Below are three statements taken from actual political conversations. How would you reflect back to the speaker? Write your response.
“I hate the phrase "government dollars." It's taxpayer dollars. It's the money I earn and have to pay as taxes. When I hear people saying the government should pay for healthcare for everyone, even people who make bad choices about their health, I get riled up. Why should I have to pay for other people's bad decisions?”
“Climate change is not a political issue. It's a scientific issue. We need to get politics out of it and start educating people about the facts. They are right there.”
“These people on food stamps all have nice phones and probably cable TV. Why? Why do they deserve those luxuries? They aren’t even paying for their own food!”
