politics, economics 

Okay, so here is what I fundamentally don't understand about right wing economics. Even from an entirely selfish perspective, even for the vast majority of the reasonably wealthy, having a safety net of social security and free healthcare and a real benefits system is far better than having it be slightly easier to become obscenely rich.

I am a pretty privileged person, all things considered, and I am pretty likely to end up relatively well off, but still anxiety over money and fear of the future controls me due to the knowledge that any number of random nonsense could occur that would financially fuck me for the rest of my life, and there is pretty much nothing I can do about it, except hope that the government happens to currently be left wing enough to help me.
