If you make a decent living you will quickly see how you would end up paying so much more in taxes in those countries your "free healthcare" ends up costing me more than my monthly premiums and my yearly deducitble.

And there's the problem. The lefties pushing for "free" shit for the most part don't have decent jobs with good pay. They have no/useless skills and are working jobs more suitable for teenagers. There's no reason a 30 year-old should be slinging coffee; a junior in HS can do that.

My experience in the games industry says otherwise. It's overrun with leftists who don't comprehend that they ARE the ones being taxed heavily. My experience with them is that they think free healthcare only means taxing people richer than them. They also spend their extra income on new games, new merch, new drugs and can't understand why someone would save up to buy a house or investments.

I've seen similar in my industry. We hire kids straight out of college paying $50k and they don't know shit about the world. We were out drinking after work and I asked one of them "do you believe the government can spend your money more effectively than you can?" He emphatically responded "YES!!!" I was speechless.

Maybe just an inadvertent confession of his own financial irresponsibility?
