Exactly.

The Americans are so entitled. Somehow they think being born in the freest and richest country in the world is enslavement.

They have never stepped outside and see what real slavery looks like.

It IS slavery. They just won't admit it.

Yes, I had a coach who used to say, I don't want you to kill the other team. I want you to nail the coffin lid shut. It's about time all the conservative Republican views were put in a coffin and buried. Let's enslave the rich for a change. They will have to suffer with just one tin of caviar a day. If you take away 90% of a billion dollars from a billionaire, they still have 100 million left. Let them suffer.

Bc it's not slavery? If you don't want to pay the tax/fee, then don't work. Stay home and be in the pool of people who get all the benefit and don't pay for it

That has nothing to do with them issue at hand. We're taking about unique traits of America that hurt it's citizenry. I'm what other country can you lose your life's savings bc of medical bills?

Who’s going to feed me if I don’t work? Now I have to force other people to pay for my meals like you do?

It has everything to do with the issue at hand. You're posting as if terminal cancer doesn't mean the same thing, worldwide. Everyone, worldwide, with terminal cancer dies and loses everything.

Again... No one is forced to pay for anything you use. They are paying for their own access to services via taxes. If you get it for free then it's bc the provider has carved out an exemption for you.
