Good for you! It’s hurting me. I have health insurance (17-year teacher)through my employer yet can’t afford to go see a doctor due to high deductibles and co-pays. I have paid off what I borrowed in student loans, yet somehow still owe $70,000. My pay keeps going down, not up, and deductions for my useless health insurance keep increasing every year. BTW: 45,000 Americans die every year due to lack of healthcare. So again, bravo that you aren’t hurting. We all hurt when our country engages in military interventions around the world, killing innocent civilians and overthrowing governments under the guise of “humanitarian reasons” when we are really there to exploit a country’s natural resources. That money could be better spent here at home on our people. For example, 52 percent of the federal budget goes to the military and only 5 percent goes to education. People like Jeff Bezos, Amazon CEO worth $200 billion, paid NOTHING in federal income taxes last year but I, a teacher, paid federal income taxes, as I am sure you did as well. Corporate welfare needs to end. And according to almost all climate scientists, we have 12 years to reverse the effects of climate change or our planet is doomed. That, my friend, will impact us all. I could go on, but I think you get the point…

P.S. Socialism and Communism are not the same as Democratic Socialism. Please inform yourself.
