Will, i've been reading your posts on this thread and they all convey the same theme....reliance and dependence upon government agencies and their people. This is completely opposite of what this country was supposed to be.
You ask about relying on police and fire forces. I say no. two reasons why.
1) I can protect myself and my family, provided i'm not being restricted and regulated out of the ability to do so by my supposedly 'out for my best interests' government.
2) No court has held these government agencies responsible or liable for failure to do said objective, so why on earth should I be forced to rely on them for protection and services?
public roadways, etc.) this is what every single vehicle property tax, vehicle registration, inspection stickers, etc. were supposed to provide. It doesn't, as is evident by the numerous proposals that come up every legislative year to afford government to increase revenue to provide these services. What is happening to continually keep the government from coming up short on providing said services adequately?
To also coin an argument that many government dependent people like to use, where is the right to medical care in the constitution? Not that this should matter, but I find it a convenient outlet for alot of people who can't logically explain the reasoning behind their policies other than this is what they 'think' it should be like. More likely, it's an issue of this person or that person determining that they can't handle their responsibilities on their own and feel that someone, anyone, everyone should bail them out of the problems they have caused themselves. I'm really sickened by the large group of people who are twisting the plain text of the constitution to redefine what it says and what it means to conform to their ideals of what kind of country they want to live in.
The many groups who are pushing to get unconstitutional programs like socialized medicine or universal healthcare are the same groups of people who existed back in the times of slavery and before. They are people who wish to subjugate an entire class of people in to being dependent upon a government body.....a government body that has been usurped by large corporate entities whose sole desire is to accumulate wealth by stepping on the backs of those below them. This is exactly what hillary clintons universal healthcare will do for the health insurance company, and I stress the word company. If anyone with intellectual honesty can see, why would the health insurance companies contribute billions to her campaigns, unless they had something to gain. Please don't think it would be out of the goodness of their hearts to keep a healthy america. If you do, then you might be the one that had gone to community college with an inept economics professer (that generalization was for you will).
The bottom line is that universal healthcare will ruin healthcare for most of the population. It will be handled like social security. When the government realizes that they can't afford it, they will cut benefits. They will continue to cut the minimum amount of benefits in order to NOT piss off the populace and to keep the health insurance industry profitable.
