Y'know, if health care in this country is a privilege and not a right, then why is protection from fires and protection from crime?
Oh, sure, I know you think about some silly reasoning about how everyone needs police protection, or for their home and neighborhood to be protected from fire and disaster, but who says so? Is there a constitutional right to a fire department?
Moreover, we all know that the government just loves to mire organizations in bureaucracy, red tape, and expenditures. Last time I had to call the police, it took them 8 months to respond. To be fair, I didn't fill out form 187-EZ properly (damned box 3A!) - but still, had I done so the right way, it would have still been 4 months.
Moreover, government FDs and PDs are totally socialist in design. Their mere existence renders impossible a potentially fruitful market for private corporations; surely, if we allowed Blackwater the opportunity to police your neighborhood, they'd do it faster and cheaper than your PD. Not to mention all the cool weapons they have - it'd be awesome to see them kick some ing bad-guy ass, instead of gain weight at the Krispy Kreme. No more fat lazy cops under privatization; the market would ensure that.
It's also welfare for poor people; I pay my taxes like a hardworking American; why do I have to subsidize police and fire care for poor people who already suck off the government teat, let alone actually make a contribution to our government's pocketbook? *I'm* footing the bill for them to sit on their duffs and reap the rewards of socialist wealth redistribution in the form of having their burning project 8 homes put out when they forget where their burning crack pipe was.
I can't stand it any more; this country has a hidden red menace that is taking our hardearned tax dollars, preventing the market from taking root and offering cheaper (after all, Blackwater guys are cheaper to hire than actual US soldiers, right? Right!) and more efficient service; more insidious than that is the equality of service FDs and PDs offer.
Now, we don't want this secret agenda exposed, do we, komrade? Well, tough, I say!
