Why is the Republican party so content with denying healthcare as a human right, and trying everything they can to harm people who need any sort of assistance? Like… How do they do it? How much are we talking here when we speak about tax savings for them?

Pretend I am rich? Like how much money am I getting back by Republicans kicking men off healthcare or destroying insurance for those who need it most. It must be alot right?

    This affects where people live too. blue states have higher tax and income tax so why would I live there ?

    Maybe if we could directly see where every penny of our taxes go. But in the US its just blatant theft we try to avoid as much as possible. In other countries you actually see benefits of your taxes. Not here.

    Still if I made 400k a year I wouldn’t really give a crap. Its more when you make 40k a year and taxes take 25% you get a little upset.

      When you earn $400k and lose $200k of it to taxes, you get more than a little upset.

          Classic “there’s only 1 country in the world” math.

          Depends what country you’re in. I’m on far less than $400k and I pay around 40% income tax alone.

            And do you vote in a 2 party system where one of them is following through on threats of dehumanizing immigrants, non-white citizens, and LGBTQ?
