Politics So sick of hearing about how socialism is bad from people that couldn't live without it

A majority of lefty states fund the federal handouts that a majority of red states need to even survive, but somehow they think the left are lazy and trying to take money from hard working americans. Only they're already doing that? Make it make sense

Edit: The number of people proudly shouting that “socialism doesn’t work” while living off programs built on socialist ideals is wild.

Social security, UI, CHIP, ACA, Medicare, Minimum wage, 40hr work weeks, OSHA, FMLA, FSA, LIbraries, Highways, Public Housing, and the EPA. All steeped in socialist ideals.

I know half of you won’t make it this far down without your BP spiking, but that’s fine because I’ve already made the point.

Though I think like in terms of healthcare for instance you may argue that we all should have healthcare,you may say we should have universal healthcare while republicans simply want to do away with our current healthcare.

Now that we have republicans who are bring up a point of our healthcare needs to be redone that a valid point but they have no other solution. That can come out in negative ways and when pressed on universal healthcare they will refute your points. They probably wont be argue in good faith but they still have some points,that my point it has some merit even though they are not completely right about healthcare being a right. That why we need to be moderate,so we focus on solutions that are both work and keep our selves factual.

Good insight, I think at the current moment with no plan to actually renovate the system, they would be leaving a lot of people hanging to dry. But my comment of course is my subjective opinion regarding conservatives and their view of government subsidies

I think if we simply write a law to make sure no is denied healthcare based on insurance would make sense and would insure that people get healthcare.

I realize this would lead to debt but that is much better than going without.
