The whole concept of getting "Free Stuff" from our Government is flawed from the beginning. 1st. The Government has nothing that it doesn't take from someone else by force (taxes). 2nd. The Government never gives back more than it gets (through force from others) because of 'Overhead' (salaries, rent for facilities, desks, computers, etc.). 3rd. When the takers outnumber the givvers, the system fails. Now it is much deeper and more complex than that, but you get the point. Charity is the voluntary giving of aid and assistance by individuals or groups through the spirit of good will. Nothing the Government does is Charity since it is done by others through force (taxes) by people who are not paying for this 'goodness' personally. Consider how much good could be done with the $400 Billion we have to pay in interest on the national debt. Also consider that Medicare Fraud exceeds the amount of profit the insurance companies make on their medical policies.

Government is simply the Homeowners’ Association From Hell. If you don’t like the contract, feel free to get in your rowboat and leave.

As I have explained, nobody in the US has a clear title search. You may consider all taxes to be on real estate held in common, as the natural state of land, water, and air.

We apologize for a system which does not assign you a communal share of such resources at at 18, and also a social compact contract for YOU to sign. Libertarians seem to need to see one. But it was for your convenience. Think of is as being like the roomful of family law you put your name to when you sign a marriage license. You wanna copy?

I learned over the years that just because I thought it so, didn't mean that everyone should think it too. Your logic is not flawed, however, we live in a democracy, a place where two wolves and one sheep get to vote on what's for dinner. Do you have any ideas on how to help at least one wolf to think differently?

We need to get the Wolf to be aware of basic math. It is not possible to make something from nothing.

@Muleman How about morals and ethics?

@ScottforKing Government is not about morals and ethics. That's too bad but it's true. Government is about laws, and when our elected representatives (in a Republic, not a Democracy) fail to do what they have taken an OATH to do, they need to be turned out !

@Muleman However, they are all about education in one form or another.
