True. The time of greatest need has passed. However, I feel it would be cool and good for a :ryanpop: to be retroactively added to any post detailing the 17 billion separate Trump fuckups since the Ryan endorsement.

I don't know if you're joking but I run my own business where I live abroad, I make about 30k a year and have to pay an additional 15% in US taxes on top of local taxes.

That's 15% off my sole income of 30k. Granted living costs are lower where I live, but still.

The two sides are talking past each other. People arguing with Kilroy are talking solely about the taxes assessed on someone that renounced their citizenship. Kilroy seems to be bouncing back and forth between that and the taxes expats (that are still citizens) have to pay. Some actual expats are doing drive-bys and supporting Kilroy without realizing he keeps switching arguments.

It's a testament to how lovely workers get treated in the US that it is considered a pipe dream that someone would be able to take four weeks off of work without being bankrupted.

It seems like a lot of people continue to think the taxation only applies to assets in the US, despite that being absolutely not the case at all and me pointing out that this is not the case at all several times. For the all the bleating about "Kilroy isn't arguing in good faith" going on in this thread it seems that most people aren't actually reading by posts before typing up an angry reply in a huff.

Nah gently caress you because you're rich, don't you see?

Did you see my comment about wanting single-payer? I am in favor of a stronger system. Whether or not people who need care are getting it or not doesn't mean the program isn't in the weeds.

So no, I won't eat human poo poo because I think Obamacare needs a lot more help. Can progressives please stop trying to eat their own kind? This is why we never hold on to power. Fortunately conservatives are gorging on themselves, so maybe things will change.

Yeah like there is nothing wrong with saying Obamacare is still extremely flawed. I just saw on Facebook about a woman who got a notification in mail that her Premium payment on her medical insurance is going to jump from $745 to over $1k. That's loving insane. Nobody should have to pay that much.
Right now Obamacare is a life saver for some and very much NOT affordable for others.

I suppose that's true, but it's just odd that the US is one of two countries in the entire world where this is the case. I think it's valid to ask why that is if you're personally affected by it.
