People who “don’t see color” are not allowing themselves to see the whole picture… You shouldn’t pretend that race doesn’t exist when there are everyday injustices that reminds us all that it does. The water crisis in Flint, MI is highly disturbing and sad. I remember visiting there as a child and it reminded me of my parents hometown, Detroit. I’ve had this image in my head for a while because this is what I see when I read the news reports, etc. The people responsible for this crisis need to be called out and dealt with.

To the anon who said that free college is fiscally impossible: please go look up college prices in Germany, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and pretty much all the other Scandinavian countries. College is free. Even for international students, so basically whatever the American government is selling to y'all about free tuition being impossible is bullshit.

Sanders Admits Health Care Plan will Increase Taxes on the Middle Class

Despite repeatedly claiming that his social programs will be paid for by “the 1%,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt) admitted that his newly unveiled health care plan will require the middle class to pay more in taxes.

The only important thing that happened during the Dem debate.

[waterboarding-deactivated201705]

He is garbage.

[thechurchofbobsaget-deactivated]

but but but the 1%!!!!!!

[t0natiu]

Ok hold on, I actually just read the article and it actually seems the people who said “oh he’s garbage” or whatever didn’t actually read what they reblogged.

His plan involves increasing taxes, yes, but he’s also planning to do away with private insurance premiums. You’re actually saving money via that plan, so ultimately better off financially. Put simply, private insurance premium going away means all that money back in your pocket. Then, you pay SOME of that money to taxes. Taxes go up, BUT you’re paying less than you’d have paid the private company. So yes, you’d be paying more taxes, but in total your expenses go down by thousands.

Read the things you reblog, dammit.

[communismkills]

Uhhhh

You literally admitted he says he wants to increase taxes.

[laurababora]

oh boo hoo, you pay a little bit more in taxes. how else do people expect shit to get done? -_-

[communismkills]

… Really?

[doomy]

oh no my taxes are going to be more

and people nationwide will stop suffering from lack of healthcare 

and maybe ending poverty will take a step in the right direction

and maybe private insurance companies will stop gouging people 

and hey I’ll actually have a net positive after all this since it saves me money in the long run

and hey maybe we’ll be on par with every other 1st world country on the planet

and hey maybe parents will call the hospital when their kids are sick instead of waiting it out because their insurance rates are too much for them to afford

but

oh no my taxes are going to be more

[whytestallion-deactivated202511]

Same rhetoric as obamacare. Premiums are up, coverage is down, but hey. At least everyone….no wait.

Government run healthcare is the biggest croc of idiocy alive today. Medicare, medicaid, obamacare, all failures. All dying. But juuuuuust one more right? This time it will work!

[doomy]

so what r ur opinions on minecraft?

[lavenderharmony-deactivated2025]

So… The NHS…

Guys, Sanders is asking for a 2.2% health care tax hike to cover health care costs. If your household is earning $70k a year, that’s $1,540 a year in extra taxes.

There will also be a payroll tax levied on employers of 6.7%. Assuming the entire cost is passed on to workers (and I guarantee you it won’t be - customers will also pick up part of the tab), that’s an extra $4,690, bringing the total to $6,230 a year.

Obamacare average household premiums were about $16,800 in 2015, and are still rising. That’s at least 2.7 times higher than the tax hike (a highly conservative estimate), and will probably be higher as health care costs continue to rise.

You will not need to pay for premiums in a single payer system. You’re literally saving over thousands of dollars a year if you’re a middle class citizen, and even more if you’re a working class citizen.

There are plenty of other examples of nations that have implemented a single payer system, and their citizens are paying significantly less than Americans.

Do your research before complaining about taxes.

reblogging for hard numbers

[punk-bot-deactivated20240519]

Reblogging for hard numbers. This is what George Carlin meant when he said that the owners of our country don’t want an educated populace - they want people just smart enough to do the shit work, and just dumb enough not to know how badly they’re being screwed over compared with the rest of the civilized world. Everyone who whined “but TAXES” and “he is GARBAGE” is a living example of how this plan is working out for the owners of our society, the 1%.

[aura218]

tldr: You pay 2% more in taxes but save $1000’s a year in insurance premium. You will pay $0 for insurance premiums.

I am Italian, born and raised in Italy, and now live in the US.

I can guarantee you that GOVERNMENT SUBSIDED HEALTH CARE WORKS EVERY FUCKING WHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD.

My dad was diagnosed with cancer in 2005. He had four major surgeries, chemo, radio, hospital stays, constant check ups. From then till the day he passed away in 2011 (after a three week hospital stay) we paid MAYBE about a grand? or two? shit I can’t even remember it was SO FUCKING LITTLE. 

I dont know how the fuck anyone can expect a society to work without paying taxes, nor I do understand why taxes are a-okay when they fund COLOSSAL MILITARY SPENDING, drones, wars, or MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN BAILOUT FOR WALL STREET, but you suddenly have a problem when it’s about BETTERING THE GODDAMN COUNTRY.

Sanders: “I’m a socialist”

people: “alright”

Sanders: “I want to pay for healthcare with taxes”

people: “haha gotcha what an ideological traitor!”

If you read this to the end, please spread this around. Or at the very least, maybe limit this down to the more important posts so people can actually read what matters about it. Because this crap needs to be straightened out.

[jarvofanswers]

Don’t just skim this! If you are a statesman, (and especially if you are middle or lower class,) and intend to vote this year, read this, before you vote against Sanders, and throw away the best possible candidate!

[bellaxiao]

that would actually make a difference

Being abused can seriously affect your ability to distinguish between “not obviously pleased” and “obviously displeased” because abusers go from Neutral to Hostile for absolutely no discernible reason, and eventually you start worrying that everyone is going to be like that and you start feeling this urge to make absolutely sure that the people you actually care about aren’t mad or upset, because to you, “there’s no evidence that they’re not angry” is the same as “there’s evidence that they are angry”
