Comment on I wonder why the world is on fire? A mystery
Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 6 hours agoFun fact! The US is spending more on healthcare than it does on its military. By A LOT. The military gets around 4% of the federal budget, healthcare gets around 12%.
Where does that money go, you ask? Why, to the pockets of the corpos owning private healthcare, of course!
The US taxpayer pays MORE on healthcare in taxes than the the taxpayers in Switzerland or Norway!

Yep. Republicans like my family are still so focused on the idea of “welfare queens” and illegal immigrants who are sucking up their hard-earned taxpayer dollars, while completely blind to the fact that they are spending thousands enriching corporate middlemen who provide little to nothing in return. So who are the real leeches?
