We pay for roads when we buy gasoline. That would happen with or without "government." And there are people who use roads who don't buy gasoline, yet they are not prohibited from doing so. >And if > your house is burning down you be sure to not call the socialist fire > department. a) the fire departments are both tax-funded, and volunteer. There's no reason they couldn't all be volunteer, or even be finance by insurance companies. This brings us to b) if your house is burning down, you're going to want to call the insurance company anyway. If the fire department doesn't put the fire out in time you will need a whole new house. I would rather have a new house than a half burnt/ half new one. >Or the police if someone breaks into your home. The police have no obligation to protect you from burglars (or anyone else); the courts have ruled that way so you can't sue them for non- protection. Also, 911 is not the "Bad Guy Disable" code; if you're being burglarized, a gun is a far more effective deterrent than a telephone. The police are more likely to rob you than any other random burglar (at least, in America). They get paid every month with tax money. >Make > sure your electricy doesn't come from any government owned dams for > power plants. I buy my electricity from the power company. Where they get it is none of my business. Without an overbearing socialist bureaucracy, the power company would continue to find ways to provide electricity - ways that would likewise be none of my business. --Jackney Sneeb

Who's going to check to make sure > you're Chinese? ;) The law provides a $100 fine for false information; it's $1,000 if you try to induce someone else [e.g., the census worker] to fib. --Jackney Sneeb

Not nearly the full cost. Roads are heavily subsidized with general tax revenues. > That would happen with or without "government." No it would not. Government is what has the roads built and maintained. HTH. |
