Z, > It's not "just because smug asshole liberals say they should." It's because our society ...
Yes yes, I realize that "we're a f--kin' society and we're all in this together."
Here's the deal. If you want conservatives to respect your opinion, you really ought to respect the conservative opinion as well. Steve has a good point, but you are trying to catch him on some "voluntary vs. involuntary" nuance, then accuse him of being a "smug asshole."
Please, I've seen these straw men arguments used over and over again by Great Society liberals. OF COURSE no one is for anarchy. OF COURSE public services like transportation, schools, health care, law enforcement, and even military (which you of course left out) is good for the common welfare of the republic.
But it's really chickens--t of you to say we need more, more, more, financed on the backs of those you think can afford it the most. There is a cost to everything. Try counting the cost first before asking anyone else to donate a cent more. Even if that person can afford it. Otherwise, you'll just end up being a freeloader.
