    So since your perception of how things are run by the government is negative, maybe we should privatize the postal service, public education, highways, fire, police, military?

    Ever heard the saying "jack of all trades, master or none" , the government needs to quit trying to be a jack of all trades and stick to what theyre good at.... which unfortunately... is very limited.

    private entities currently do a lot of things better than the government..... walmart doesnt have an aircraft carrier section though, so that's one thing we can leave to the government.

    So is the private market bound by the same axiom? Jack of all trades, master of none?

    Would you be interested in a private fire insurance system, pay a monthly premium as a renter or an owner to make sure your house is covered in case of a fire? What happens if your house gets hit by lightning though, and you didn't pay your premium, or you were too cash strapped to get one? Do you get left out in the cold?

    What are some of the factors that make you believe government services are poorly managed?

    Actually, that happened with a fire dept just a couple of years ago.

    Fire service would fall under the list of things where the government is providing a useful service.

    I'm happy taking the risk of "being left out in the cold" seeing as currently the only thing actually putting me at risk of being "left out in the cold" is the government's grip on my finances. The keywords are "what if you didnt pay your premium".... ok, so if i have home owners insurance and dont pay my premium... i might lose my house....

    If i dont pay uncle sam's premium, i go to prison.

    I'd prefer the cold.

    I love how you lefties are always like "oh you dont want government forced crappy healthcare???? well you must not want the fire department either ".... as if there is any relation

    You believe fire protection is a useful service provided by the government? Why? What do believe makes fire protection less "crappy" and less "forced" than other government services?

    well lets see..... if the fire department comes to my house, theyre going to try and save my property.....

    Current healthcare system has a hidden agenda of stripping people of their property.....


    just for starters.

    Your king wants to use healthcare as an avenue for collecting firearms. Something that is already happening.
