Quote:There are limitations. It's easy to replace trash companies, water companies, and phone companies.

 

You're missing the point. I'm not arguing about these companies. I want to know how you replace the military, police, firefighters, etc.? What happens when one of those contractors, violates your rights, and its discovered? Who will arrest them? Keep in mind, these contractors would likely outnumber the local police department. What happens when you sue the contracted firefighters that just watched your house burn because they didn't want to waste the water? Sue them? Who would make them pay? Your argument has holes that you haven't addressed.

 

Having said all this, I'm done talking to you about it. Feel free to reply but I have gone off topic too long now. 

 

I've never said you can't have military, police and firefighters, I've said in order to have fringe benefits post employment you have to accept it can only be done through socialist programs.

 

Maybe no one would join the military, police or fire departments without these benefits, maybe they would who knows. For the last time all I've said is you can't have those programs with out accepting social redistribution.

 

That seems to hit a nerve with a good number of people.
