    Libertarian?! Good luck with that. You know what, go ahead. Vote for a third party, I just not sure how you’ll get to a polling station without using the public funded road system, oh well

          People will pay for what they want and I’m not under the assumption that we will ever have zero taxes for public needs. I believe we need to reel in Governmental power and eliminate a lot of the “government funded” programs.

            So you do want government, or do you want a system where every single road is tolled? How would this work? Do you want a tracker in your car that monitors how far you drive so you can be billed appropriately or toll boths every mile? Are you off the opinion that would somehow be more efficient?

              I think we should have a very limited Government with transparency and accountability of where our money goes. I think we should have a flat tax far less than what we’re are paying now.

                  People will pay for social supports if they feel inclined to do so. I also think that there would be less need for social supports if people could keep more of their own money. Restriction of education? Have you seen what is being “taught” in schools nowadays? Plus, the expense of higher education is inflated due to Governmental interference also. Public Services would be dictated by the people and what they want to support, rather than an inefficient Government run system.

                  The fiscal statement has a lot of “other” categories along with many things the Government shouldn’t be involved in anyway.

                    Social supports are there to help the person that can’t pay for it. Do you not understand that or do you really lack empathy that much?

                    Please clarify what you mean by “taught”. I’m genuinely interested to see if you have an real complaints.

                    47,884 individual spending breakdown I linked to (if you even bothered to download the file) and your response is there are some “other” classification in there and I don’t agree with that… If you are capable of any sell reflection take a good hard look at yourself. You really need to reassess your worldview.
