“Don’t take this personally because I have no idea if it applies to you, but over the years I’ve had plenty of conversations here on FR with people who call themselves “conservative” and insist that they love “freedom” — while posting from a home that is worthless without all the taxpayer-funded utilities that serve it, while driving to work miles away on public roads, and while sending their kids to public schools that only exist because they can push the burden of educating those kids onto their neighbors.”
I didn’t address this paragraph in my first response. I’m not sure I completely understand it. I do drive on roads that I pay for, I pay a fair price for my utilities so I’m not sure about that one. My kids went to private schools because the education they would have gotten in a public school is exactly what I would have expected from a socialist education system that, by the way, I also paid for.
