(Nor does debt. No revenue is needed.)<br /><br />[3] Leftists who continue to talk as if “taxpayer dollars” must be collected to “pay for” government programs are undermining Medicare-for-all and every other progressive policy initiative.<br /><br />The article is poorly written, but it’s better than nothing. It explains how leftists cut their own throats by repeating neoliberal lies that are fed to them from birth. <br /><br />https://www.counterpunch.org/2018/09/21/taxpayer-money-threatens-medicare-for-all-and-every-other-social-program/Konradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739209449391854796noreply@blogger.com
