It's not any crapy D.C. public p.s. 105 either.

Well, what concerns me is your use of the word 'free' here.
I mean, do you mean free as in without cost or do you mean free as in
absent of restriction on liberties. We have the latter with big
government but not the former, and I see nothing wrong with promoting a
greater good by paying taxes (within reason).
In the case of education, people receive free education in the sense
they are able to be there without being privledged.
In the case of defense, we receive enormous benefits by dumping all this
money into R&D. Think Jello and Raptors.
There are abuses, of course, but I don't see a compelling reason to
change the status quo.
Are you saying education should only be available to people who can pay
for their kids to be at a certain school? Are you saying we should get
rid of R&D in military research?
I believe my kid should receive an education regardless of whether or
not I can afford it. Is that so wrong?

Education was the subject at hand. Would you like me to rant about the
DoD
and it's "projects" or acquisitions processes? I can. Do you want to
hear
me rail against corporate subsidy, expansion of federal powers beyond
it's
authorized regulatory powers? I don't believe that most of our
government
should exist. I was only trying to stick to the topic at hand :)

Do you mind explaining this to me? Perhaps I am not getting it, but it
seems we do well to pay to have services in some cases regardless of
whether or not we use them.
Certainly you are not arguing the welfare system is corrupt, it
represents only a fraction of the federal budget every year and is
nowhere near as prone to failure as the hordes of corporate-giveaway
projects sponsored by the DOD each year.

It is not now FREELY available!!! Do you own property? Then you pay
for
it. Do you pay income tax, even now in England? If you do you pay for
it.
That's my point, none of this is free. Those with ability are paying
for
those without. At the barrel of a gun no less. Robbery on a federal
level.
I am forced to help live, those that would otherwise be dead. That in
some
cases have neither the will nor the ability to provide for their own
lives
and wellbeing.
