Not entirely soley

I'm sorry my family didn't save like

120k

But it's the main one

for medical emergencies

Low IQ and poor impulse control.

^

My fucking bad that we couldn't afford sustained medical costs because of our shitty health care system

I'm sorry your parents are bad with money

Point to me a single person who's good with money

And poor.

I mean

also do factor in

relatively low wages

in a lot of professions...

but anyways, I digress

I wonder why? Is it possibly because of Democrats pampering to the lower class just enough to get them to vote Dem but then worsen their situation so they can artificially slightly inflate it so they'll vote Dem again?

GEEE WIZ

The fact that poverty exists due to heritable wealth, poor systems in the case of emergencies, and so on isn't really relevant to this conversation

...?

What...?

The democrats would...

If anything

Lower their standards of living

At least, the voting populous - not the politicians in many instances

But they'd like to enhance social programs, not just "pamper slightly to keep them poor"

I don't really get how universal healthcare, a major talking point, is "pampering"

It's an ethical standpoint

Which only pamper and have only a short term effect

...?

Long term it's worse for the populus

Debt.

Are you saying that not going into several hundred thousands of dollars of debt

Is better...?

Oh, do you mean national debt?

I mean

*the military*

Most 'muricans think it's overbloated anyways

The military is not the largest portion of our spending

Hell, we spend as much on the military as we do on a lot of major social programs

It's still far too big
