im glad we agree
I really like the idea of negative income tax
As a form of welfare, I mean
Gibs
Not just in general for everyone
The bottom line: out of 171.3 million tax units this year, 77.5 million—or 45.3 percent—won't pay income tax. In contrast, our last estimate had 66.2 million of 163.8 million tax units not paying tax this year.
really great idea
How likely is that a poor person will get sick? How likely the poor person can pay for health services? Do you want poor people to just die off?
Because muh government wont help
people will die
What does that statistic have to do with negative income tax as a form of welfare
Us will never have a free healthcare system.
What should be done instead is a form to make the prices a bit better.
Or In cases of serious treatment, the government should either pay a part or pay the whole thing
You're just deflecting, so I'm assuming you know you're wrong, you're just trying to joke about it.
"some people don't pay taxes, therefore neg. income tax as a form of welfare is bad"
that is a dumb assumtion
i am in VC
and health care is not a right
no 45% of people dont pay income tax
that will litterally take from those that do and give to those that dont
Anyway, the main difference between leftwing and rightwing social policies: the right wants people to be able to live, the left wants them to live comfortably. Anarchists want nobody having a right to anything, grab your gun and hold your ground.
I said for you because Bane
I guess one thing that everyone can agree, US government should start to incentivate people to lose weight
If you think conservative policies mean the government doesn't help anybody, say hello to revolution.
Or to get better paying jobs instead of just asking for higher minimum wage
just asking for inflation
Let's see you work your ass off when you're in need of a heart transplant.
lol
I know right
i have insurance
The very notion of a sick person having to work extra hard to not die is absurd.
people having to work for what they have is absurd
Fuckin minimum wage of 15$? That's more than most blue collar workers make already.
only in the 21 century has it been other peoples responsibility
In that sense, victims of accidents don't deserve help if they could have prevented it?
they can plan
save money for external event
Tell me oh Rick and Morty fan, how can a child save money when the child needs surgery to not die?
good one
and like i said
