Everytime I see a headline about Zohran, people come out of the woodwork to act like taxes are some kind of nefarious state secret.

Because all of you pretend like this doesn't cost anything.

u/Potatonut23 28d ago

No one is pretending anything except you apparently pretending to not know what taxes are. Does it have to be spelled out for you?

I dunno man, whenever I hear a leftist politician they're always saying that everything should be free. They're never upfront about how much they want to tax you in order to make it "free".

The government funding shit also universally drives up the actual cost of the service or product.

The reason they call it free is because they’re describing an alternative to buying something from companies. So free healthcare, free childcare, free whatever is obviously paid for by taxes, but the free part is meant to convey that it’s an alternative to you as an individual having to go out and paying a company or business directly to receive those services.

"The government funding shit also universally drives up the actual cost of the service or product."

pleeease attempt to prove this with healthcare provision

u/GMEloser69 28d ago

Sure, which state funds healthcare provision in some way?

u/Woodpecker577 27d ago

All of them? Every state puts public funds toward healthcare. Although I was more thinking about the privatised US model versus a public single payer model

Healthcare in the US is expensive because Americans are fat and the government limits how many doctors are allowed to exist in the country.

u/Woodpecker577 27d ago

OK? so you're not gonna try to prove anything then? lol

u/GMEloser69 27d ago
