It’s all taxpayer funded

Government is literally the worst people to run anything. If poor people got the credit and got to choose who they spent it on, it would be totally different.

It is exactly how it works.

This is also how it works: The government claims ownership over your income and decides how much it keeps for itself - and how much it doles out to you, as if you were a child on an allowance.

It can also be likened to a protection racket: You pay government for "services" that government tells you you "need". Which services, and how much you pay, is dictated by the government.

And if you refuse to pay, something bad happens to you.

Well you DO need healthcare, education, etc, so...

If and when I need it, I should pay for it myself, not mooch on somebody else.

And continue to make people choose between bankruptcy and death.

And continue to make people choose between *insurance and taking a chance.

FTFY.

You keep telling yourself that, pumpkin. Come join the adults when you're older.

Or make it taxpayer funded so that you never have to worry about it.

OK, I guess I have to tell you the hard truth:

Your needs - perceived or real - do not constitute a right to other people's property.

We - you and I - have never met, and chances are we never will. We owe each other nothing. I have no claim on you, and you have no claim on me.

Your duty is to yourself, your family and friends, and your local community. Not to a random stranger on the other side of the world.

I have no right to deny you the fruit of your labor, no matter what needs or wishes I may claim to have. No matter my hard luck stories. They do not take precedence over your property rights. And that goes the other way, too!

If you can afford insurance.

You can, if you don't have to spend all your money on government "solutions".

Yes, that's how it works.

If everyone got exactly what they paid for, there would be no need to do it through taxes. People would/could just pay directly. So not only is that how it works, that's how it's meant to work.
I'm in a low tax bracket, so I pay nothing in income taxes. (I even get money back in the form of credits, but I digress). When I (or my kids) use any public service such as the library or public schools, someone pays for it without receiving something in return. I get "something for nothing" they get "nothing for something" thier tax dollars. Thay says nothing about whether or not this arrangement is desirable for society as a whole. We can argue about that until we are blue in the face, but that IS how it works.

I'm for free internet.

Lucky you

Whether or not we are better as a society is debatable, and is subjective rather than objective. Most of us won't even agree what makes better society. I do agree some of it is necessary.
In theory, I like the idea of universal healthcare, but I've been on government healthcare (medi-cal) and it was a shit show. It was so horribly mismanaged I might as well have had no healthcare at all. I have zero faith that our circus of a government could manage it. There would be even more waste and delays than there already is. Many people think it would be simply walking into a hospital and getting treatment, but it would be more like trying to work your way through an automated phone menu, where none of the options are what you need and no option for a live operator.

This isn't exactly like building a Hoover Dam and then it'll keep farting out the goods.
Fact it, even that requires funding to keep it going.

No. Even a gift to you isn't 'free' because someone, namely the gift giver, paid for it.

If you're going to rephrase what I said, you can at least try to IMPROVE upon it.
This is a meme site, not a Reader's Digest one line forum.

Those toilet cleaning products messing with you?

Try to make sense.

Clearly you do not live in a full socialist country. Socialism conditions people to be lazy and government dependant. 66% have lots of common sense, you are the 34% that lacks common sense. I can see how you are triggered because this meme exposes your kind. Wise up.

That's not Socialism.

Ah, you are confused. I already knew that.

I know you are, but what am I?

Someone who likes to sit on a couch all day smoking pot, unemployed, while having others pay for your life style. Someone who depends that momma government changes your diapers once in a while. Someone who is confused about what socialism is. Am I right?

Not in the slightest.

Glad to hear. I assume you do not like that type of living style, am I right?
