We also need to take a second and realized America is the most upwardly mobile nation in the world. The "wealthy" are a class of do as I say, not as I do fakes... and Americans with any sense wouldn't listen to a word they have to say. Most aren't as intelligent as guys holding down a decent white collar job.

No, just the much more standard reason of understanding that contributing a bunch of money to politicians that will very explicitly cut your taxes is bad for PR. Elon somehow didn’t get this particular memo and it hasn’t been helpful for his flagship company.

Lol, the standard dem boilerplate answer.

The rich and their tax breaks!

No, it’s just kind of the answer. Individual rich people giving politicians massive piles of cash is like universally unpopular actually. It’s not really a failing of the rich person in this case, it’s a combination of the media and the government.

Odd that the rich on the left make theirs known

Ain’t nobody in here saying that it’s not more culturally acceptable in certain circles to be a liberal, which is quite literally my larger point. Most Leftists have a blind spot in their economic ideology when it comes to the rich people they actually like.

I might just die from laughter at the completely contradictory takes we’re about to get on Elon’s subsidies now. Roughly 2 months ago, Elon was saving the country untold billions of dollars through his highly productive government contracting through Tesla and SpaceX. He’s going to essentially be the new USAID and these are now about to be the swampiest contracts to ever exist. It’ll be delicious in its hypocrisy.

Regardless of the rest of the nuance in the healthcare debate, it’s quite funny to me that this guy who supposedly just finally saw the light on the left vs. right looked at this broken system and decided the problem is that immigrants should be paying more, not that he should be paying less.

You constantly miss the key point here.

The issue is the constant subsidization Americans are doing on behalf of illegal criminals and other countries in general

Meh, I subsidize the elderly, the criminals and the disabled already with no additional gain for me, I’m not going to be outraged that a group that actually includes a lot of people currently paying taxes and performing jobs in the country are sometimes included in some specific circumstances.

Its baffling to me you aren't grasping that the error in the system is that tax paying citizens are tasked with huge service bills while non tax paying criminals get those services for free

No, I agree that’s the error in the system. My solution for the error is the tax-paying citizens being tasked with huge service bills, and I would accept the additional taxation required to pay for such a national healthcare system along with any other negative externalities as it’s my belief the good would outweigh the bad.
