"Actually, the only way for freedom to work is to stop forcing people to pay for things they don't need and don't want."

I agree, that's why I'd rather have a percentage of my taxes go towards my healthcare, instead of funding the astronomically expensive military industrial complex, with it's unending War on Terror around the world, and the equally expensive, and equally ineffective War on Drugs.

We could easily have the best healthcare system in the world if only we the people could get our priorities straight, instead of blindly following those demagogues who preach fear and hatred. Unfortunately, about half of the population buys into the fear and hatred rhetoric with near religious conviction.

You want freedom? I do too. Freedom for me is not funding never ending warfare. I'd much rather fund the health and well being of my fellow countrymen.
