How can someone pay taxes when they're in prison?
What about kicking someone out into the street for not being able to pay rent? Or jailing parents for taking food they can't pay for when their children are starving?
It's a cruel world when you're broke. I think necessity trumps greed though. That's what the Social Safety-net is about.
I am all for a social safety net. But Bernies policies are way more than that. It is going to be an entitled way of life. Citizens will expect the government to be their Nanny, and rely upon the government, which is NOT an efficient or effective way to do things.
Look at our Veteran Association Medical system. It is a MESS. It our government run health care system.
Is our ENTIRE COUNTRY going to rely upon something like that?
Calling his plan 'Medicare for All' is very misleading. Medicare which I have and I like, is interspersed with our private Health Care System at this time.
But Bernie wants to tear down our entire system and make it all governmental based system. This a a HUGE country that is very spread out. Our current system is State based. So Bernie is somehow going to transform it all, make it all work seamlessly, across all state lines, and have our federal government in charge????
I cannot imagine a bigger NIGHTMARE than that.
