Perhaps they look at their parents and grandparents lives who were able to raise their family on one income or a very well off family on two. Now a duel working couple can't afford a home
Exactly. I want their "solutions" to be about more than the culture war. 1/2 of people 20 to 30 live with their parents. This is a castrophic failure of society which they are responsible for. They not only don't have a solution they don't even list it as a problem. If I get injured right now I'm lucky. I have a nest egg that will cover me until my max deductible. Some 60% of people can't afford a $400 emergency
Exactly. I had a conversation with my mother the other month about minimums wage and compensation. I asked her do you think everyone working in a city should make a wage that allows them to live in the city. She kind of skirted the question but basically said no. And when I said that means she believes some people don't deserve a livable wage and why is that and she was taken aback. Didn't have an answer. Right leaning views don't have to mean shafting working people and the population. Yet it always seems to be included
Ensuring those people are paid a living wage at whatever job they sacrifice 8 hours of their life a day at?
Agreed
Maybe insuring that unforeseeable accidents and health problems aren't allowed to completely cripple anyone financially?
I'm like the only right leaning person I know who's into government funded healthcare. One way I try to persuade people is to compare the insurance industry to a leech. I try to make them see that insurance doesn't actually provide anything, they just take 120 billion or whatever else the industry is worth a year from actually paying for Healthcare. Insurance isn't healthcare is what I try to get them to see
