    I can have empathy for people in different situations than me, but it’s not my responsibility to bail them out of their problems.

      I really don’t understand people who don’t want to contribute to an overall better society.

      I’m happy to pay more in taxes to have a healthier, better educated, and more stable society. It pays dividends.

      I’ll just assume your family is penniless, sent you to poorly funded K-12 schools, and kicked you out on your ass onto the street the day you turned 18 with no warning or support of any kind, and you still somehow got a degree without debt.

      Otherwise, you’d be a raging hippocrite born on third base crowing like you hit a triple! Clearly though that can’t be the case.

      I’m sorry your family did you like that though, that’s rough.

      You think you’re personally paying off other people’s student loans? Don’t bother answering you’re obviously just a troll.

      it’s not my responsibility to bail them out of their problems.

      Counter argument: Yes it is. As much as any responsibility exists at all, you have a responsibility to your fellow people.

      “Well it’s not my responsibility” leads to a shittier world. And since you apparently have a degree and no debt, you can spare the energy to be better.

      Or maybe just watch “The Good Place” again.

      What’s your opinion on bailing out Mega Corporations who didn’t responsibly save their money? Or is it ok to bail out Mega Corps but not ok to bail out your mechanic?
