Well that's just libertarian tripe. You'll build roads, huh? And public schools? And you'll build a sewage system on your own, right? And if someone breaks into your house and sets it on fire, you don't need to have the police and fire dept come by, becuase you know best, right?

And that's what I call a nice straw man.

Read what I wrote in post #65.

Here it is again:

The government does have an important role. Keep the peace. Uphold the law. Defend the country. Wealth re-distribution is not one of its functions. That's communism. It's not the job of people in cubicle land to decide who has too much money.

Try not to move the goalposts, OK?

This discussion started around the subject of Christian duty, charity and the government's role therein. In other words, whether it is an individual or state repsonsibility to provide for the needy. Now it's all about crime, sewage systems and roads??

Keep on topic.
