Price gouging is a healthy business practice? How about Medicare fraud, another healthy business practice?
People who stand for nothing deserve nothing, and guess what? looks like a whole lot of nothing on the horizon. Hopefully your cheezy platitudes will make up for it, but I kind of doubt it.
Some people will never be happy, it's the way of the world and you have to step back and say " thanks for holding the door open"
Is it really so bad? Snap outta it.
To answer that question you have to be able to put yourself in other people's shoes. And how does happiness come into being for those who lack even the basic necessities that're required to maintain one's existence? It doesn't, so this has nothing to do with happiness. Access to insulin is completely different from debt-forgiveness, but even then, there are many among the privileged who enjoy such luxuries at the same time they begrudge they're being available for those who aren't so "lucky". The playing field is decidedly unlevel, and until that's rectified you don't have a pot to piss in here. If we eliminated the Federal Reserve System you would have zero tax liability and the playing field would be leveled to a very significant degree. If you're not willing to help make that happen, you have nothing to complain about with respect to Democratic excess, because the two are inextricably linked -- ditto for Republican excess.
The poor get their insulin. The middle class are the ones who pay for the poor's insulin and have to count their pennies to pay for their own insulin when their insurance that they pay ridiculous premiums on doesn't cover it all. The poor are covered insured or not and they get subsidized affordable insurance if they choose to. And now they weaponized the IRS to go after us moderately wealthy (whatever you'd consider that) people even more.
It's the policymakers that are destroying the middle class, not poor people. The waste, mismangement and outright fraud perpetrated by the whores that constitute our government. Before Obama came along medicaid was the most efficient government program BY FAR. Now it's a bad as medicare, because of CORRUPTION, not poor people.
Watch this video about John Calhoun's mouse experiments and you should be able to see that LBJ's "welfare" programs were modeled on them. This is why poor people frequently have negative attitudes and inner-city "culture" is in the gutter. Because that was the intended outcome from day one. This is how you destroy a nation from the inside, by making an entire class of people dependent on another class. So again, it isn't poor people who're to blame, because they had nothing at all to do with the policies that underlie social experimentation.
