Time for normal folks to face it: for Democrat voters, not education, nor experience, have any bearing on their beliefs.
The Left tells 'em what to believe, and they don't dare question or even test the reality of those ideas.
They just vote Democrat.
'Cause they're really, really good at following orders.
Thinking? Not so much.
1. "Absurd Economic Ideas That Keep Winning Votes For Democrats
Healthcare should be ‘free’
The idea that everyone is entitled to get treated for ‘free’ when they are sick sounds great, at least on the surface. Everybody gets sick, right? So why should anyone have to pay for good healthcare? The obvious problem is, if someone isn’t paying for it, that means someone has to be forced to provide that “free” healthcare for, well, free.
Democrats will say that’s not their argument, that a taxpayer-funded program like Medicare-For-All would fix everything. Except, when you introduce socialism into the equation you’re bound to get things like insane tax rates (because again, nothing is really ‘free’), deadly inefficiencies (because government) and absurd price and wage controls that stifle innovation and drive anyone and everyone with a lick of smarts who don’t want to work for less than they are worth out of the industry.
See Canada and virtually everywhere else socialized medicine is practiced.
Which means that eventually, if you want to have people to provide all that “free” healthcare, you’re going to have to force them. Did we abolish slavery over a century and a half ago?"
