>Trump pays $30 million in taxes
>People who will never even contribute a single mill in taxes RREEEEE

2018-02-07 04:02:47 UTC

The outrage over Trump is just silly

2018-02-07 04:03:25 UTC

This whole conversation is just a troll fest. Dan started sperging out as soon as I tried to dig out of him what moral duty a government may have to its citizens.

2018-02-07 04:03:26 UTC

I think it's hilarious when he says something patently false and everyone around him is like "wait wtf did he just say"

2018-02-07 04:03:27 UTC

@nathan
It is

2018-02-07 04:03:39 UTC

I told you what moral duty

2018-02-07 04:03:40 UTC

imagine paying 30 million in one year and having people tell you it's not enough

2018-02-07 04:03:47 UTC

the eternal gibs

2018-02-07 04:03:52 UTC

to protect negative rights as perscribed by the constituion

2018-02-07 04:04:09 UTC

but you moral fagged out

2018-02-07 04:04:13 UTC

โ€œHurr hurr I cant hear you so that mean I winโ€

2018-02-07 04:04:13 UTC

Plus, US Healthcare system works for US, don't means it will work in other places

2018-02-07 04:04:35 UTC

It provides 75% of the worlds medical advances

2018-02-07 04:04:45 UTC

it must be doing something right...

2018-02-07 04:05:00 UTC

Yeah, making a fuck ton of people rich

2018-02-07 04:05:02 UTC

That's for sure

2018-02-07 04:05:10 UTC

Not saying it's something bad tho

2018-02-07 04:05:23 UTC

Health insurance โ‰  medical engineering

2018-02-07 04:05:36 UTC

They're almost completely unrelated

2018-02-07 04:06:14 UTC

That's like saying F1 drivers make incredible improvements in formula 1 cars

2018-02-07 04:06:22 UTC

The amount people make on investing money into RnD has nothing to do with medical advancment /s

2018-02-07 04:06:43 UTC

it has a lot to do with a freeish market system

2018-02-07 04:06:58 UTC

that protects intelectual property

2018-02-07 04:07:09 UTC

and does not set price controls

2018-02-07 04:07:10 UTC

how is Obamacare btw?

2018-02-07 04:07:19 UTC

It's gross

2018-02-07 04:07:21 UTC

I'm actually asking

2018-02-07 04:07:29 UTC

If they make a lot of money because they overprice every procedure, they sure will have more money to invest in research

2018-02-07 04:07:54 UTC

how are prices set?

2018-02-07 04:07:55 UTC

Obamacare is bad because the compromises made it bad for everyone involved

2018-02-07 04:08:11 UTC

It more or less forced you to buy healthcare whether you like it or not

2018-02-07 04:08:18 UTC

You either buy or get fined a shit ton

2018-02-07 04:08:34 UTC

same in Canada

2018-02-07 04:08:36 UTC

Idk tbh, but I imagine it's not a fair price

2018-02-07 04:08:38 UTC

Is it?

2018-02-07 04:08:40 UTC

And did it make the healthcare better?

2018-02-07 04:08:49 UTC

It's exactly the same

2018-02-07 04:08:51 UTC

didn't premiums shoot up?

2018-02-07 04:08:56 UTC

Imagine my shock

2018-02-07 04:08:59 UTC

There is no such thing as a price being fair

2018-02-07 04:09:13 UTC

only supply and demand

2018-02-07 04:09:27 UTC

Now....

2018-02-07 04:09:39 UTC

The goal is to heal the citizens or to have profit?

2018-02-07 04:09:45 UTC

BOTH

2018-02-07 04:09:51 UTC

^

2018-02-07 04:09:57 UTC

return on investment requires both

2018-02-07 04:10:02 UTC

But, what's more important?

2018-02-07 04:10:10 UTC

@Fulcrum010 are you.. a commie?

2018-02-07 04:10:18 UTC

@obrallaghan
Really?

2018-02-07 04:10:25 UTC

well?

2018-02-07 04:10:29 UTC

Based on what you say that?

2018-02-07 04:10:37 UTC

"The goal is to heal the citizens or to have profit?"

