I know some places are more progressive in this regard. But from the U.S., I’d like to see every person entitled to:

  • shelter
  • food
  • healthcare
  • education and higher education

(As an aside, not sure “right” is the best term here, I think of these more as commitments that society would make because we have abundance. One advantage of the word “right” is that a person is justified in expecting it - it’s not welfare/ a benefit / a privilege)

    and would gladly pay more taxes to make public transportation free.

    So then donate that money to the government yourself and don’t force everyone else to be stuck with your crappy taxes

      It’s called social spending and it is part of being a society.

      Your ability to drive whenever and wherever you want is literally killing people and you don’t even care. That’s kinda gross.
