Now do the Epstein files

Well if you wanna make a moral point, then it's my money too. I pay taxes. It does come from my paycheck.

Rights offered by the state depend on which country you live in.

I am lucky enough to live in a country that has money. I don't believe that only the rich should get cancer treatment. Especially when it's the rich who produce cancerous food that later feeds the poor.
I am very grateful to have proper healthcare in my country rather than private insurance.

And given the reaction when this private insurance CEO got offed in Manhattan, it doesn't look like many people enjoy private insurance in the US either.

Then the embezzling politician should face justice and the bs programs should be cut, I suppose. I do understand that it's not that easy, sometimes.

No system is without flaw, and there will always be people who try to abuse whichever rule is in place. I still believe that taxation is a decent way to spread the burden, conceptually. But since people in charge will abuse it if unsupervised, I agree that there should be independant checks and balances.

Who said anything about being virtuous ? I am not taking any moral high ground, I'm just stating my opinion, which is that everyone profits from mutualizing ressources.

Building bridges and roads, running public hospitals and schools, these are things that benefit everyone but cost a lot of money. We can either collectively surrender some of our income to do so, or hope that the richest will be benevolent enough to do it for us all.
History taught me that the most powerful tend to cling to their power and only give scraps to the rest, so I'd rather put my faith in the group. Apes together strong.

But if you believe that in this dog eat dog world, it's everyone for themselves and that you shouldn't pay for other people's problems, that's fine, we just disagree. No need to be so vexed.

What is not to like with universal healthcare ?

I personally don't believe that it is parasitic behavior to benefit from state help. I also don't believe taxation is theft, because I believe that we thrive when helping those in need with the ressources of everyone.

Not saying that there should be no room for personal property in life, not saying either that the US federal budget is well spent and that cuts can't be made.
