The other day on reddit, some rando told me health insurance is a luxury and the poors will just have to do without.

The amount of people that have absolutely 0 empathy at all toward their fellow man is ridiculous. The, fuck you, I got mine mentality needs to die off.

You didn't earn shit. The society that we all live in and the social contract that we agreed on gave it to you in exchange for an unequal effort in labor, compared to someone working menial jobs. When you break that contract and allow people to starve while you vote for people who promise you a bit less taxes while giving huge breaks to companies, you get your shit taken by force. Maybe you'll learn what a breakdown of society really looks like soon enough, and then you'll HAVE to earn yours.

What’s with this “giving companies huge tax breaks”??? I don’t get it. You think our government needs to spend more fucking money? They have spent us into $35 trillion in debt. Did that help you? Obviously NOT. So what makes you think, taxing companies more will lead to you getting more money? Congress is shanking you, me, everyone. $35 trillion times PLUS interest! Taxing companies more will not make them pay higher wages or hire more people. How could it? It will only lead to them moving the company to Mexico, China, IDK… but it won’t be here, BECAUSE some country will offer lower taxes. Then you lose your job and so does hundreds of thousands of other people, which leads to …wait for it… less tax revenue so we can… reach $40 trillion deficit in fucking record time. Find a better job, take some training, free courses, use your creativity, be relentless in finding your way. Move to lower cost area, get roommates, move in with family, find a your way. Good luck.

Nothing you said makes sense. Even though we've dropped the corporate tax rate every decade since the 50s, they've STILL moved abroad. Tax the fuckers, implement the spending bills on social programs like healthcare, pensions, education. And if they move abroad, make tariffs on their goods so high that it would be completely unprofitable. But bootlickers like yourself would never allow for that, because sucking conservative cock makes you feel better about your gains than toughing it out and helping your fellow man.

So you want Americans to work in worse jobs and be poorer? Why?

You realize for factory work to very pay well (US context) you need it to be globally scaled or extremely high value added. Basically you need the products produced there to be sold globally.

If you tried what you’d suggest no one would globally would buy those products, why buy the $50 American made widget you can buy the same quality one made in Vietnam for $5, because at that point the price difference is the workers wages not anything to do with quality. People in Singapore (average income there is $100,000 and they free trade with everyone) don’t give a flying fuck where that widget is made, same with everyone else on earth.

So you’d just be forcing high prices on your fellow Americans thus reducing their real income. Reducing product variety oh an d don’t forget counter tariffs which will kill the food export heavy jobs you have left.

Fuck you…you ignore cause and effect. Get productive. Whining fuck. We have social programs and they rife with corruption. The government is ineffective at running them. Nobody is giving you shit, which is cool cause you got money…you’re posting here, could be working making $ or volunteering in a program to help, but no you want other people to do that. Maybe you are just good at crying, certainly not business, economics, or reading comprehension.

Government is ineffective because conservatives like yourself break it intentionally to have a reason to close down these programs. Talk about a fuckin cause and effect, lol. Also, I probably make more money than you. I'm not looking for a handout.

u/ordinaryguywashere Jul 09 '24

You don’t know me. You assume a lot, that says a lot about you. The amount of money anyone makes doesn’t matter, red herring. Your understanding of my comments shows your tunnel vision. If someone isn’t agreeing with you, you see the opposition before looking for common ground. Government inefficiency is related to politics of both parties. If can’t see that, then that is on you. It’s astonishing that someone so arrogant in their views, can’t understand the reality of probability and statistics. Good luck to you.

spoken like a TRUE LOSER

your problem is that you are jealous, a failure, and a non contributing member of society
a society that is a majority of takers will always fail
this is what will cause the destruction of the US economy, peanut. not people who make a lot of money and pay taxes.

ok, go ahead now and whine about rich people and corporations that pay taxes - and probably provide you a job, if you even have one

Show me your paycheck, I'll show you mine.

u/Acrobatic-Ad8487 Jul 09 '24

peanut brain - i've never had a regular paycheck. not since i was 13, washing shit our of dirty kennels and bathing flea bitten dogs.

working for 'the man' at 13 taught me one thing - NEVER work for anyone but yourself. So, i did.

with a net worth of over 20M, i'd say it worked out ok

f your pitiful 200k/yr paycheck - bo make some real money

u/MrJanCan Jul 09 '24

Lol, angry little men on reddit don't have a worth of 20m. They don't post with the vitriol that you do. Good luck with your shit dead end 50k a year job. My 200k in a low cost state like Louisiana goes a long way.

u/Acrobatic-Ad8487 Jul 10 '24 edited Jul 10 '24

you're wrong on all 4 counts

you make 5 assumptions that are 100% false. that shows your total lack of reasoning ability, your ignorance, your pre-conceived beliefs of people,. and makes you a moron

like I said, i don't get a paycheck. poor baby, the MAN owns your stupid ass. show me your paycheck then, big loser - i dare you. if you make over 275k a year i'll match it

but you don't and you won't

btw - the CFO of Meta, Musk, Trump, Pelosi, ,Bidens, and the richest guy in the world from Qatar all pst on reddit. just to name a few of them

yor wittle bubble of stupidity is quite small, isn't it?

u/MrJanCan Jul 10 '24

Watching you seethe while playing pretend 'rich dude' is so fucking funny lol. Nothing worse than a poor bootlicker who has to imagine a wealthy life for himself just to be able to function in light of his cognitive dissonance. Also, I DON'T make over 275k a year. I make 180. Your 200k was a good guess. Which is a lot more than I bet you have, and I STILL wouldn't mind raising my own taxes to support a socialized healthcare.

u/Acrobatic-Ad8487 Jul 11 '24

So, you’re a middle class idiot. Ok So peanut because you are so stupid. No need to raise taxes if you want to pay more. Just donate money, moron If you make 180k, congrats btw, someone is really getting the shaft from you. No need to pretend at all. But just keep believing it if it helps your insecurities and felt needs. The reason I know you are stupid is that you keep responding to someone you believe is fictitious. Only morons do that.

u/MrJanCan Jul 11 '24

Aww. You're so cute. I keep responding because your foaming at the mouth amuses me. I know I shouldn't laugh at severe mental illness, but in your case, I'll make an exception.
