autumnhobbit:

it genuinely disturbs me to see exactly how many people are drooling over the idea of democrats beating republicans for no reason other than beating republicans. y’all are acting like this is a sports rivalry and its gonna be sO FUNNY TO WATCH THE OTHER TEAM CRY AND SLINK HOME IN DEFEAT AW YEAH

This isn’t a game and this isn’t high school or college, and the fact that you act like it is tells me you don’t actually understand how anything works yet. The candidates you gleefully worship “winning” will most likely not change or improve your life in any way, shape, or form. If you think any politician is going to fix all of your and the world’s problems, you’re out of your mind. It’s more likely they’ll fix absolutely none of them, and that’s IF they don’t actually cause more problems.

You also don’t seem to understand the fact that everything you want has to be worked for in order to obtain it. If you want free healthcare, you’re demanding tons of people work for absolutely nothing. Either that, or you’re demanding that tons of people work for the government, who then steals tons of money from other, lesser-paid people in order to pay the medical industry. I made less than $20,000 this year and I’m likely to forfeit $5k of that to income tax. That’s not counting any other tax. That’s four months of the time I worked. Taxes are already ridiculous and crippling. Why do you think tons of people are out of the workforce and have given up on ever working? Why would you bother when you’re actively punished for working?

If someone wants something, someone has to work to make it or provide it. You can’t just throw one group of average, decent people under the bus to please other average people. It is stealing. Yes, it is morally-wrong to steal from one normal person’s liveliehood to support another person who is unwilling to work, or even try to work.
