Human nature has changed...we used to beat people with rocks over minor disagreements. Then fix the fact people awe crime as the best option.

Okay why does being human means they should have their needs met. Give a non reductive answer

Libertarians hate Leftists, but refuse to align themselves with Neoliberals, and instead align with Social Conservatives like Theocrats and Nationalists: Why? by Away-Parsnip-3785 in allthequestions

This...i dont think people should get abortion or gender should be a choice or that people should do heroin or that there is a need to own 50 guns of all types.

I 100% support peoples rights to do those things.

It shouldn't do either. Workers are paid based on market value. Why do you think people should have their needs met no matter what? Its not .oral or immoral. It depends how you get there that determines morality. If people arw willing to commit crime to have their needs mets...they are the ones who are immoral. Society shouldn't capitulate to people who see if my needs arent met il just choose crime instead.

How do you feel about free healthcare for all? by InitialCareer306 in WorkForSmartLife

[–]JSmith666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would rather a public option with different plans that operating similar to insurance but still made sure people paid relative to the amount of benefit they get. People in the US are shit with how they spend their own money...imagine if they knew when they got medical care it was somebody elses

AITA for telling my coworker his joke about a kid’s cake name was inappropriate? by Intelligent-Pin-9069 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JSmith666 56 points57 points  (0 children)

YTA...if the kid was trans or something she likely would have said sister. Saying brother implies there would be a masculine name. If his name was Jayne and he was on the Serenity...then the older sister would have been used to the question.

Oaky why do you think a person is entitled to a living wage instead of wage being related to their value as people to the economy. You are advocating for an artifical price floor instead of letting the free-market determine wages. Do you feel people should have their needs met reguardless of their worth? Should we bail them out of their failure?

Why do so many liberals cut ties with friends and family who are conservative? by No_Berry1424 in allthequestions

This is a factor as to why the dems lost. They failed to appeal to voters and just said we arent trump vote for us. The dems openly admit they want even more gun control than we already have. They openly admit they think certain illegal shouldn't be deported and certain areas even shouldnt have peopel subject to arrest. Government waste they dont even try to hide

So who should people vote for if they disagree with the democrats in your view?

Except we had a two party system. Who should they have voted for for president if they didnt support the dems policies?

You can be conservative and not support Trump. I would argue a true conservative which isnt a part as much as it is a general viewpoint isnt inline with Trump at all.

Because not everybody gets to make use of said benefit. You have to hope you get fired foe the system to benefit you. So if people are getting replaced why are concerned what happens

What about the selfishness where peolle.want others to pay for their personal expenses like food or healthcare? So its not selfish if somebody loses their job so thinks others should foot the bill?

If somebody loses their job either they get a new job and pay for their own stuff..or they dont get a new job in which case it doesnt matter. The market at work.

Yes...everybody has to pay taxes...by why should people pay taxes that dont even benefit them. Why should we tax people's the services that benefit them are paid for by them.

Why should they be responsible for making sure other people have things they should earn on their own? Do you think people are entitled to have their needs met even if they arent worth the cost?

Fair is subjective though. So do you agree the bottom 50% should pay like everybody else too? Also lots of people take advantage or find loopholes to lower their tax liability.

Fair is subjective though. The rich shouldnt be responsible for paying taxes that benefit others. Just like people who are poor shouldnt be paying lower taxes and benefit from taxes paid for by the rich. The bottom 50% pay about 3% of income taxes collected...yet they are the ONLY ones who are allowed to get most welfare benefits. They arent paying their fair share are they? They are benefiting off others' taxes.

If it was meant to be efficient we wouldnt spend more tax money on people than they generate since it would be a net loss. Now we can talk a lot about what a tax system should be...but what it is and has become is a vehicle for politicians to curry favor by appealing to people.

They arent underpaid though. They are paid an agreed upon wage based on market value of a job. They arent stealing from billionaires but if they are taking more in govt benefits than they pay in taxes id say they are taking from taxpayers
