You make a huge illogical leap here. The world is full of "subsidizes." As soon as you pull out of your driveway you are "soaking the taxpayer for services they are not using" because most taxpayers will never drive on the road in front of your house. Your logic would not have that road. Or any road. Or much of anything elas. Actually using the word "subsidy" is inaccurate and misleading. This really is people acting collectively for the greater benefit of everyone. (Another word for this is "civilization.") We live in a world full of collective goods. Each taxpayer benefits from some and not from others. However, collectively we all benefit. Without civilization we would all be much less well off. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
