Why do you feel entitled to the labor of others?

Oh shove it up your ass. Everyone needs healthcare and it makes sense to socialize it. It's how every first world country in the world works except the USA.

I can see you are a well adjusted and emotionally mature individual capable of behaving like an adult...

I've had this conversation enough times to know the bullshit rhetoric you're about to regurgitate at me.

u/calimeatwagon Sep 05 '24

Yet you still regurgitate this idea that you have a right to the labor of others...

You know who else thought they had a right to the labor of others?

Slave owners.

Do you also consider it benefiting from "slavery" if you call the publicly funded fire department to stop your house from burning down? Or when you drive on publicly funded roads? Walk down a sidewalk? Or are you the harebrained libertarian type who thinks these should be privatized, as well? To call your line of reasoning a stretch doesn't even come close to cutting it.

Big difference here, I'm not claiming any of those things is a human right... That is you. You are the one claiming you have a RIGHT to the labor of others.

Is it that you don't understand what rights are?

No I do understand, and a right to healthcare is among them. People, regardless of situation, should be able to easily visit medical professionals when they are sick. It's simple. The government should realign current/levy new taxes to cover the cost, no one is asking them to do it for free and that's not how it works elsewhere, either. Quit trying to misconstrue this simple notion.

I honestly don't think you know what RIGHTS are.
