@averagejoe1 saidYOU wouldn’t be covering anyone YOU would just be paying your taxes like YOU do now. Do you lay awake at night worrying about whose policeman you’ve payed for or who’s share of the highway you’ve financed. Perhaps you sit for hours fretting about non taxpayers bowel movements travelling through the taxpayer built sewer system.
I certainly do. Don' get me wrong, I know what is going on. I have often said that the liberals (progressives) will win this war. You will prevail, there will indeed be healthcare free to illegals and to everyone else. Even me. That will happen. But you again change the discussion. I am asking for logic from you and it is not forthcoming. If I have big-time assets ( ...[text shortened]... o I posted? A little humor helps, and that one was funny. I think the guy had it coming. Do you?
All you need to know is that collectively you will pay a lot less of your incomes on a universal healthcare system than you do now as individual buyers.

@kevcvs57 saidMaybe,Kev. But have you ever heard 'you get what you pay for? My best friend is getting care you would not believe right now, at MD Anderson, with a genius doctor who has erased his lung cancer. I am glad the govt isn't choosing his treatment for him. He would be dead now. But you just don't get what I just wrote. Your program would totally revamp medical care in this country, dilute it, water it down. Make medical decisions. Which do you want, Kev? Be real. I myself am not going to let Dr Afghani even check my pulse. No conversation.

A highway and the policemen who protect us are all universal governmental responsibility. My taxes pay for the fire department. Should my taxes pay for you to go get an abortion, or maybe your sprained wrist? All my kids are boys. I will never have to pay for an abortion. But you think your taxes should pay for an abortion for my neighbor's daughter. Not quite fair, is it. His family gets a benefit from taxes that I will never get. Just aint right, is it.
But my neighbor and me,,,well, we both use a highway and bridges and police and fire department. Liberals are totally failing in logic and common sense. And they often try to replace it with emotion.
edit: You say I would paying my taxes just like I do right now. You are an idiot. Should you not be saying that my taxes would be USED in a different way than they are being used right now?

@averagejoe1 saidYou must lead a horribly boring life if you have time to obsess over nickels and dimes and which neighbor pays for government expenses.

@handyandy saidMeanwhile, you've been obsessing over Trump for four years, you and many many libs.

@handyandy saidMy life is not boring, if that is somehow relevant.....but the idea of my tax money going to pay the expenses of a neighbor is definitely not boring, far from it. Should he pay mine? Have you ever responded to my time-worn adage....some people work harder than others, make better choices than others? If someone does, or doesn't, at what point does that become some concern of mine? That the govt might knock on my door. Sorry, but I think it is good to get people thinking.

@earl-of-trumps saidDo libs feel it was 'normal' , for lack of a better word, to tear off after Mr. Trump before he was even nominated? Is that normal? To begin un-based impeachment proceedings against him on day one?
Meanwhile, you've been obsessing over Trump for four years, you and many many libs.
i love to think about all that he did with the hyenas nipping, on his ass, for all that time. You want a strong president? Best keep him in that seat.

@averagejoe1 saidAnd of course you assume you are the one with a right to the eggs and you are the one who decides what is the proper use for them. Doesn't matter what the goose thinks...
Just as long as the eggs are used properly+ for the right reasons, and not plundered by people who have no right to them for any reason. Imagine, if the goose lays Iphones, but someone kills the goose. That means no more IPhones, No Tictoc. Downer.

@earl-of-trumps saidFour years? You haven't been on here for four years.

Unless you're really somebody else.

@averagejoe1 saidAll I can say, is, Joe, it clearly is the new normal for democrats. hate??? you can cut it with a knife.

It all boils down to the dems being wannabe totalitarians. Look how they behave

@athousandyoung saidIs that a question? Are you asking if 'I am the one?..." I didn't say that, who said that? Was it Vivify, who is having bad day?
And of course you assume you are the one with a right to the eggs and you are the one who decides what is the proper use for them. Doesn't matter what the goose thinks...
I did look at the post which does not say whom would have a right to the eggs...I guess the farmer that owns the goose, which is silly and makes us lose sight of this really cool idiom. It means having a 'shortsighted distinction of a valuable resource'. Today, it might mean there is a goose (Steve Jobs?) that lays iPhones. Kill Jobs, no phones. As to 'proper use', a golden egg, the proper use by a lib would be to turn it into cash and the libs would grab all that they could, and give it to people who do not work. Proper use of iPhone would be by entrepreneurs to make deals, which results in prosperity for the deal maker, who then creates jobs. Certainly you get my drift?
@handyandy saidno no no....you are supposed to respond to my post to Kev. (11 clicks up) ....to the substance of it.
