Do you sleep with a gun in your bed? No, because we have police, managed by the govt.
Do you drive around with an armored car, which many middle class people in Brazil do? No, because we have police, managed by the govt.
Do you drive on dirt roads for everyday normal driving? No, because we have Caltran, managed by the govt.
Do you worry about your country being invaded and conquered by foreign army, like Iraqis before US conquered it? (Never mind the consequences). No, because we have the armed forces, managed by the govt.
Operations by govt have their issues, no doubt. But current health insurance/care is far worse than what govt can do.[/quote]
Lets be clear, I have no issue with government run certain things. I just don’t expect great services for the money. Don’t even get me started about Caltran. They’re almost just as bad as the DMV. I love and respect our military. Like I said, government has its role/place. I’m not for total anarchy here.
