(4,341 posts)Who is asking for "gimme"? Because of "Medicare For All" and "Free Education"? Like many other countries in the World, that is part of what government is there for, to provide basic needs to its citizens, and THEY ARE NOT GIMMES, WE ALL PAY THROUGH TAXES.
Lets see, where do I rather have my taxes go to..hmm..."Medicare For All" and "Free Education"? or trump's golfing outings, politicians & their families free healthcare, politicians travels around the World, $768 billion in military budget, which they don't need?
So, it is OK for the military to extend their hands (gimme) and receive $768 billion in money they don't need of which $20 billion were added this year...
Ask Canadians, if you don't feel like traveling to Europe. They don't mind paying higher taxes because they get both, healthcare for free and free education.
If we had an educated country trump and assholes like republicans would never be elected, just take a look at the people in trump's rallies, like he called them "his uneducated", and they cheered. That is what "Free Education" gives us, it gets rid of ignorance, it helps people like the MAGATS understand and repudiate people like trump, it helps them make a better life for them, a more decent life, less ignorance gives us less racism, less misogyny, better people in general.
