What country is he talking about? Cuz it sure as shit ain't this one
Shits all fucked up my guy
We should take away their free healthcare
Mike Johnson says the healthcare program leads to "able-bodied young men" playing videogames instead of working
Everyone else has already pointed out the obvious point that free healthcare does not exist here, but you've at least gotta give it to him that this is a reasonable conclusion to draw given that "able-bodied young men" would surely be the least likely among us to get by without access to healthcare.
Nah, it’s because I don’t want to be around cunts like the congressman.
Congressman can't be fired for doing a poor job?
It must be really nice to live in a world where your own idiotic opinions don't lead to any meaningful consequences for yourself.
Hey Johnson... care to let people in on your little secret? As in... little... secret.
Just a normal US politician. They lost all connection to reality ages ago. Take his ID papers away and let him survive on minimum wage jobs somewhere where nobody knows his sorry face.
The joke that keeps on giving
What???
What free healthcare? And even if they have that, that doesn't pay for food, shelter, etc...
I worked my ass off for ten years and had shit healthcare and i lived hand-to-mouth. Never got ahead. Now that I'm unemployed I get the best healthcare I've ever had for free. I can be broke while working my ass off, or I can be broke and get benefits. Its a no brainer.
I mean, isn't that kinda true? I have Medicare disability and Medicaid. I don't need to work for it. In fact, I need to not work to get it. I also get disability, so motivation for work is low.
And you paid into those programs yourself for a long time. Even if you had not paid, what if you had been born blind or without working legs or some other condition which severely limited the jobs available to you? The government should be using our taxes to help people who need it, regardless of their individual ability to pay into the system.
If you're a member of this society and disabled, society should take care of you, otherwise it's a shite society.
The problem is our society is hostile towards the concept of... Society.
We've been poisoned to believe individualism is strength when it is weakness. We've been propagandized to resent Americans when they fall on hard times, angry when they draw on herp derp muh tax dollars so as not to die when they lose a job or get an illness.
The US has a profound, deep rooted culture problem. We're more a gaggle of wannabe rugged individuals undermining one another for oligarch crumbs than a society. That's why I want this place to collapse, as both parties want that hyperindivualism poison to keep running us, because only under that die alone, sink or swim, winners and losers race to the bottom national ethos can the owners continue to exploit us to death for ever moar profit that's still never enough.
It's brought nothing but misery, it's destroyed the social contract, and it's destroying the planet. If we do not end our worship of the individual and the pursuit of avarice, it will end us.
I don't know... I think it's the phrase "government teet" that I don't like. I don't ever want to be portrayed as suckling at the government's teet. But yeah, I mean, they hardly give me anything anyways.
That phrase is again just the perverse villainization of the social contract and being a society, and it ultimately only benefits those that want to extract wealth from societies instead of being a member of one.
I'm sorry that it sounds like you've internalized that capitalist aggression meant to keep our citizenry undermining one another instead of lifting one another up. If you're disabled, your society should be judged for failing to give you adequate aid.
I mean maybe you do, but not being able to afford healthcare doesn't automatically mean you're just choosing to play video games all day. I know a guy who's in his second year of med school, does community health volunteering in his free time, and is on Medicaid with the intention of helping others on Medicaid when he finishes.
There's tons of children dependent on Medicaid, pregnant women, people with disabilities, people who work full time but still fall below the poverty line. There are so many different people that depend on Medicaid for different reasons. That's why cutting it to give wealthy people a tax cut is a disgusting thing to do.
