re: #550 swamprat
We really get to the crux of socialism vs conservatism here.
Put me down on the side of personal freedom vs group need.
Govs do stuff for us; they do not own us or our stuff.
Govs maintain our roads, pump money into our hospitals, inspect the food we buy and establishments we buy from… You need the government to earn that money you so strongly believe is entirely yours. So, yes, you do owe the government a debt.
