They all have to be paid for and the funds are raised by compulsion (taxes). "Socialists confuse 'society' with 'government.' Society is a blessing, and it is from society that public services arise without coercion. It is when we force our good intentions on those who do not share them and indeed live fine without them that socialism and society draw the battle lines. The lure of socialism is the lie that government can provide for us -- it can't and it doesn't. WE provide for ourselves AND our government." SaveOk2 Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
