An admirable screech, but that's about all it is. I don't know if you just don't understand the meaning of words, or are oblivious to them. Bringing up roads, navigational aids and contract law though, have nothing to do with social programs. Which, is the point I raised.

Will I take Social Security when I'm of age (provided it's still extant)? Of course I will, I paid in to it, I'll take out of it. Though I had no choice but to pay in, they are not required to pay out. But I guess that's fair.

Can government make life easier? In some respects yes, but, the question is, is it worth the cost? Not just in dollars and cents, but in dignity and self-respect. There are no free lunches, someone, somewhere, somehow, pays for everything you "recieve" from the government. And with each new program, they need more and more from everybody else, to give away to others. Every dollar they take from you in taxes, is one less dollar that you have to take care of yourself with. Now you may think they know better how to take care of you than you do, but I don't.

As I said before, there are certain things that the government is supposed to do. I have no problem paying my fair share towards those things, but I certainly have a problem with them taking my money, to do things they have no Constitutional obligation to be doing.
