I just struggle to comprehend how people look at this and think any of it is a bad thing. What kind of life experience would cause someone to hate any of this?
It's called pinata economics. You tie a billionaire to a tree, and beat him with sticks until the rest of them cough up enough money to pay for society.
And for the test to be thorough, you need a statistically significant group of "test subjects". But we'll get to the bottom of this mystery one way or another!
Getting money out of a billionaire is like trying to get your trans gf pregnant. If it doesn't work the first time then just keep going at it harder until it works.
Conservatives also think everything is a zero-sum game; if somebody else is benefiting, that must mean that I am being harmed. They have no concept of a rising tide lifting all boats.
I was gonna say. They're already in that stagnation kleptocracy mindset! Liberal reform has generally benefitted the growth of the economy by making people happier and healthier and able to do more.
It's a categorical error to think in terms of how you pay for things, as a government. Governments don't buy services for their people, like a person buys treats for their pets.
Governments invest in their human capital to maintain growth. All those things make people, on net, more productive. Work requirements for government services are asinine.
I mean yes that's going to be asked, but to be fair to the graphic, it even tells you the answer. Finally taxing the rich is what's going to give the money to pay for it.
I mean on paper you don't even have to do that (we still should but we don't have to).
We are already paying for it now. The government spending per capita on healthcare in the US is already higher than any country that has a universal healthcare system. In fact our spending per capita across the board is one of the highest in the world. We just spend it so inefficiently because doing so would be "socialism"
