Politicians wasting tax payers money to live a luxury lifestyle is also unacceptable. And you shouldn't be any more ok with private sector elites living luxury lifestyles while leaving millions struggling to afford to live.
Nobody likes a sarcastic smartass and trickle down theory has proven several times. Bootlicking a rich elite isn't gonna make you any wealthier any more than living in Los Angeles is gonna make you have a chance of getting into Hollywood like the rest of the celebrities.
In fact, you actually have a lot more in common with a homeless person on the street begging passersby for spare change a lot more than you think. Because you both rely on the generosity of other people. The homeless person relies on the generosity of passersby to give him some change, in fact lots of homeless people are actually looking for jobs and since the government can't force business owners to give them jobs as passersby can't be forced by the government to give their spare change. The difference between you and a homeless person is that you were a 100x more lucky to find a person so generous to not only give you a job but willing to pay you a high amount despite there not being any government enforced laws forcing them to much like how a homeless beggar is extremely lucky to find a person generous enough to give them a $20 bill. You getting a good paying job from a person who has the decency to treat you with the respect a human being deserves is purely a fluke in a world full of sociopathic people who refuse to treat others with basic human respect with only government enforced basic law and order to prevent them from treating you even worse. You do have the merit and work ethic that you were rewarded for but even getting rewarded for your merit and work ethic is pure luck on your part for this a world full of people who refuse to have the basic decency to reward your work ethic or even give you a chance. And when you dare to beg for some basic respect as a working man, society deems you a "lazy entitled socialist/communist" who just wants something for nothing and even wants communist tyranny inflicted on people even though you don't adhere to any sort of ideology as dogmatic as Marxism and you wanting basic respect as a human being and a man who is willing to work has nothing to do with any sort of political ideology. If it weren't for your pure stroke of luck of being at the right place and time within the vicinity of an overwhelming generous person, you would be on the street with ever other homeless person. I do hear a lot of people complain about getting a free pizza party from their employer instead of a raise but I really think they shouldn't complain so much for a free pizza lunch is actually a rather generous thing for an employer to do and they are also lucky to have a job at all given how so many people would rather have them be unpaid, homeless and die in the gutter and rather not hire them at all and have robots do their job instead
Not all universal healthcare systems are the same. Every healthcare system around the world works in different ways. Many healthcare systems have both private insurance companies and government funding and also private and government healthcare providers. Switzerland is a prime example and has lots of private health insurance companies and healthcare providers. I honestly would not point to Canada as an exemplary healthcare system for it's actually the 2nd poorest in the world next to the USA. Many Canadians have been European countries such as Spain and have a much better experience than in the Canadian system. I also wouldn't count Britain's system either for that one is to monopolized by the government and doesn't allow a lot of private providers and insurers.
Really? That's the rarest example of a person having actual basic respect for the working man i ever heard. If these people are as real as you say they are then the modern day Republican party would've non-stop called them communist socialist scum because that's what everyone who believes in basic respect for the working man believes. But you can't say that these employers of yours would have preferred to have you do it for completely free without any pay like you're their slave, the only reason why they paid you in the first place is not because they wanted you to but because basic government enforced worker protection laws are in place to make sure your employer always pays you as promised. That's why unlike some people, I'm not inclined to complain about getting a free pizza party instead of a raise at one's job for a pizza party seems like a very generous thing for an employer to do given how they would try to get away with not paying their workers if they could. I know this from personal experience, lots of people I did thankless work for did to me basically the equivalent of walking into a pizza restaurant, ordering a large 3 topping pizza and demanding to have the pizza for free and try to not pay at all.
