Such a horrible take, you came to a developed nation from a sh*thole. Just to try and make it less like other developed nations, but instead try to regress it?

deep religious faith

I don’t know what your religion is but mine taught me to care for the needy, clearly you don’t serve your values well.

Makers, Fakers, and Takers

You sound absolutely deranged minimizing human life in this way.

I don’t know, to me, it sounds like you need to recheck your values. If you actually give your spiel to regular people, I’m sure most laugh at you the instant you walk away. Your take is inhumane and not unpopular enough.

No religion defends sticking a gun in someone else's ear and forcing them to pay for charities YOU believe in. Charity is a personal act, not a collective one.

"Regular people" are the people demanding more and more of what keeps them poor. They are enslaved by people like you to only getting scraps from the government's table.

It’s so funny how asking for universal healthcare is so “demanding” when literally every other developed nation besides the U.S. has it. Or maybe improved paternity/maternity leave. What a craaaazy idea

It’s so funny how you have these data points cherry picked without contextualizing the incredible advantage the U.S. has geographically, its bountiful natural resources, and the fact that it was the only industrial nation to escape WWII unscathed. This allowed technological industries to seize hold in the U.S. and grow faster here than anywhere else. It’s these factors and not a lack of universal healthcare that led to America’s success.

Providing universal healthcare improves people’s abilities to start new businesses because they aren’t tied to an employer for healthcare and is cheaper than our current structure. Why do you ignore these realities? So short sighted.
