just curious about your stance on some things:
do you take advantage of public roadways, built with public funds (local, state and federal)?
do you use the Federal Postal system? At one time, I believe that was federally funded
I know you take advantage of the internet which, I believe, was created in part with federal funds.
do you, or have you, enrolled in Medicare.
do you, or have you, received Social Security benefits, myself, I received “survivor” benefits after my mom died when I was a kid and perhaps I might even get some in the future should the system not imploded.
did you take advantage of any public education? even private education gets some amount of local, state or federal funds, even if it is not being taxed.
The point I am trying to refer to (and no, it isn’t the one on my head), is that nowadays, “no man is an island”. If nothing else, I’ll bet you received the benefit of the defense of this country by its forces and law enforcement as well.
