We Have Plenty Of Money To Drop Bombs On People And Incarcerating People
But when it comes to the health and well being of the poor and middle class in our country. We get a big FU from our government. To me this speaks volumes as to their character and their feelings towards us. They don't give one rats' ass about us. We're just a fucking resource to be used and squeezed until we die. We mean less to them than their tooling and machinery because at least they're quick to repair those things when they need repairing.

Face it, we're all wage and tax slaves to a group of people no better than other aristocracies in history. When it doesn't pay to vote because all you get is corporate representation either way the vote goes then you are not free. Maybe a hamster on their tread wheel. But not free.

4. Exactly!
There's no reason why we can't have health care services the same way we have police and other emergency services. Wall Street greed and how they and DC think about us is the only reason why we're seeing what we're seeing.

Peace midnight,
Xicano

6. There is a perfectly GOOD reason we don't have single payer.
It wouldn't get enough votes to pass and would die.

You've got to change a hell of a lot of entrenched things in America to get something like that passed and that's a bigger job than any of us are up for.
