Let's dissect this. First, the VA's failures aren't due to funding—throwing money at bureaucracy doesn't fix structural rot. The Pentagon loses billions annually, yet you trust these same institutions with healthcare? Systemic barriers exist, but your solution—confiscatory taxation—punishes success and stifles innovation. Those "hoarded" offshore funds?
They're often reinvested globally, creating opportunities even you benefit from indirectly.
As for "trickle-down," it's a strawman. Real economics is about voluntary exchange, not forced redistribution. And taxation isn't theft when limited to essential services, but your vision expands it into outright plunder to fund utopian pipedreams.
You accuse me of privilege, yet your ideology infantilizes the poor, denying their agency. Empowerment comes from meritocracy, not handouts. And yes, I benefit from roads and schools—I pay for them. But healthcare and housing? Those aren't rights; they're commodities. Redefining them as such is semantic tyranny.
Lastly, hypocrisy? I advocate for personal responsibility within the system. You want to burn it down and replace it with a leviathan. Careful—history's graveyard is full of such "noble" experiments.
