The problem then is the same as it is with the ACA. It is a one trillion dollar tax on the middle class.
Curious what the Bernie types are going to come up with when you are a sucker if you work, if that is not already the case.

Instead of thanking Bernie for Trump's victory with sarcasm, you should be asking why Hillary lost to Trump by confronting the truth.

What facts support your opinion that "you are a sucker if you work?"

A good system would benefit what passes nowadays for the middle class, like the taxes that pay for infrastructure, if single payer/ full participation.

"Facts" ? I love it. Yours or mine.
Fact is you can find evidence to support whatever you already believe.

On the level of most internet opinion wars, sure.
On the level of actually figuring what will work and what we should do, real facts really help, and fake facts really hurt.
But who cares about that shit?

I get it. You will not offer any facts to support your assertion.
I can think of numerous advantages to working in my profession that go beyond the monetary compensation received. Yes that is anecdotal, but it is my experience. Perhaps you would conclude that my recognition of those other advantages makes me a sucker.

Makes me conclude that you are going off on a tangent.
If you are a single mother, which most are these days, it is a simple matter to find out what is available per state for women with children, particularly under the age of five.
And, anecdotally I can introduce you to a dozen neighbors of mine who have never worked in their life yet miraculously they have as much or more than somebody trying to work at Dollar General or McDonalds.

Then you should turn those people in.
That you continue to enable them makes you a party to their wrong doing.

So that's your complaint, folks getting free shit they didn't "earn"?
A perfectly good reason to screw folks who actually need the help by giving it to folks that don't need it in the form of tax cuts, because some folks get free shit. The Henny Penny gospel according to Ayn Rand, "I've got mine, fuck you".
Fuck that.
