I think where some see governmental control other s see governmental assistance.
People aren't good and evil, nor is the government. My daughter is currently serving in the US Coast Guard. Last summer she participated in 14 at sea rescues in the Gulf of Mexico. She's no longer at that station and is assigned to shore duty. But I like the fact that if I'm at sea in the US coastal waters and have a problem I know I can radio the Coast Guard and they'll do their damnedest to come help me. I like my tax dollars going to such efforts.
My parents are both on medicare. I like that they have health insurance they can afford. I think everyone should have such coverage.
That said there's a bevy of other uses of my tax dollars I'd prefer to see used differently then they are being currently.
