Paying the bills

Quote:But... I don't. I agree we need a police force and roads. I believe I've expressed before that my views are that those who use the thing should pay for it.

So really, it's not the "By force" that's your problem with government.

Rather, it's that what's taken doesn't get spread around evenly.


Quote:As for the slippery slope... Let's look at France's socialism and its severe back lash, shall we? Great post on Soviet ideological warfare

Which is clearly a unique attribute of socialists.

Or rather, it's an attribute of the lazy, poor, uneducated bums to which they spent some time pandering to.
Quote:1st opening up the definition of marriage... and 2nd euthanasia. Now, I'm not taking a stand on either of these Netherlands socialist items, but using them to illustrate what I mean by a socialist slippery slope. We've hashed out out views on both topics in the past.
Somehow, I think you might find it difficult to link either one with socialism. You know. The economic system.

You might have a better chance at linking it with cultural changes and the vile slippery slope that civil rights brought about. :rolleyes:

Quote:Here is a local example from my State. We went along with the "ideological" Federal program labeled "State Children's Health Insurance Program". Which politician could ever be against health care for low income children? The reality is that in Minnesota, 87% of the participants in the program are adults. We have 5 State/Federal health insurance programs in Minnesota. The legislature is trying to pass legislation this session that would extend State low income health coverage to some households that make up to $100K in income.
Trying to pass legislature? You get crackpots every day, all over the world, 'trying' to pass legislature. Most of them fail.
