Soooo
The Convoy…

Is that still a thing?
Any information on it?

 

[palmettomoon]

Yup and the halfwits will support it.

I think you're being way too generous in your assessment of their mental acuity.

You guys are starting to come across like the Oklahoma City Bomber that blew up the FBI building and murdered 168 people.

If you aren't holier than thou then why bring it up?
There are philosophical differences between the left and the right that go to the base of the way people think. Social programs are a way to attempt to equalize the outcomes for people (or minimize the disparity in outcomes). I have no interest in equalizing the outcomes (or minimizing any disparity) by force. You obviously do. Again, the antithesis of freedom. I believe citizens of this country should be insured equalized opportunity. Where people go from there, is up to them. Let them use that freedom and their efforts and decisions to lead them where they may. If you CHOOSE not to purchase health insurance, then that is a freedom you should be afforded. Why would you deny someone the benefit of enjoying the fruits and costs of their own decisions? That 'accountability' term gets thrown around a lot because it is what is sorely lacking today.
While I wish they didn't exist by mandate/force, many social programs that exist are insurance programs. If you've paid into social security your entire working life, I have zero problem with you getting (what will invariably amount to a fraction of what you should get back) some of that back. If you paid medicare insurance, you should be able to use it. Same with unemployment insurance. But if you are not paying into them, no, you should not be able benefit from the FORCED contribution of others. What possible justification is there that you should? Why is that concept so hard for leftists/statist to understand? Because again, fundamental philosophical differences in the way people think. Collectivists vs individualist. This country was not founded nor made the most successful on the planet by collectivists.
You've worked yourself up into a lather imagining things I haven't said or subscribe to. That's typical of those who make decisions based on emotion. Again, fundamental differences....
Yes, given the choice between all or nothing in the socialists programs you've laid out, I'll default to the Constitution.
