An SSAN is required only for DIRECT payment of benefits.

The roads are provided for by gasoline taxes, and I pay those, thank you very much. You may be interested to know that the Ohio Turnpike is totally funded by its tolls and receives no funds.

Public accomodations are not paid for by income taxes,
they are paid for at point of purchase as are all excises.

Wow! I can't tell you what an eye-opener this thread has been for me. I have been daily reading Free Republic for a couple of years now, and have seen many of the responders to this thread post many eloquent defenses of personal liberty and the virtues of limited government.

I come on to this thread ('cause its boring Friday afternoons and I've read all the others), and by the end of this, I think Free Republic has shorted-out with Democratic Underground!

I am impressed by the knowledge and beliefs you have presented here. I actually applaud your desire not to be numbered by the government, and am flabergasted by the general response it seems to receive, here.

The idea that we are all in MORTAL DANGER by your wife driving as she was, which has been echoed here by so many, I find completely laughable. I suspect the normal driving of motorcycles is more dangerous, and in any event, I expect that as long as no laws were broken, it is none of my buisness.

I hope this thread is archived, as it has been so enlightening for me. So many on Free Republic have decried the attrocity which occurred at Waco, Texas, and I hope you are not offended when I say that in reading your replies, my first thought was that you are just such a type of person as our government so ruthlessly murdered on that day. They collected guns, and I guess everyone thought that was strange enough that they should die. You seem to be getting a similar response, here.

Stay safe, and God bless you.
