so are you admitting income inequality exist?
Jim if your weren't such a republican cheerleader .. you might understand that many Americans would have loved to have their family member lives saved by these Treatments , but seems your ok with wealthy and powerful people enjoy benefits not available to the rest of us. Classic its all good till you or yours is fighting to stay alive from Covid and when you ask about Regeneron and they ask for your credit score . plz dont post about it here

Medical care based on your credit score
Is that the Republican health care plan?
income inequality has increased substantially over the past 50 years. ... The bottom 20 percent of families averaged $15,000 in annual income in 1966 compared with $16,100 in 2014, an increase of 7 percent. In 48yrs
Its easier to say people are lazy isnt it

this is because people used to go get a second job or work harder if they wanted more income...now they just sit around and whine about income inequality and expect the government to make things more fair for them...it's pretty sad

Parrot baloney
American Work-Life Balance
In 1960, only 20 percent of mothers worked. Today, 70 percent of American children live in households where all adults are employed.”. U.S. Department of Labor statistics back up this data, and notes that 75% of those women working full time. I don’t care who stays home and who works in terms of gender (work opportunity equality for all – it’s a family choice). Either way, when all adults are working (single or with a partner), that’s a huge hit to the American family and free-time in the American household.
The U.S. is the ONLY country in the Americas without a national paid parental leave benefit. The average is over 12 weeks of paid leave anywhere other than Europe and over 20 weeks in Europe.
Zero industrialized nations are without a mandatory option for new parents to take parental leave. That is, except for the United States.

You and Tweety both think that saying something makes it a fact, usable as evidence
