re: To All The Libs and Left

I guess I'm tired of paying for everybody else's shite. Healthcare education food stamps housing free phones.

I make more money. My house is worth more because I save close to 25 years to move to the area that I really wanted to live in. Healthcare doesn't affect me because I'm a civil servant. I pay more in gas. I pay more in taxes. I get less return on my tax dolla. Public schools are so horrible I have to send my kids to private schools.

I've been a cop for 28 years and I've never felt less safe in my job or in my country since I've been alive. Our veterans are not taken care of. Our military basically has nothing. One of my partners son is a Navy seal and he and his wife had to buy their son a $2000 helmet so that he could be safe while he was being deployed. The government doesn't even pay for that.Everybody else comes here and lives off of my taxes.

My mom never never never made more than $30,000 in the year. And we never asked for any assistance.

I love New Orleans but wouldn't know more move my family and live there that I'd move them to the Middle East. I'm white but I've never been privileged, straight, and don't want to share my bathroom with anyone from the opposite sex other than my wife.

I may not agree with everything that Trump does and especially some of his reactions. But I would be a liar if I said I don't love the fact that every time somebody takes a shot Athe sticks it right back to him.

Huh?

The only valid question in the OP is healthcare.

Anyone who says their healthcare is better is lying or works for the government or is poor.

Anyone who had individual health insurance without subsidies has seen their premiums increase 50-300%.

Anyone working for an employer with less than 1000 employees has seen their healthcare increase 20-50%.

Out of pocket costs for everyone has increased. Most deductibles are $2500-$5000 for a family and annual out of pocket max is $5000-$10000.

Networks have also shrunk.

If you are the rare person that disagrees with any of this consider yourself lucky, you are the 1%.

Mizzou men's sports have had a few good football years, but the rest has been in pretty big decline. Maybe this will change under Trump.

Is your home worth more?

Yep.

Bought in April of 2009 at $209k, comps are in the $400k range now.

Do you make more money?

---

Yep, about 30% more than I did in 2008.

Is your health care better?

---

Yep, my rate went down because my employer offered more choices after ACA.

Do you feel safer?

I never felt unsafe to begin with.

Any more questions?

while every liberal claims it has gotten cheaper.

Actually in believe most have commented that theirs has gone up. I don't claim to know the political ideologies of everyone posting here though.

Well my healthcare is definitely more expensive. However, the wife and my wages have increased as well. Our 401k's are doing really well. We are doing OK.

The social issues I simply dgaf about. Marry a tree for all I care.

I guess I'm a centrist.

I find it amusing that every conservative on this site has claimed their health insurance is more expensive post-ACA, while every liberal claims it has gotten cheaper.

---

Truthfully, my previous providers rates went through the roof, blaming ACA in the process.

I switched to a cheaper alternative, who carries their healthcare system with their insurance, and to be honest it was eye opening to see the tests and care I was given compared to my previous doctor.

I chalked it down to the fact that they were also insuring me, therefore keeping me healthy was good for their bottom line.

We cool. It's the internet, I'm not gonna take things personal, especially around here.

You are trying to apply logic to illogical people. Our nature is one that wants to belong, to have purpose. Unfortunately, there are those among us who are desperate to fill this void in their lives. They join cults, and other extreme groups and adopt fringe causes in the name of justice. So when you ask them how is their life better in terms of a job or healthcare, it doesn't resonate. It's not the job, it's the idea that they are somehow a foot soldier in the fight for a 15 dollar an hour minimum wage that has made their lives better and given them purpose.
