    You realize that you need people to have children if you want to keep having a doctor or firemen or farmers and so on? Child credits benefit you even if they don’t go in your pockets directly.

    You’re the exact type of person that prevents social programs from being implemented, if it doesn’t benefits you directly then no one should get the benefits.

      Can you go over my comment one more time, and point to me where I said I was against the credit completely? As in, I said I didn’t think it deserved to be there at all?

        You said your “don’t jive” with such measures because it doesn’t concern you as a childless person, I’m telling you it’s ridiculous to “not jive” with such measures because you still need people to have kids even if you don’t have them yourself. You don’t like a measure that benefits you because you are too self centered to realize it does.

          Oof. Bad take, bad take.

          Here’s the thing, I can still not personally like something, complain about not ever getting anything myself as a single non married person, while still voting for the person and that policy because I know it benefits the greater good.

          You don’t seem to realize that people can dislike something, and feel left out of policies like these, but still support it for the greater good.

          Next time before you call someone fucking self centered, how about getting more details.

          Fucking asshole. Have a terrible terrible day today.

            That’s the thing though, you are getting something from it! But because others are getting money and you’re getting something that isn’t money you can’t see it and therefore dislike the project!

            Who’s got a bad take here? The person disliking social safety nets or the person disliking them when it isn’t a direct advantage to them?

            You’re part of a community, when people suffer you feel the consequences, when people do better you do better. Get your head out of your ass.

                Prove me wrong if I’m so stupid.

                Child poverty leads to people who don’t get as much education which leads to people voting against their own best interest like they did a few days ago.

                Are you going to pretend you won’t feel any consequences of that?

                Less education leads to people being less healthy which leads to higher healthcare costs that comes out of your pockets.

                Are you going to pretend you don’t feel any consequences of that?

                  This will be the last time I reply, okay? I do not have the energy to explain myself to some fucking fool with no reading comprehension. I’ll put it as simple as possible.

                  Just because I do not agree with something 100%, does not mean that I do not support it 100%.

                  If you had any reading comprehension skills, you’d have noted during my first comment I asked you where I said I didn’t think the credit deserved to exist at all. You never did that, by the way. You started blabbering about shit I already understand and support. That is precisely why I called you stupid. I never said it did not deserve to exist. I said I voted for Kamala anyway, because I understand the greater good. What are you not fucking getting?

                  Imagine that. A “leftist” who immediately attacked another actual left leaning person, because for some stupid fucking reason, they read an entire paragraph, and only came through with the sentence “that don’t jive with me, personally”. That’s it. That’s all it was. I didn’t agree with it completely, but still supported it.

                  That, in my opinion, is why I think you’re terrible about getting your “point” across. You had no point, because you went on the basis of a part of a huge paragraph, without even looking at the rest and digesting that and fully taking it in.

                    You keep repeating the same shit, “I don’t get anything from it”, my point from the beginning has been that yes, you do in fact gain something from it.
