A non-answer really. More of a talking point. Taxes are not taking any freedoms from ya.
Ask anyone that loves freedom and they will tell you that paying for something they have no interest to pay for and is not for them is taking their freedom to spend their money on what they want. The fact is facts look like talking points to the people not in the know.
So 80 years worth of Judges means nothing to you...got it.
80 years of progressive judges, yes, means nothing to me. They're either dead fools, or alive fools and either way they're fools.
There are numerous ways. By prevention of pregnancies (IE contraception, education etc etc) there are less children born. Less children means less that the government has to pay for kids that end up on welfare or the foster care system or on medicaid.
Sounds like you are proving my point.
By getting early screenings for various diseases, std's etc etc you can catch them early on which gives a higher chance of success in curing them...which saves money as the later you catch a disease, std etc etc the more it takes to cure it/manage it which means more money is spent on it. These two examples are just the major ways of saving YOU money.
How does it save me money if those programs are unconstitutional and if people should have to treat their own problems? What is actually happening is progressive ways to fix a problem has made the connections in society painful for all.
How do you have a strong society when half the population is either too sick to work or live in the streets? Who is an employer more likely to hire? The person in a home, or the person living on the streets? Is an employer more likely going to hire the healthy person...or the unhealthy person?
Why is half the population in the streets dieing and where can I go and see it?
Today's society is not like it was two hundred years ago ya know. People can't just go find an unoccupied piece of land and settle it and grow/hunt for thier food anymore. Hell, you can't even go hunting anymore without having to get a license to kill a SPECIFIC type of animal, and even then you are limited to (normally) just shooting ONE animal...not to mention having to wait X amount of days/weeks before you can even get that gun that you buy...assuming that they just don't deny you owning a gun.
Not sure of your point here, sorry. How does this get back to what I said?
No house is free to anyone. I've yet to see the government give away a house to anyone.
Australia gives people houses. It results in drug addicts getting homes, destroying them and then asking for another home. Look up public housing in Australia if you wish to find out more. Btw, free housing was in second new deal which FDR was pushing when he died, which was revoked by congress after his death and never went anywhere.
Free food? What you want people to starve to death? You want our country to be like 3rd world countries which has no welfare program and children literally are eating dirt just so that the hunger pangs will go away for a little while? Now I'll certainly agree with you that our current system is abused to hell and back...but moaning and crying about it as if we would be far better off without it period is just ignorance or of the type of greed that I would consider borderline criminal.
Do I want them to starve? I want to have a choice if I want to feed them. Get some perspective.
Free healthcare? Yeah...if you go to the emergency room and don't pay the bill I guess it is free. But what do you want? To just let people die?
I want a service to be treated like a service, not a right that the people that provide it are slaves to the people that need their service. If they need it they can pay for it or figure out a way to do so. That is all I'm saying on it.
Free transportation? I'm going to assume you're talking about buses for kids to go to school? In today's society it just makes sense considering it take both parents working to pay for thiers and thier childs needs. Not to mention not all parents have vehicles to take them to school.
I was more talking about trains and such, but yes buses for children works as well, but than I'm against public schooling so its kind of implied by that view.
Free education? What the hell is it that you think made this country strong? It was that free education that made it to where you are where you are today ya know.
No its not..
It is what made this country the super power that it is today. Every civilized country in the world today has free education. Compare these countries with those countries which has little to no government sponsored education...IE 3rd world countries.
Capitalism is what made us great, freedom is what made us great. It was what made society as far back as Greece and Rome great. What has destroyed society's since those time however is social programs and over reaching government like we have.
Typical avoidance tactic. Avoid answering the question by asking one of your own.
Do people save money for retirement the way that they should or are they dependent. It wasn't an avoidance tactic it is part of my entire point of the series of posts.
Taxes are not theft. It is those taxes which keeps this country not only running but also defended.....which means your rights are protected from those that WOULD take away your actual rights. It is those taxes which pays for those roads that you drive on. It is those taxes which pays policemen to protect you. It is those taxes which pays the firemen to put out the fire in your kitchen.
Fires should be left for the market and roads are not needed. Police however are best handled by the government. Taxes are good when handling things like national security but theft when handling personal interests of individual persons.
It is those taxes which keeps people off the streets, healthy and fed in order to keep them working...which keeps our society working.
You could do just as much yourself, just like I could. We don't need government to keep people off the streets.
Personally I could care less, sure it'd be nice...but I won't go begging for it. However I know of no government welfare type program which hands poor people a million dollars.
Not my point. People are angry because CEO's make millions of dollars or even billions and to the most part only because they aren't earning that much.
There has been class warfare for thousands of years. People being on welfare is not the cause of it.
The mindset is the problem. Welfare programs just strength that mindset in the people. That mindset is a cancer on society and as you have just said has been for thousands of years. Its about time we as species gets past it.
Actually his claim is a bit off. The actual amount is for every dollar spent on PP the government saves four. But in anycase mayhap you should think about it. Use your critical thinking skills here. But here's a hint...its already been answered in this post.
Why should I care?
Considering the thread is about FUNDING his reply to you was quite valid. Ya know...given the whole context of the thread and all.
Considering that most things people take like the morning after pill kill of pregnancy I would say you know my answer to if they actually fund for it or not.
