"Did it ever occur to you or your rich friends that there is a reasonably priced premium in place for living in such a remarkably stable country as this one is?"

yeah we have to put up with morons like you. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it.

how many revolutions has the country experienced, how many civil wars, how many times has the economic system gone into total collapse, how many times has the president been assassinated, how many times was an administration forced to change due to a military coup

Ted, that doesn't count, that's all 'free' stuff. The government has nothing to do with it. It's all these manly, John Galt types running around that make this country what it is!

If you can't say something bad about the government please don't say anything at all.

I know plenty of wealthy people. None I can think of objects to paying for good government.

They object to waste, fraud and abuse. They object to the government interfering with their lives. They object to incompetence.
