And that being the solution.

i'd just like to point out that not all trannys are scam artists. there are many honest hardworking americans among them.

From what I've seen it's only a small minority of passable trans that do not do sex work.

The less attractive the body the more likely they hold a 9-5 and dress as a man during the day.

it would be awesome if everyone in the greatest country known to man (we invented everquest, after all) got dank 100% free health care, regardless of employment (it's hard to work well when u siqer than FCk)

but instead we gonna pour that dosh into the rich fat daddy pockits and keep being cucked online by russian chinese while we are Puppet String'd into being an international bully with pockets deeper than a Debt Hole to keep the third worlders in line cranking out Gear, Coke (quadruple entendre intended), and Hos

*backs away from the shitpost)

I want more healthcare competition, including a state run insurance option like Germany has

yes it means i will have to pay for things. abloo hoo the care provided sucks terribly.

And how does it do that? The things about Obamacare that caused increases in premiums (forcing a bunch of sick old obese people into the pool of insured and capping their rate, foremost) remain unchanged in the proposed legislation, unless your state opts out. And it sounds like you're in a blue state that won't opt out.

Basically the fact that insurance companies are forced by the government to offer insurance to diabetics and heart attack survivors rather than letting them die, is a large part of what is raping your premiums. AHCA does nothing about this for someone in a blue state. And by the way this isn't going to change until you start controlling the highly inflated cost of healthcare services by cutting out insurance middlemen and reforming pharmaceutical law. Or until you start letting people die again like before obamacare.

I hate to use the word honest so much, but let's be honest. Me and Ahldagor are the only ones paying taxes here

Lune will when he's 35 maybe

[skarlorn]

[AzzarTheGod]

I've paid taxes on my no-show as has originalman there's a whole gang of tax payers on this forum

[mickmoranis]

I hate to say this becuse "should" is a fucking stupid thing to say about politics anymore, since weve proven we "wont" do "anything" that we "should" do let alone "dont" do right now.

But we should print what percentages of your taxes go to what broad programs on your paycheck, instead of just state and federal percentages only.

Social Security:24% $X.XX
Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and marketplace subsidies:25% $X.XX
Defense and international security assistance:16% $X.XX
Safety net programs:10% $X.XX
Benefits for federal retirees and vets: 8% $X.XX
Transportation and infrastructure: 2% $X.XX
Education: 3% $X.XX
Science and Medical Research: 2% $X.XX
Non-secruity international: 1% $X.XX
Other: 3% $X.XX
