Reply to comment by HPenguinB in When another detective asked Eckersley why she left the baby, she said, “What do they tell you when a plane goes down? Save yourself first,” the affidavit stated. After that, “Eckersley told (the) detective to ‘fuck herself’ and that she was done talking.” by Dependent_Season_669

Why do you assume social programs and taxes are the most effective way to address this?

Because obviously social programs and higher taxes have proven effective nationwide. I mean look at places like LA, SF, NY, and Baltimore. Most abundant social programs and highest tax rates and the results are glorious! I mean they’re like totally like utopias, with zero crimes and like zero poverty or homelessness. Like, are you like totally blind, or something? It’s like just science!

My questioning your implied assertion does not automatically mean I hold the opposite stance.

I'm simply questioning your assertion.

If you can't carry the burden of proof, you shouldn't make claims.

You were predictable, so I ignored you. I'll keep making claims, thanks.

Because we don't burn, stone or drown the mentally ill as much anymore as we used to do, though I'd keep an eye on Utah, Texas, Tennessee, Florida and a number of other red states if you're worried we're not doing enough of that sort of thing.

Why do you believe taxes and social services are what made the difference?
