You do realize that there is a difference... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 20/02/2019 05:54:50 PM

between utilizing infrastructure (roads, schools, electrical/data lines, etc) and paying for your health care.

There's a big difference.

Your obvious anger, frustration, and hate demonstrate much in regards to not just the topic, but who you are as an individual. There is the capacity to have thoughtful discussion with the point of understanding (not persuading). However, I don't see you ever really wanting that. Instead, you rant, rave, and curse at me.

And even more interesting....you said the phrase...

<snip>
"why should someone else benefit after i've already sucked up more than i deserve?" </snip>

Where do you get off assigning value to me as to "more than I deserve?" You don't know me. You don't know the path my life has taken. You don't know the hard work or the sacrifices. And despite this knowledge, you have already ascribed a value to me that I have somehow "sucked up" more resources/benefit than I deserve.

See above...anger, frustration, and hate. Also see rant, rave, and cursing. Or you can examine your own words and see all of that too.
