That IS the problem. You want a free ride. You take the stability, the legal system, the good roads, the good police and fire, the good health care, the large military, the reliable energy, the good phone system, all the benefits for granted. They cost money.
Tax money for many social programs is only questionably related to stability. The phone system, much of medical care spending, a good part of the legal system, some roads, and most energy costs are in the private sector, and the extent that some of these things are handled by the private sector could easily be increased. (For example the annual energy bills tend to be a bunch of subsidies and pork, and should be slashed, perhaps mostly or even completely eliminated). |
