[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 2438199, member: 239"] Nope. But private enterprise could. You pay 'em they protect you. A community bans together and voluntarily collects a monthly fee. Choose not to pay and if the community is invaded you get booted out. Don't think this works. there are subscription fire departments, pay as you go trash pick up, subscription security services. Even mercenaries - imagine that! And while we're on the subject you mentioned the high cost of private schools. That cost is high because the theft of wealth from private and productive citizens creates an artificial low price - ZERO. it isn't zero of course because the Government had to steal money from us to pay the teachers, build the schools etc. Eliminate that and private enterprise proven over and over and over to be more efficient than government and thru competition will get the price down to what people can afford. Can't afford it? Charities will step in. they've been doing it for a very long time. Capitalism works. The USA had the strongest economy in the world while we had free enterprise and then FDR came along and started the socialist ball rolling and human nature being what it is the lazy now had a choice. Guess what choice they made. Hint - 47% of the US population is now on the dole. And guess who is feeding the bums? Productive responsible people. Margaret Thatcher said it best. Socialism works just fine right up to the point when you run out of OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY! We're getting real close to running out of other people's money. [/QUOTE]
