Could have further removed bias [that writer has a problem with that in general], and not only copied or linked your curated comments, but it's not completely terrible.

But at least this shows that there's a faint, glimmering spark of logic and reason in there, in that cacophony of assumption and judgement that makes…

I'm smoking Liberty for Everyone, not just the Victim Classes.

Medicaid or Single Payer systems are just as wrong - they're just on an even grander scale.

You're still saying to person A: "Involuntarily contribute your monies to the same risk pool as person B, assume their risks and that of their behavior, and live with…

And you're trying to tell people that they must violate their beliefs.

Force is force - why not a solution that respected both you and them?

Let's examine this -

Right now, I own a business. I pay, let's say, $100 of my foregone profits that you and your ilk claim are yours because I "didn't build" this business.

That $100 goes toward the employer portion of your insurance. It's not even on my books. It's gone, it's overhead.

You pay, let's say, $100 - same…

Did I say I even like how it works?

I'm just proposing a better solution than FORCE AND MANDATES.

To wit on your prior point: My father says that "It is lonely and expensive to be principled." He said this as a cynic and an old man, but to me, they're worth the expense.

I don't…

Yes - they are called rich, hot, boot-licking betas.

False Assertions are False.

Ah, so you still opted to sit at the table.

Lovely, then.

Would you like to browse the list of Victim Categories you can attempt to claim to be part of to elicit sympathy and get free shit?

We have a special today on Gender War and Hypocrisy. Two for one!

Perhaps the dessert - I mean, false moral superiority - menu?

Would…

Would you rather a direct quote from Rand?

Oh, to you she might as well be [Redacted: Godwin's Law].

You don't want to open that can of worms.

But suffice to say, you're incorrect.

Ah, argumentum ad hominem, party of one?

Your self-loathing table is ready. Free razor blades.

Oh, yeah, and California totally doesn't try to Force people fleeing its destitute economy and terrible social conditions to surrender their money and property at less than market rates by FORCE when they leave, right?
