Ok. I'll be up front. I'm tired of people talking about being forced  to pay for a total stranger's healthcare or education when they are more than happy to pay to have a total stranger killed or destroyed in some other way.

Well because paying for a total strangers healthcare or education brings no discernible benefit to the person paying for them. On the other hand, paying to have your trash taken out does benefit the person, or to have someone who is a danger to society executed.

Please back up your fantasy claims with facts on this issue.

Laughably incorrect.

You can't figure out why having a well educatedvand healthy society is beneficial in general? Really?

It would be. However this almost never turns out to be the case. Also I would rather keep more of my own money and spend it on what I want, instead of what the state wants.

You as a Sovereign Individual (tm) can't pay for an ordered and peaceful society even if you want to.

Witty barbs aside, what I mean is I would rather save some additional money for myself, or spend it on a holiday or a car, than pay for the education, healthcare and benefits of slum-dwelling drug addicts.

There is no word that can express my feeling on reading this.

I have done the impossible............Silenced a left-winger.....

I wonder what it's like experiencing life as an actively awful person.

But I'm not. I give money to charities I want to give to. I don't want to spend money on the welfare of people in Brixton or Hackney, only for them to go out and riot. I love the way anyone who questions the effectiveness, or the popularity, of state redistribution of wealth, is evil.

I... I... I really hope you're about fourteen.

Sorry to disappoint you, but no. Why?
