(1,716 posts)Right now, my family would lose money under the taxes for single payer -
Guess what? I don't mind losing that money if one other family can also get health care.
Right now my family works for the government -
Guess what? Under Bernie the spending of the military would be curtailed, perhaps putting my husbands position at risk. We're ok to take that risk even if it means him taking a cut, because if our infrastructure is repaired its better for all. If College is affordable, it's better for all. If even a tenth of what he intends happens. It's BETTER FOR ALL.
So yeah, the best leaders inspire sacrifice. If we were greedy "I got mine screw you" people we'd vote for Hillary or a Repub.
Pretty crappy post there Hill2016. Maybe post something positive next time.
