When I was younger, I used to say, “if you make a man a fire, he’ll be warm for a night, but if you set a man on fire, he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.”

Ah, so we can’t have anything socialist because it’s such a slippery slope to being full on commies.

Same.

That sounds so much better to me than the shit we have here. I always get so frustrated to hear people argue against it when the US is like the last fully developed country that doesn’t have some form of single payer healthcare. Like, look around. There are plenty of examples of it working, but half the country just doesn’t seem to get it.

I think of taxes the same way. I just meant that not everyone would agree on what what parts of society the government is responsible to fund. My primary thought was healthcare in the US because it feels like half the country is against that.

The problem is getting those under that government to agree on what good uses are.
