    Why would I pay the government to collect a pool of money to pay for other people’s medical needs?

    Is the same as saying

    Why would I pay for roads I will never drive on?

      And people believe it!

      “Why should I pay for someone who cannot work to live?”

      “Why should I pay for water to be clean that I may never drink, or air I may never breathe?”

      The corporate brainwashing is staggering.

        I like to point out that animals take care of each other when they are injured. If civilization collapsed tomorrow, those hyper-individualists types would be the first ones to get targeted by natural selection
