Health care is the only good welfare program.

This is semantics, but I’m not sure if I would call universal healthcare a "welfare program." To me, the goal of welfare programs is to lend a hand to the disadvantaged. I wouldn’t say the same about universal healthcare, since its goal is to ensure coverage for everyone regardless of economic status. In that regard, it’s more comparable to public education than programs such as SNAP.

I was referring to UHC.

Straight men are more likely to be annoying.

Rich seniors shouldn't get more social security money than people who need it to live. As a matter of fact, instead of making the poor suffer by extending the retirement age, let's just not give people making more than twice their social security income from other means money.

The Swiss healthcare system would be the best option going forward in the US. It fixes all the bad things about our system (e.g. costs and lack of coverage) but is reasonable enough to implement here since it still treats poor people like sh**t.

We need to adopt a very moderate social democracy to stave off socialism's rising popularity caused by crony capitalism.

We should tax billionaires to insane levels (75%+) so we can reduce taxes for >99% of the population.

Shrinkflation is actually a good thing. It will result in Americans eating less.

Then there should be a tax refund for those of us with healthy BMIs. Fatties can get it too if they can provide video proof of benching their weight (for men) or squatting their weight (for women).

Good point. Some penalties need to exist so fat people can be less fat. Personally I think some form of weight-adjusted health insurance plan (say, allow companies to charge fat people more for healthcare if it is accompanied by a reduction in costs for normal people)
