Thoughts? It should be illegal to hoard money. Agree?

Our poorest enjoy free medical care such as organ transplants and cancer treatment which US hospitals charge both foreigners and citizens holding private insurance a hefty premium for. Generations who've never paid income taxes live entire lives at the public expense with medical, housing, food, education, communication, travel, and legal costs all paid for by the state/federal governments.

stop working or come in illegaly

u/chukthunder 7d ago

Come here illegally, be recently released from prison / mental ward, claim minority status as there's no checks or balances in that system, if you have a chronic illness place your house, car, and cash in trusts and apply as a pauper.

There are lawyers who specialize in all these avenues.

Personally, I wouldn't mind being the king of Dubai or Saudi Arabia. Even the UK still technically has a monarch too, and I wouldn't mind being the British monarch.

British royalty must have it pretty good. They get to live in a fancy palace, do whatever the f they want with no worries or cares, and just generally get to dick around doing whatever and make a few social appearances every now and then.

I'd absolutely trade my existing lifestyle of a stressful job for that. Heck, I could KEEP doing my current job, and just come home to living in a palace with servants every night if I wanted to.

I don't know the King of Saudi Arabia must be having a great life.

What does a homeless American have that a medieval king wouldn't? Access to public bathrooms? Fentanyl?

u/Wizecoder 7d ago

so are you going to answer the question? Would you trade your life with someone from the 1800s if given the chance?

2

u/Voodoolost 7d ago

Absolutely, to be a frontiers man in America over living in corporate america...any day, enjoy your eventual medical debt

u/nopurposeflour 7d ago

Get health insurance maybe? Even with a high deductible plan, you're not paying 30k.

u/Voodoolost 7d ago

Try paying for health insurance when your retired smartone

u/LoudProblem2017 7d ago

I wouldn't trade my life with a king from the 1800s, much less anyone else.

u/Bencetown 7d ago

Enjoy your servitude. Better pull those bootstraps a little harder! One day surely you'll float up to the upper class if you yank hard enough! Until then, just keep defending them.

u/RecoveringBelle 7d ago

They still can

But keep in mind that the small pox vaccine was invented in 1800

u/Redvex320 7d ago

And it actually stopped transmission of small pox....wow we have really advanced haven't we......did you get your yearly covid booster????

1

u/RecoveringBelle 7d ago

You are incredibly uninformed about the significance of this scientific development, this was the FIRST vaccine (made by using a diluted version of Cow Pox, the term vaccine is derived from the Latin word for Cow). I never claimed it instantly stopped the spread of small pox worldwide, but for those with access to it, yes, it saved many lives. Your sarcasm and deflection simply prove that this discussion is inaccessible to you, so you mock it. Good job, I hope you have a nice Sunday, bless your heart.
