How embarrassing!
Over 70% of all US registered voters want universal healthcare... Ds, Rs, and Independents
Over NINETY PERCENT of Democrats want universal healthcare.
But our reps just can't manage it! It's too difficult.
Meanwhile, bOtH pArTiEs can somehow manage to squeeze enough money out of the budget to support Israel...
Which has universal healthcare.
The US government is not a democracy or even a republic at this point. It can't be any more obvious.
The important thing is that Intuit's right to enforce a complex expensive tax code is weighed fairly against all rational citizens who would prefer to simply receive their refund check automatically.
Imagine how Intuit would feel in a true democracy.
Nothing will get better til the owners are dead
It's true but there's a reason they spend so much on their military.
How would the military stop that?
Not for Palestinians.
And there's your hang-up. The US is perfectly fine sending billions of dollars to a select group of socio-economic elites to subsidize their campaign of territory expansion. They have no interest in extending social services or public amenities to the subjects of that colonial expansion.
That goes for the US interior as much as the foreign satraps.
And that’s why I will continue to vote for harm reduction.
Socialist?
