can make Jesus happy.
friendfrombali
When one being an 'essential worker', one will try to stop. But they cant 'just stop' right? Its injudicious. Best thing, is to do a side ~
friendfrombali
job or stuff that has the potential to develop. When its income have surpass the main job income, one will leave the essential worker sta~
friendfrombali
tus. But before that happen, it is wise to STAY POOR. Or you could JUST QUIT, start some bussiness, fail and be in debt. Again and again.
CrimeBrulee
It's a joke :)
friendfrombali
Yes sir, but i still want to give a good response sir..
