or why even bother educating the lower classes, their parents should just get better jobs and send them to private schools. and for that matter, why does MY tax money go to protect poor people? they should just protect themselves and i would have more police in better neighborhoods.
with that logic jack, where would you draw the line? what equate to what a necessary that a civilized developed government should provide to its tax paying citizens and what is s sucking welfare? do you believe in food stamps or should people just starve in our streets?
personally i think that there is very little the government should be involved in, but when it comes to life or death matters it does owe its people basic infrastructure, safety, heath, education.
