Having compassion towards your neighbor is the key to a successful and happy nation. When you lose compassion and start viewing some people as "the other", that's when the gas chambers and ovens get fired up.
Everybody is for creating a better health care system. Some of us are just against the idea of doing that by putting everybody at the gunpoint.

How about this? We create a new organization called "Better Health Plan Than dRumpCare" and all of us VOLUNTARILY put our own money into the fund to pay for the care.

So what you are saying is -- go ahead everyone who votes Democrat and solve our problems because us right leaning folks are too selfish to care about others and want you to fix it and pay for it.

That makes you sound like all the terrible things folks say about conservatives, selfish, uncaring, self centered.....
What they "gave" to charities is nothing but a tax evasion tactics. Don't be so naive.

Some people aren't for creating a better healthcare system. I hear people all the time complaining and wanting to go back to the old system. You know, the system where babies were denied for having pre-existing conditions. And the system where insurance companies sold scam policies that pretty much covered nothing.

Because it is more sensible to pool the hyper wealthy conservative's money as there are fewer of them to find and more money to be had.

Why don't they just pool their money together and create a fund to pay for all their liberal ideas such as health care, refugees, illegal immigrants, equal pay etc. etc. etc.?

Wouldn't that solve more problems than all the bickering?

Because it's far cheaper for them to force the use of someone else's money. Cost is not a issue when you're spending other people's money.

Gates and Buffet have also helped save the lives of 122 million children.
Bill Gates Has Helped Save The Lives Of 122 Million Children

But people like Gates and Buffet can not save everyone with the limited amount of money they have. Gates and Buffet have less than $200 billion dollars combined, in comparison the US government receives over $3 trillion dollars in tax revenues a year, and people like Gates and Buffet simply don't have enough money to save everyone.


And you speak of healthcare for all Americans and equal pay for men and women as some evil, radical socialist agenda. Shouldn't any caring, honorable, and civilized American support healthcare for all and equal pay for men and women?
Havent you heard? It is crazy to ask for healthcare to all americans with my money! You are forcing me to pay MY MONEY for YOUR PROJECTS! typical liberal agenda.

And about equal pay? Lol, if women arent paid as much is because they are dumber and cant work as good as a man. Proof of this is that they havent contribute anything to human history.

Seesh, this liberals!

Please name one person who doesn't want a better health care system. You can't.

Some of us don't want to be forced at gunpoint into a pseudo-better health care system.

Many of you want to force other people at gunpoint to pay for your health care! How is that in any way acceptable?

Mexico had a coup d'etat and now ruled by some crazy communist dictator. They arranged a serious military and want to invade Texas to spread this communist deseas there. You have a very nice mansion and a plant in El Paso. Will you support that US military will stay on VOLUNTARY base when the Mexican tanks are crossing the border?

Here is some people putting their money where their mouth is. Funny how they achieve a sort of "collective" concept of health care without threatening people with jail or violence.

There's no such thing as women are paid less than men for doing the same job with the same quality.

If that's the case, no sane business people, men and women, won't hire men at all. Who would in their right mind hire men just because they are men?

On the contrary, women work less and work in easier jobs. Men build the world - have you seen millions of women lining up at military draft, construction yards, oil platforms, crop fields? Have you seen liberals complaining about the gender inequality there?
