      You could too, you just need to borrow from the future, with interest. The poor of the future will be screwed by austerity, in order to save the rich from higher taxes, we’ve already rolled back the capital gains tax over 250k.

        I love this. It’s classic FUD and it shows a complete lack of understanding of the prime benefit of a consolidated service.

        This is a great moment for you, as you have SUCH potential to learn a great deal. Will you?

      I will never, ever qualify for the benefit.

      I’m pretty sure some of my taxes will go to eventually fund someone who does qualify, though. And, having been VERY poor as a child and again in my 20s, I know the effects of inequal access to preventative care.

      So little of my taxes will go to pay for this, but I’m really happy it will, as my current state is costly and didn’t have to be, and I don’t wish it on anyone!
