With all these references to straw men that go on around here, maybe they need their own homeland or something. Dude, you live in a democracy of sorts. Yeah, yeah a democratically elected representative republic or what ever.

The point is that many functions of the government are mandatory. Roads. Highways. Sewage. Military. Many more. Social responsibility is one of these. Get used to it. Where exactly are you going where there are lower taxes? The Cayman's? Seriously, if it wasn't for the regional protection of the U.S., these little tax-free Ayn Randian utopias wouldn't have a chance. These places are parasites on the Earth.

But you chose to put the two together in the same post, anyway. I'm quite well schooled in people throwing around Hitler when it's convenient for some cheesy rhetorical point they're making. I find it a bit distasteful.
