    You don’t want health care, social security or education?

    Not to the extent that I would be paying in taxes under a socialized system, no.

    You think that right now your taxes are only paying for things you want?

    Lack of perfection is not an excuse for not pursuing improvement.

      Implying you would rather pay an extra 30k for a surgery.

      There’s no “extent”. You get the same or better services(France is ranked 7th in healthcare, US is 30th worldwide), but far cheaper.

      Lack of perfection blah blah…

      Thank you, this is my point: Other countries are doing healthcare and education better than the US, cheaper for everyone, with less bureaucracy and better results.

        Absolutely, considering the absolutely gargantuan savings over time.

        It’s hardly cheaper, unless you’re the type to just pretend taxes don’t count
