The nanny is YOUR straw man, not mine. Nothing in what I said has anything to do with telling you how to live your life. In fact, the things I am talking about make it POSSIBLE for capitalism to exist and for us to live our lives.
Social programs may not be obligatory but they can make us better off. You are benefitting from them even while complaining about them.
Dont you like having navigational aids? DOnt you like it that everyone is vaccinated against diseases that can kill you? Neither of those things is in the constitution. Dont you like it that there is a system of contract law invented and developed by the government? And no, it isnt in the Constitution, it is in the US Code. So it wasnt obligatory but it sure is a good thing for capitalism that we have it.
And as for nannies, the conservatives seem a lot more obsessed than the Dems with telling us who we can have sex with and how, not to mention who we can marry - And that next rape victim the Repubs want to force to carry her rapists' child? Tell HER your theories about a nanny government. It aint us Dems trying to control people's private lives like THAT.
You can call it morality. I call it control issues run amuck.
