I was told growing up that I won’t like socialism once I have to start paying taxes. I pay taxes, but would much rather pay way more taxes to have socialism. Including paying for social programs I wouldn’t use like welfare, free tuition etc.

Once I qualified for work pharmacare that was great! But I remember how much it sucked not having any health insurance. Yeah I bootstrapped it, but I’d hope we would grow up as a species and not have to have so much bootstrapping, since there are better ways at this point.

We already pay enough taxes to support such a system.

Unfortunately… governments spend the money on military instead of social-services.

Personally, I’d love if it were possible to choose where my taxes go as well.

Healthcare, Education, Transit, etc. all of which could be improved upon.
