Its completely disingenuous to compare our own situations to what they might look like in a country that takes care of their less fortunate. Basic healthcare, a basic education without crippling debt, and so on... my income is in the top 10% of people in the US (low 6 figures). Even someone making half what I make is still in the top 30% of earners. These conversations read like we somehow expect to provide those basic services to all citizens without making any changes to someone who makes more than 90% of the nation. That's an unreasonable starting point that makes entire conversation meaningless.
