i dont know what taxes derek pays or if he is aware of the cost of “free” health care. it’s taxpayer funded healthcare so it should be called that.

but how tasty it says to say in a rally “free healthcare! free education!” and the crowd roars (i’ve done it actually)

and oh, or else paid by billionaires. except it isn’t as i showed above. it’s the middle class that gets fucked. the consumer, the worker, and the retiree.
