> [@n20junkie](#): > > So doctors, nurses, aids, and all those people shouldn’t be paid for thier work. Doctors that spend 9-10 years in school shouldn’t get a healthy pay check. Why would anyone start a healthcare business if they can’t make profit. Isn’t profit the driving force of this very economy. And you see how the DMV, welfare, highway authority… are all run and you still think that the government can do a better job, good luck with that one. > > What industry do you work in? Would you work in it if it was non-profit? If not, then why should doctors. Do you think we would have the best people doing the job if we paid them like auto mechanics? > > Your right this economy isn’t linear, because even though they the GOVERNMENT is making RECORD PROFITS (not just the oil companies) they still want more money. > > I have a simple question, when is enough enough. Will we ever pay less taxes, or are my kids going to pay 80 percent of thier income to taxes? > > We have to get to a point, that we as a people stop wanting to pay for the social scum of this planet, and decide that we want to work so that we can enjoy the benefits, not everyone else. I work for me and my family. Once we get rid of the BS social spending for the derelicts of this state, then I will accept more taxes. Until then, your just moving money like a sick peter pan. > > Our current idea of how to run this state isn’t working. If it did, we wouldn’t have the higest taxes in the union, with the same services as the other states. Oh if your a dirt ball, you get more in NYS, but what does a working individual get? Tell me why I the working person, should pay more of my check. What do I get for it? After all it is MY money, I earned it. Do you even fucking read? I said HEALTH INSURANCE should not be run for-profit. That doesn’t mean people don’t get paid it means you’re not trading the stock based on PROFIT increases of an industry that is supposed to TAKE CARE of people. For profit insurance ends up creating a system where the goal is to deny rather than to care for its customers. FYI, medicare has less bureaucratic economic loss than the private health insurance industry. The government isn’t making profit you fucktard, we run deficits. The government NEEDS to start making profit so we can pay down the MASSIVE DEBT we have. Oh are you too stupid to know the difference between revenue and profit? So sit down, shut the fuck up about “oh it’s my money, I shouldn’t have to pay taxes if I don’t want to, boo fucking hoo” You go figure out a way to have a functioning society without social programs (that doesn’t turn into a police state) and I’ll give you a big cookie. Maybe you and AWDrifter can go live off the grid together, enjoy living off nature (you know that thing we dirty liberals try to keep preserved and clean with YOUR money) --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-york-needs-to-raise-taxes/52933)._
