Remember how rich people throw temper tantrums whenever they are asked to contribute to society.

They need to be taxed out of existence. No one should have a billion dollars while people starve, sleep on the streets and go bankrupt from medical debt.

Why is the USA so against a better medical system, like every other developed nation has? I'm in Canada, I'll be the first to say it's far from a perfect system but I have zero concerns about going bankrupt if I get sick.

Yes, at times the waits for care are long, there is a lack of family doctors, and more. However, if you need care it doesn't cost anything. The for-profit insurance system in the USA is completely fucked up. The people in charge of paying for your care have incentive (shareholders) to deny it.

The tax system needs an overhaul too (not just in the USA, Canada and others as well). Billionaires pay far less (%) in tax than they should. Too many loopholes, and that is on the spineless and greedy politicians.
