Universal health care isn't something you get as a reward. It's a human right.

Free education isn't something you get as a reward. It's a human right.

If half this country was as enraged over the poor getting thrown off food stamps or being made homeless as they were for veterans being put in the same situation, things would be a lot better.

It's infuriating that people like me are deemed as "worthy" of these basic rights while millions are told to suck it up and work for those same things.
