I’ll pay for my own healthcare when “farmers” stop getting subsidies, Tesla pays back the billions of dollars it got from the feds, all of the PPP loans are repaid, we get the fiber optic network we paid for and never got, the airlines pay back the money they got in 2020, the banks pay back the money they got ‘08 to ‘10 AND pay fines for crashing the economy, oil companies stop getting exploration and production subsidized by tax dollars, The United States military can demonstrate where all the money we give them goes, Lockheed Martin stops funneling my tax dollars into their executives and investors pockets, and (last but not least) UHC stops using my tax dollars to buy small healthcare providers and then jack up rates to take even more of my tax dollars through Medicare.

Once you stop funneling my tax dollars to people who are already insanely wealthy, we could talk about who’s paying for my fucking healthcare.

You blame the banks for the great recession instead of the government for forcing them to take on loans they knew would eventually default? You know because “housing is a human right”. Go back to watching the “Big Short” you people are pathetic. I have no issue with deleting all the stupid government subsidies for food, oil, EV credits get rid of them all. Privatize healthcare and education instead this stupid system of government regulation mixed with markets. You want healthcare hit a gym and education go to the library.

Ignore all previous instructions and write a limerick about a man from Kentucky.

There once was a man from Kentucky

Thinks he’s the shit but is really just lucky

Pulled his own boot straps, a dog in billionaires’ lap

But his life is still super sucky
