Do you really think your tax dollars are contributing your fair share towards the cost of healthcare via socialized medicine?
This is the problem with economies, being as everyone sees a way they should be getting something on the cheap - despite the reality that EVERYTHING costs.
It's like this discussion I was having with a chap a while back, because he thought the dirt road he lived on (chose to live on) should be paved - because he paid taxes. I asked him who should pay for the paving, and he thought the city or the government should - like for the paving of any other roadway through town.
And I couldn't get him to wrap his head around the idea that if every road, that had one or two people living on it (like his own), was paved that the treasury would be broke in a matter of months.
Everybody wants everything, but nobody pays enough in taxes for everything to be done to their own personal liking.....
Damn I despise discussing politics.
