What is your point? What is the point I am making, have you read what I wrote? Some people have in mind what they want to say, and barely glance at what they are actually responding to.
FOCUS!
What I am saying is that taxes, government spending - we pay, and some of us pay more than we use, others don't. But if you want to go the route of tallying up for every person what they spend and what they get back - that's not government, that's a store.
I ( I despair that I need to spell it out for you) , am saying that - let me use your example - yes, we MUST pay for handicapped children etc, and we also must provide health care for smokers, and children of addicts, BUT WE ALSO must provide emergency services to motorcyclists that are 17 times more likely than car occupants to get injured etc.
But we ALSO must provide services to extremely expensive activites like skydiving etc.
Once you start picking and choosing which activities you rescue, you are handing ENORMOUS power to government to control our lives.
Please, I beg you , wait 10 minutes, re-read what I wrote a few times, before you respond.