2018-02-07 04:10:48 UTC

do it for the greater good?

2018-02-07 04:10:52 UTC

Destroy a business by having it unable to operate or make money?

2018-02-07 04:10:56 UTC

<:think_cartoon:378717098618388491>

2018-02-07 04:10:57 UTC

Because when the subject is public Healthcare I put the health of the population over profit?

2018-02-07 04:11:13 UTC

because people are motivated by their own self interest

2018-02-07 04:11:15 UTC

Not saying it shouldn't have a profit

2018-02-07 04:11:30 UTC

a doctor doesn't bail on a 12 hour operation because $$ like it or not

2018-02-07 04:11:55 UTC

But, If it's possible to lower the profits to decrease the price and make it more accessible, why not?

2018-02-07 04:12:13 UTC

Isn't it in your own self interest that when you get sick, you want to be able to get better without suffering financially?

2018-02-07 04:12:19 UTC

I don't think anyone would argue that

2018-02-07 04:12:36 UTC

but if it's supply and demand, and everyone requires healthcare, then prices should never skyrocket

2018-02-07 04:13:04 UTC

not everyone requires certain types of healthcare

2018-02-07 04:13:05 UTC

2018-02-07 04:13:09 UTC

You just decide to not get sick.
You just decide to set some money aside from your paycheck-to-paycheck job to insure you.
And if you can't get enough money, you steal.
Such is the beauty of the free market of human lives. Law of the jungle. Survival of the richest.

2018-02-07 04:13:21 UTC

WHAT IFIFIFIFIF

2018-02-07 04:13:29 UTC

Okay, you just shut up you retard.

2018-02-07 04:13:33 UTC

based furry pizza man has spoked

2018-02-07 04:13:52 UTC

>say dan spergs
>actually spergs

2018-02-07 04:13:55 UTC

That's my point.

I don't think is wrong to have profit, I just think it'd a better option to lower the profit (decreasing prices of medications for example) to make it more accessible

2018-02-07 04:13:55 UTC

ye

2018-02-07 04:14:09 UTC

so lower RnD?

2018-02-07 04:14:21 UTC

Yeah, why not?

2018-02-07 04:14:29 UTC

Why is sanitation a government's responsibility?

2018-02-07 04:14:38 UTC

it is not

2018-02-07 04:14:41 UTC

alt righters finding statistics like

2018-02-07 04:14:43 UTC

Is it?

2018-02-07 04:14:52 UTC

there are private sanatation companies

2018-02-07 04:14:56 UTC

It isn't? So your neighbor can just let his trash accumulate if he wants to?

2018-02-07 04:14:59 UTC

i take my own trash to them

2018-02-07 04:15:10 UTC

and yes technically he could

2018-02-07 04:15:20 UTC

hoarders

2018-02-07 04:15:22 UTC

Private companies do it as a service for the municipality.

2018-02-07 04:15:22 UTC

The government is only required to clean government property, last I checked.

2018-02-07 04:15:34 UTC

could someone tell me what exactly we are arguing about

2018-02-07 04:15:42 UTC

WE WANT POOR PEOPLE TO DIE

2018-02-07 04:15:48 UTC

oh same

2018-02-07 04:15:50 UTC

MUH FEE FEES

2018-02-07 04:15:52 UTC

Not all of them

2018-02-07 04:16:01 UTC

they fill market gaps

2018-02-07 04:16:02 UTC

Just the brown ones

2018-02-07 04:16:06 UTC

@DanConway only the blacks right?

2018-02-07 04:16:08 UTC

You won't find a single government that lets trash, rats, bugs accumulate on his property where other people can suffer from it.

2018-02-07 04:16:11 UTC

@radeon
Free healthcare, or it was at the beginning

2018-02-07 04:16:26 UTC

there is no such thing as free healthcare lads

2018-02-07 04:16:31 UTC

pretty sure you can let the inside of your house go to shit if you don't have kids

2018-02-07 04:16:36 UTC

On federal property?

2018-02-07 04:16:39 UTC

@DanielKO yeah, WHERE OTHER PEOPLE suffer from it.

2018-02-07 04:16:41 UTC

What about the โ€œshitholesโ€
