It's pretty sad (and other negative words) when people think communism
is a good thing. They just don't know. My family and I worked hard and
put up with a lot of shit to escape communism and come to America, and
now people want to make it socialist or communist. There are plenty of other places in the world you could go for that. Don't enshitify The States.
Most of us just want our tax dollars used for the common good, like
healthcare and wellness not tied to for-profit corporations, education
and infrastructure. and a retirement fund paid in for the people and
managed responsibly. Oh, and the rule of law. And a fair tax code.
So you want healthcare and wellness tied to the GOVERNMENT, instead. An organization well known for it's efficiency and wise money management.
As for education and infrastructure, I pay a lot of taxes for both of
those, even though I no longer have kids in the school system, and there
is a LOT of infrastructure work going on where I live.
I'll concede that the retirement fund has been badly mis-managed, and in
a generation or two there will likely be nothing left of it. But yet
you say you want that same organization to manage healthcare... Does
that actually seem wise to you?
The left generally LOUDLY complains when "the rule of law" is actually enforced the way the laws are written. Look no further than the border
issue for evidence of that, or how the lefties cry about ICE (a
government law enforcement agency) doing what they are tasked to do. Do
you see the hypocrisy in all of that?
I'll also concede that the tax code needs major revisions. Personally I
think the "flat tax" idea is the answer.
Not sure how that became communist.
Well, as I've just been saying, you seem to want the government to
control every single important aspect of your life. Does that not sound
like communism a little to you?
... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
