I could give you multiple reasons to be both an advocate of sound money and a supporter of social welfare.

Here is one: I value universal healthcare. I like that everybody, no matter their income, has access to the same healthcare services. I live in a place where healthcare is excellent, and I do not feel robbed when paying my taxes.

I do believe that a transition to a Bitcoin standard would benefit both individuals and society.

"I do not feel robbed when paying my taxes"

so what? if you get mugged and you don't "feel robbed" you still got robbed

And your subjective feelings don't entitle you to rob others

So, now I rob others ...

I'm a thief because I want equal access to healthcare, education, ...

We might share the view that Bitcoin is a better money, but I'm afraid it ends there.

You want "equal access" to my wallet to pay for things you regard as important

Pay for your own healthcare and education, you lazy bum!

I'd love it if you could have a conversation without insulting me.

Anyway, why alienate from Bitcoin people that have different political views? They are not going to disappear just to please you.

If you didn't pay taxes for "universal healthcare" would you not have more $ to afford (usually much higher quality) private care?

I might (if I'm quite wealthy and not too sick). 😉

But what about those that are just earning enough to make a living?

I'd like they could have my same chances to get well when sick.

"same chances to get well when sick"

Your desire for health equality must come at the expense of political equality

Some are allowed to tax others, but not the other way around

Moreover, how do you think this all worked prior to state intervention in healthcare? I happen to know that in the early 1900s Americans worked 5 days per year on average to pay for healthcare, and now it is over 50.

Perhaps you are ignorant of the history of mutual aid societies, doctors providing free or discounted care to the indigent, and religious/charitable provision of care (notice how many hospitals are named "Saint so-and-so").

Perhaps your generous self could start a fund out of your own pocket, and invite those who wish to help to also donate their wealth.

Rather than wanting the gov't to steal wealth from others who may not hold the same beliefs.

Sorry but Bitcoiners see through your good intentions to the bad ideas hidden beneath.

Bully’s & barbarism + combined with world wide wars + narrative warfare campaign to brainwash

99% of humans from rising & demanding the top 1% pay their fair share

Humans always human. 🫂🙏

you are going to disappear from political power though. people are sick of being robbed.

sorry commie but all taxes are theft
