[QUOTE="BobNOMAAMRooney:829289"]But it's not a free enterprise system, there are shitloads of government subsidies and tax breaks propping up sweetheart businesses. The Welfare Queen is a straw man relic from the '80s and you'd be better off directing your anger at lawmakers and corporate criminals than some imaginary Shiquita. Your argument assumes that every successful person is entirely responsible for their own success; but what if there were no roads to transport goods, there were no police/fire departments to safeguard those goods, there was no insurance to protect the loss of those goods or there were no taxpayer financed venues where you could practice athletics? Or what if all of those things were privately financed and you needed to pay a fee to access them, would you have the same objection to paying a higher fee if you used those services more than the average person that you have for paying higher taxes? Our government is deeply flawed, but at least there's the promise that if things get too fucked we can correct it through grass roots action. What makes you think privatization, especially in light of corporate America's ineptitude over the past decade and its willingness to recycle government bureaucrats in its boardrooms, would be any better?[/QUOTE]
