    You’re right - it’s the same bullshit as the argument against welfare, food stamps, disability or any other social safety net: “BuT sOmEoNe WiLl AbUsE iT!!1!”

    So? I’d rather have two people “fake” needing help so the other two thousand can get access to the care they need. I’d rather my taxes and labor feed EVERYBODY, than starve so many to spite a fucking strawman.

    The anti-social selfish fuckery of sociopath billionaires and those who aspire to be like them piss me off to no end. If everyone shares abundance, nobody goes without, and things don’t need to be jealously protected when douchebags aren’t hoarding resources. One person “mooching” and spending their money back into society is waaay different than siphoning.
