[quote=briansd1]sdduuuude, I’m not ideologically rigid. I’m for what works.

BTW, if the government didn’t build and maintain highways, or provide infrastructure to distant areas, the suburbs would not exist.[/quote]

Because no private citizen could POSSIBLY figure out how to build a road from point A to point B. It’s just something that couldn’t possibly happen. It’s sooooooo complicated that it requires a government employee to figure it out. Without the government to take their tax money and build the road for them, they would sit there, looking across the county at each other wondering how in the hell could we possibly get from here to there. They would have to call each other on their non-government-built smart phones using a wireless mobile phone network – one of the most complicated engineering marvels in the world also created by a non-government entity – instead of driving to see each other because asphalt and concrete are just too complex.
