I don't know if you like arguing for the sake of arguing, or just like to stir things up by twisting around the words of others.

Or both.

As a collective nation, it is pretty much agreed that we need things like basic fire, police, road, schools, (and cultural things like museums and libraries to a lesser extent)

I dislike seeing billions and trillions wasted on corporate profiteering in useless wars, and corporate profiteering based on influence peddling by lobbyists, far worse than seeing people getting social security benefits, which most have paid into for years, with their paycheck deductions, and for their old age.

What about some poor schmuck that was on a ladder, painting a house, and fell off and fell two stories down and landed on some paint cans, and became a paraplegic? Fine for you to just throw him into some ditch and die, because you say he should of watched what he was doing?

You seem fine with laissez faire captialism. And social darwinism. Let 6 yeatr old children work for 6 cents a day to work in coal mines with no safety regulations?

If it is so bad, how come you don't move away into the country, build your own roads and maintain them, staff and create your own police and fire department, "home school" your babies, take care of your medical issues, and figure out some way to reside in the USA without paying taxes of any kind.
