I can’t understand why thinking Americans should have the same or better healthcare, or educational or economic opportunities that citizens in other advanced democracies have should be considered “too far left.” What’s the downside?

The downside is that you’re putting a gun to a citizen’s head and forcing them to subsidize someone else’s needs.

Oh you’re subsidizing plenty. You’re subsidizing health insurance companies, big Pharma, Big Oil, Big Ag, chemical companies, food companies, banks, the military industrial contractors and the very wealthiest Americans. And I mean that literally.

Speaking of guns-to-the-head: Plenty of these folks think they have skillfully bartered all this subsidizing of capitalists for a 2nd Amendment or something. Freedom of thought, or from thought?

Doesn’t make it right or ideal. How about we move away from being forced to subsidize anyone at the behest of the large government apparatus and keep as many of our hard earned money as we can?
