I am seriously tired of being seen as nothing more than a bag of blood for society to suck on and then come and insult me by emplying I haven't contributed enough.
Dammit I don't mind paying a fair amount of tax to make society work, but when they also choose to insult me because I haven't contributed enough and then waste what I have contributed.
We contribute more in tax on a raw-numbers level because we've historically benefited more on a raw-numbers level too.
We pay the same health insurance rates as everyone else. If you consider that an insult and a waste, I'm not sure how to constructively discuss this with you.
When you say "we've historically benefitted", what do you mean? Surely you can't be referring to me, because I wasn't around "historically".
> We pay the same health insurance rates as everyone else.
Did you miss everything I said? If it's a flat rate, it's not insurance. It's a mandatory subsidy pool.
And yes, it is an insult and a waste; certain groups are systematically forced to give up the results of their labor for the benefit of other groups. Besides obviously subverting useful market-based societal optimization mechanisms, it's also very similar to certain social institutions we sought to eliminate a while back...
