$15/hr minimum wage, UBI, free college, canceling college loan debt & Medicare For All: they’re not government handouts; they’re economic justice. It’s government’s job to provide the average person with a fair shot at making it in what has become an economically merciless world.

How is it equitable to those who are paying the taxes to fund these programs? It feels like a punishment for success.

All of the above is incorrect Welcome to the Real World ! If the classes they take don’t teach them how to secure an income, then they are wasting time on someone else’s dime.

NOTHING is free. They're ALL paid for by hard working, tax paying people. Livable wage, better jobs, education & preventative healthcare. UBI = welfare system, which has proven to prolong poverty, low self esteem, broken families, gov't dependency. Empower, NOT enable.

What if government just ended taxes and let people keep 100% of what they earn and they can decide how to best spend or invest it?

The system of Feudalism depends on the workers struggling, otherwise they won't fear being homeless and starving (the real reason for those who are) and might reject the system of wage slavery. We can do better, we just need to reject the current system and build a new one.

That is not a government's job.

MediCare for all is the worst idea of all time if it kills the current insurance system - take a look at how good VA is at taking care of their population & paying medical providers - spoiler: they aren't.

Yes!

i actually disagree on cancelling student debt. there has to be some personal accountability for the choices that people make. some have sacrificed to go to college, others decided to go to schools they couldnt afford or use money for academically unrelated things.

im for making student loans interest free but regulated, and regulating the cost of tuition. but cancelling student debt for people who made bad choices, that's no better than bailing out corporations for the samer thing. two wrongs don't make a right.
