Thanks Martian... I suspected you might have an interesting take on this issue.
Ultimately for me, when talking about this with more conservative types such as Cyn or Atredies, it comes down to bootstraps, choices and self motivation. I do understand that position but don't agree with it in all situations.
I like the idea of paying a little more in taxes for peace of mind. I also see pooling resources (i.e. taxes) for the benefit of the wider public as a good thing when it comes to things like health care. I like the idea that some of my taxes help to keep Martian alive.
