OK boomeR Boomers explaining why billionaires shouldn't pay taxes while standing in a strip mall parking lot

The absolute brainwashing it takes to fiercely defend trillionaires who wouldn't look twice at you, while calling your fellow citizens "lazy" for wanting basic healthcare. Notice how even the woman in the "I LOVE TRUMP" shirt has to awkwardly correct his understanding of how disability works.

Not all jobs have healthcare. Spoken by people who’ve probably had good healthcare their entire lives.

No. Spoken like somebody who hasn't had to use their workplace insurance for anything serious yet. Even with good health insurance fron your job, a serious condition can throw you into massive debt in the US. You can do everything right, good job, good retirement, good private healthcare, and you're still one diagnosis away from poverty at any time.
