In the not-too-distant future, Cruz envisioned, “we’re going to be able to go to parents and say, ‘Hey, you know that Trump Account your kid has? … Wouldn’t you like to be able to keep a portion of your tax payments that you’re paying already and, instead of sending it to Uncle Sam, wouldn’t you like to have a Trump Account just like your kid does?’'’
“My prediction is, within five years, that is going to have a really compelling constituency,” the Texas Republican added.___
It’s more like insurance. Some people won’t need it much, others will. It can be beneficial to those.
But the real thing you are ‘buying’ is peace of mind. That is part of the value of it.
You’re also supposed to value the fact that you are contributing to the overall health and prosperity of your fellow Americans.
Lol imagine that.
Well yeah, a stronger society for everyone is better for society as a whole.
In America people view life as a competition, trying to get ahead of the rest. With that mindset it makes sense to not want any programs to help others.
I and many of us in Europe believe more in a stronger society as a whole benefiting everyone. Those who have a good job are lucky. By helping those who don’t have work, can’t work or are sick we make society a better place for everyone to live in. It’s not a surprise we have much less violent crime, more volunteering etc.
