Saw this meme today... And here's my response:
What the f*** is wrong with Americans who think government-controlled healthcare is “free”??? I’m American and I am pi**ed that the government takes so much of my money for entitlement programs already, basically at gunpoint I might add, that adding healthcare to it would completely break the back of the “middle class”. Maybe if the government would stop robbing me of my money (before I even have it in my hands, mind you) I would have plenty of extra money to contribute to a GoFundMe for that little boy in Oregon or the kindly old man in Maine. But no, I have to pay into a federal retirement fund that the politicians can steal from, an already corrupt “health” system for the poor and elderly, income taxes, gas taxes, property taxes, state sales taxes, license fees, corporate taxes that are passed along to me so the overlords can keep their profits and bonuses healthy, tolls… hell, who has the time to list them all… Moving on… I’m a very good person and I would love to take care of my fellow humans (and non-humans, really), but my government already takes so much of my money, I barely have enough to keep myself and my family in a state of “decent” quality of life. No, it’s certainly a much, much better idea to have a bureaucracy hire a few thousand people to collect that money, a few thousand more to count that money, a few hundred or so more to act like they need to decide who that money goes to, maybe build some facilities to house all of these people, wait, they’ll need satellite offices, so multiply those costs… Oh, and then some security to keep all that mone-… er, people, yeah, that’s it, people, safe; that can’t cost much, can it? And of course, it would only make sense for the government to build their own hospitals since they’re the ones paying for everything now, right? I’m sure they’ll take competitive bids for those facilities, get ‘em built on-time, underbudget, and without any corruption whatsoever. Yeah, yeah, that happens every day! The government is awesome at everything, literally, everything they do. ;p. No, no, that’s a perfectly good idea to waste an infinite amount of resources so that you can sleep better at night knowing you didn’t have to actually do any work to “help” some people; the government went to everyone’s houses, took their money at virtual gunpoint and under direct threat of imprisonment, and did it for you. Good for you! You’re now a good person! There’s no way with all this technology, lightning fast connections, instant communication, cloud-based information, and nearly instantaneous currency transfers we could ever, ever hope to “out-efficient” the all-powerful, benevolent government. I mean, it worked in Vermon-… Errr… California says they can do it by only doubling their entire budge-… uhmmm… Well, certainly all those Europeans don’t mind paying out the w***o for healthcare. So yes, it’s a much, much better idea to have the government rob us all to pay out pennies on the dollar to whomever they deem “worthy”. Better that than letting us decide with the click of a mouse who our entire dollar goes to with no red tape, no greedy bureaucrats skimming off the top, no politicians with their hands out and a vote to buy, and no special interests that need their pockets lined… Like that’s even possible! GoFundMe, Fundly, crowdsourcing: all made-up words and fake websites… Of course, no, let’s be human beings in the most inefficient and immoral way possible.
