Trump threw the Constitution out the window

So don't tell me what's in the Constitution.

Because they don’t want Americans. We’re now a $hithole country.

Go move to Israel if you want free healthcare. They'll gladly take Americans.

The entitlement attitude is childish and gross.

Thomas Jefferson and George Washington certainly felt they had the right to the free labor of the black men, women and children they enslaved. Jefferson also felt he had the right to force Sally Hemings to have sex with him and bear his children which he then forced to work for him until he died. Jefferson and Washington did a lot for America’s founding but they also felt entitled to the free labor of black people that they enslaved despite all their talk about freedom, rights, liberty. I don’t think Sally Hemings, her children, or any of the other thousands of black people who were essentially held hostage and forced to work for free were doing it to be charitable. We’ve all benefited from that forced labor though because we live in the country they helped found and they were able to do what they did and accomplish what they did with the help of the men, women and children they forced to work for free.

We all benefit too when we shop at Amazon, McDonalds, Walmart, and similar businesses and the prices are lower because they can pay their employees less because they don’t have to pay health insurance or a living wage. Bezos can rent Venice because he doesn’t pay taxes like the rest of us. Bezos, Musk, Trump, Bloomberg and many other Billionaires have had years where they’ve paid zero federal taxes and tax rates as low as .1 percent. In 2011 when Bezos was worth 18 BILLION he received a $4,000 tax credit for his kids. The people with the entitlement problem are the greedy billionaires and mega millionaires who’ve bought our media, Supreme Court, and government and they’ve done it by convincing people like you that the people looking for a hand out or to live off someone else’s free, discounted, or forced labor are the working poor, the disabled, children, veterans, and old people who need Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.

Why the fixation on Thomas Jefferson? Go back fifty years and it was a black person that selling them into slavery. Fastforward a hundred years and it was a bunch of poor white people from MAGA country who ended the practice. 1960s slavery was still legal in the Middle East. Today in Kenya (remember where Obama's father is from) there are still 180,000 people living in slavery.

I’m guessing you are also like:
Why should I pay to educate someone else’s child?
Why should I pay for roads I don’t drive on?
Why should I pay for fire stations that will likely never benefit me?
Stop enslaving me to pay for schools, roads, and emergency services I don’t use, waah waah waah

I’m guessing if a poor person breaks their arm, you want them to die of sepsis? Too bad for them, huh.

No, I accept that the democratic process and policies of our lawmakers have led to public schools. I would vote for public schools any day and support paying for them. I understand that roads are fundamental to the economy and support them. Fire stations - the same. I would even support a bond measure to raise money (weirdly some municipalities rely on volunteers to put out fires, yet provide free housing to illegal immigrants). I am not opposed to some level of healthcare, but what is provided on medicaid is far above what I would support. Neighborhood clinics for preventive health and life, limb, and eyesight emergent care seems appropriate - and some program for children who need care and treatment for illnesses. Definitely not some insurance scheme that enriches for-profit health systems.

I hope you die. I mean that.

Obama did NOTHING.

He tried, but the GOP voted down the bills his white house sponsored to do these things. And if you honestly think Trump and RFK,jr are going to do ANYTHING for you, I don't know what to tell you.

Again, neither Barack nor Joe did anything to help get the poisons out of our food.
