People over here think that the national and Public Health system is the invention of Communists and the Radical Leftists. In fact, if Libraries didn't exist - they'd be also considered the ultra-radical left idea.
Why stop there? You mean I pay taxes for upkeep of roads that are being used by people that don't? No way.
So just ANYONE can call the police and fire department and expect them to just show up and put out a fire? WITHOUT A BILL?!?!? Crazy to give such things away for free.
We've got this lovely idea that "I" should have everything, and "they" should have nothing "they" can't pay for. WTF kind of thinking is that?
I had a conversation with my ever more right leaning mother (working for an oil company has made her...different) about paying taxes for schools that honestly aren't good and are downright terrible in some parts of TX. She didn't think we should have to if we don't have kids. My response? "I don't want to live in a place with a bunch of dumbasses so I'll gladly let my tax money go to education." Apparently she hadn't thought of that.
I still can't peg where people like her get their information. She used to be TOTALLY different on these subjects. People must have much weaker minds than I thought they did.
