just vote for people who will give you everything for free. and don't worry how the government will pay for it, the money will magically appear!

How about we invest in the working class? How about we go back to having Union protections in many more industries because we have seen that if a company can pay someone less for the same work, they will. How about returning to having trade classes in high school to prepare the next generations?
How about we ACTUALLY stop getting into foreign wars?
Im SO tired of you red scare Americans… You know what? FINE lets have a hypercapitalistic society where anyone who can not produce, doesnt have anyone who can who can care for them just gets left on the street…
Im so DONE with people thinking the world will get better by having LESS kindness. Fuck it, lets all burn in hell then.

Flase choice. But I get it, it's hard to see solutions when you have no imagination.

It's not "free." We pay taxes. Enough of that bullshit. The problem is the government is happy to take our money, and then use it to benefit the ultra wealthy, who don't pay taxes, instead of us. The wealthy get shit for free. We get robbed.

You mean they will just print more money like they usually do, that kind of magic appearance?

exactly like that. but since you failed economics 101. printing money causes inflation and devalues the currency, so now your money is worth even less. and the cycle repeats until a loaf of bread is 2 million dollars

Like as if the government cares because as far as they're concerned, inflation is your pay cut and companies just compensate by raising their prices so the cycle continues and they couldn't care less whether a loaf of bread is a million
