You have claimed to be in a frat house, and your economic views and your views of the poor indicate that you yourself are rich. As a fraternity member, you are probably around 18-21 years of age. Do you honestly expect us to believe that you got rich in life through honest, hard work, and overcoming adversity?

I'm not rich.
I work hard and buy nice shit once in a while, parents are self made hundred thousandiollaires and I earned the scholarship I have.
Even if I was broke I would never condone stupid views like giving away money just because or taking care of people that made stupid life decisions.

You work hard? However do you find the time to post here 9 hours a day, spend lots of money, and be involved with your fraternity activities? And, do you think that your parents having several hundred-thousands of dollars had nothing to do with anything, and is not what "privilege" means?

That's middle class at least. If that's the poorest you've ever been, then you haven't known poverty. So how do you know what you would do if you were poor, since you've never been worse off than middle class?

I could punch orphan infants in the face, but just because I am capable of doing that doesn't mean I would or should. Yes, you can judge. But given that you've never experienced poverty, isn't it a bit presumptuous to make sweeping generalizations about an enormous group of people? Not every poor person is lazy, and not every lazy person is poor. You're being too narrow-minded.

...no. That's not how it works. There are many causes of poverty. Some (like temporary unemployment) are fixable, others (like going into debt from treating a serious medical condition while not on health insurance, having little to no economic opportunity nearby [rural poverty], poor family upbringing, etc.) are much more complex, and require outside assistance to be solved within a reasonable time period.

Health insurance runs from 50 dollars a month (which would be like 1.75 dollars a day.)
Unemployed, disabled and old people get government Medicaid or Medicare for free.
Then again, this is the kind of situations where I believe that everybody should be covered by a completely government provided health insurance for everybody, a healthy workforce is a productive workforce. Which is different than giving money away to lazy fucks because it would prove more efficient and worthwhile in the long run.

$50 a month is a lot of money for people who have zero income and zero savings. That could be the difference between having food and not having food. But medical conditions are only one of the myriad ways that you can fall into debt, and debt is only one of the myriad causes of poverty. Being poor is not always a result of laziness, so to say "Poor people should just work more" is not the solution. Sometimes there's more to it than that, and if I've convinced you of that, then I'm done.

I have recently paid $700 a month for standard health insurance (wife and myself, as a group plan through my former employer). Out of my own pocket. It’s not typically that cheap.
> Unemployed, disabled and old people get government Medicaid or Medicare for free.
Those don’t cover everything.

I entirely agree that health is a great goal that is both economically and socially defensible.

I pay $32/month for health, prescription, and dental. The problem is a) most people who can't get insurance have pre-existing conditions that no private company wants to cover and b) government/insurance companies paying for everything drives up the costs of medical care, because doctors and hospitals know that they can charge government/insurance companies, pretty much whatever they want. Like $80 for a $10 towel, or $36 for $2 worth of aspirin. Insurance companies aren't the greedy ones driving up health costs.

No, like for bread, eggs and milk. I earned a scholarship too, but it only covers half of my $40,000+ tuition and it doesn't cover my meal plan or textbooks or the cost of living in a dorm. A full scholarship from my school would not cover those things either. If my parents weren't paying for my education, I would be taking out loans so I could have food and pay for living expenses. Loans are necessary; stop pretending they're not.

...no. They are necessary if you want to have college students who can afford to both eat AND go to class, which I think is a desirable outcome.
And if people had shitty parents, or their parents lost all of their money, we should just say "Fuck 'em" and give them no money for food or clothing or textbooks? That's beyond stupid.

If a student works, they have less time to devote to academics, and they need to keep their grades up in order to maintain a scholarship, so giving people a scholarship and then making it incredibly difficult for them to keep it is self-defeating. If you give a loan, that's not a problem.

@previous (Depressionmanâ„¢ !!fNJHcIUn0)This.
You know DM, my parents sacrificed practically everything just to get me through high school, but without government assistance, I never could have gone to university.
This over-privileged little faggot would deny people an education on the basis of their income and social background. What a fucking asshole; no fucking question he deserved that broken jaw.

Good for you, man. I agree. 95% of all people could never make anything of themselves, if not for someone else helping them. Hell, even The Truthâ„¢ would be up shit creek unless his rich parents had helped him.

@previous (Depressionmanâ„¢ !!fNJHcIUn0)Both of my parents worked several jobs to support my siblings and I; Dad as a cleaner and janitor, Mom as a waitress and short order cook. When Truth looks down with contempt on honest, hardworking folk - like my parents - it's no fucking wonder people want to tear him a new asshole.
