Republicans, answer me this: Why is America, the richest country on earth, only broke when regular people need something?
I’ve heard people say being left-wing is easier, because you can simply say free healthcare for everyone, free education for everyone etc.
Nope, what’s easier is not wanting to think of a solution, and simply pretending that every humane policy is childish because you don’t want to admit that the money already exists.
Right wingers think they are the only serious adults in the room because they ask,
“well who’s going to pay for it???”
No. Serious people ask that question constantly. The answer is tax billionaires, but we can’t do that because they fund the candidates that won’t tax them.
Republicans: you’re not serious, you’re selective. You ask the question when the money helps people, but you forget the question when the money helps power.
Overseas wars? Plenty of money. Billionaire tax breaks, corporate subsidies? Plenty of money. Some shiny item that Trump labels as patriotic? Plenty of money.
But food, healthcare, college, and childcare? Suddenly, America is broke and checking under the couch cushions.
We Left-wingers don’t avoid the hard questions; we ask the questions that Republicans keep dodging!
America doesn’t have a money problem - it has an allocation problem. And if your version of realism means there’s always enough money to protect billionaires and corporations, but not to enough to protect working class families, then you are not grounded in reality.
You are mistaking obedience for economics.
Prove me wrong
