Liquitur - If you look at socialized programs, they do yield cost benefits. They all pay way less per person than we do because the administrative, malpractice, and insurance costs virtually disappear.

Cynth - if you want to live in a city state, that's your call. We have federal issues here in the USA. We have state issues here in the USA. That's how it works here. When you pay taxes, you're paying for sidewalk that *gasp* someone else will walk on, and it may not even be in your community. I know it pains you greatly to pay for something someone else will use, but you do.
You open your pockets by being a citizen. You do, no one else. If you don't want to pay for things like sidewalks or police, then there are plenty of desert islands in international waters that you could inhabit.
