No one really deserves anything, except honesty and corrections of failures in markets.

No one deserves anything except taxes and more taxes, even when you die more final tax, the ceremonial passing of inheritance tax torch to the next degeneration of taxation

But no, do go on and tell us why Americans don't deserve the functioning services provided by developed countries.
"Deserve" is a hell of a word.

Yeah, democrats just dont give a shit about working class people.  They are all concerned about things rich people want like a higher minimum wage, paid parental leave, expanding medicaid, health insurance subsidies and the earned income tax credit.

Democratic policymakers ≠ Democratic activists.

I see a lot of activists and regular people behaving in exactly the manner Eagleon describes when politics comes up, but it's been a while since I sat down for a chat with Harry Reid to discuss the finer points of the Democratic tax plan. I'm not saying that the Republican party doesn't have image problems, mind you, but those attitudes are very real, and people who say things like that are the face of the Democratic party for a very large number of people.

Maybe another four or eight years. Maybe we can hope that Hillary decides not to run again; we've had one-term Presidents before... And then Liz can take her rightful place as our queen....

Queen Liz Cheney, you heard it here first.

Nah, that obviously meant Queen Elizabeth II, regina aeterna, Tyrant of Europe, Empress of India and the Asias, President of these United States, ruler of all she surveys.  We'll pass a special constitutional amendment at the point of British bayonet after they sack the White House again.

Nah, that obviously meant Caliph Elizabeth II, regina aeterna, Caesar of Europe, Empress of Tescos and South Asia, President of those provinces, ruler of all she visits.  We'll pass a special executive order at the ascension of Minister Charles after he frees himself from the shackles of time again.

To be fair, that shit happens all over western universities, not just the States.

That video is hilarious though, 5/7
