I will caution against linking unrelated stuff like this to Israel.

because I do feel like it leads some people into antisemitic thinking where they think it’s Israel’s fault we don’t have these things and not simply that Americans willfully voted against it numerous times.

Like basically every democrat president is a Zionist. Yet they still push for social safety nets, which Republicans oppose because they portray social safety nets as “communism” that only helps brown people, “illegals”, and folks who “deserve” to be poor
As ever, the problem with that pipeline is how badly Israel wants to be intertwined with both Jewish identity AND American exceptionalism (such as it is these days); supporting them means you’re not only a friend of the Jews, but you’re making a selfless sacrifice for the good old US of A by electing corporate shills who are more than happy to use someone else’s money for war and destruction. Don’t get me wrong - first and foremost, I resent this country above all others for driving the bus directly into a fucking wall, but I can’t sit here and pretend like Israel isn’t a fully active player here, they’re getting EXACTLY what they want with comments like what Graham said.
 
Great defeatist attitude here, Midnight…we’ve never tried it and the current system is designed to break, but sure, let’s say it wouldn’t work and just move right along with what we’ve got now (a system that has hardly ever worked as intended) :seriously:
the biggest would be healthcare providers and pharmaceutical companies. The gov would either have to nationalize both before it thinks about expanding its current national insurance model
I am talking about the Taxes part

Americans don't have the tolerance for taxes that Europeans have

I cannot wait til the proof of this dude's criminal activity comes out and he gets his. Ain't no way this man hasn't done shit to little boys.

Keep in mind that these people aren't actually subservient to the state of Israel

They're subservient to the group of rich assholes that run these religions in corrupt countries and like hiding behind labels like cowards. All they worship is power.

Nazi Germany was run by the same cults running Israel and the US now.

Keep in mind these are the same ghouls that told you "Make America Great Again" and "America First", when, if they were honest, their actual slogan should have been, "hey Epstein Class, how many people do you want us to kill for ya, to cover up the rape and murder ring?"

It's crazy we spend all this time talking about race and nationalism, when people like Graham committing treason against the nation view African American and Palestinian children with the same amount of hatred, and are happy to make money off of their rape and murder.

They don't give a crap about the race and nationality of a child deep down.

Because their cults only care about what they can get out of children. About milking them and using them like meat. All of the labels with race and religion just exist to give them excuses to dehumanize children and treat them like slaves.

That's why the MAGA types sucking up to the government are so insane. They're proud that their failed white kids are going to get slaughtered and villainized for the sake of of protecting the rape and murder rings of treasonous sellouts. Absolutely pathetic.

Sad to say many of those types never really cared about their kids in the first place and just viewed their children as property, because they procreated.

I think that's the best way I can describe why I hate the abrahamic religions and the political cults associated with them.

It's how they treat children like property, especially their own kids.

I think that's the big sin at the core of the Epstein Files: what Trump did to his own daughter, Ivanka.



Ghouls that can't keep their hands off their own children's hips, sending other people's kids to die in wars.

Big reason I despise capitalism too.

Ghouls treating children like property, then justifying the evil with empirical mathematics going, "No, you don't understand how much money we made from blowing these kids up"

Lock these freaks up

I’m perfectly fine with being taxed, I just want that money to go to shit like healthcare or social services, things that actually improve quality of life in my community…more and more, my government is stealing the money I worked to earn so they can line their own pockets or pay for a war I am completely against, there is no real representation for most of the country anymore.
 
Do you have a link for that? That sounds very interesting

This was due to Israel attempting to land troops through the territory it controls in Syria. Probably some of the fighting and missiles spilled over to territory Sharaa holds. Not that relevant imo.
 
Oh yeah that too

Ironically even if we taxed billionaires at 100% we wouldn’t be able to pay for a socialized insurance model. We would have to increase taxes on the middle class and have actual low class pay taxes(which most don’t currently)
The European Model, Taxes the Middle Class dry
You know that

Politicians are just gonna go after the Well off middle Class people with a bit of spare money, not actual 1%ers

Universal free healthcare is rarely free and universal in nature.

Drug costs, some surgeries, dental care are generally not covered.


Countries which have it have high tax rates...

Let's take USA example which doesn't have it.

US spends 17% of GDP on healthcare. I think it's the highest in the world.

As far as taxes are concerned, Let's assume USA population is 330 million.


Only 50 % of people file income tax returns, which means 160 million file income tax returns.

Out of this 160 million, only 50-60% actually pay income tax that is - only 90-100 million people out of 330 million population pay income tax.


And, out of these 90-100 million people actually paying income tax, top 5% (richest) pay 61 % of income tax.

Without taxes, universal healthcare isn't possible
 
The problem with this escalation that happened in Hormuz is no side can back down now.

If the USA backs down, Iran would know it can dominate the world's richest oil region. This is something neither Israel, USA or the Gulf states would accept.
If Iran backs down now, they'd give up one of their biggest (if not the biggest) advantages in this war. They're not backing down when they're surrounded.

If this goes on longer than the reserves of the world can fill the gap, that's when the crisis reaches its zenith.

Reminds me of how it's speculated that we are gonna have an energy crisis in the 2040s as oil and fossil runs out
