I wonder how many people who say we are not a Socialist country would be willing to pay a toll for every road they travel on or would be willing to give up being able to depend on a local fire department to rescue them and their homes if they catch fire, or give up public libraries and parks, or give up having a local police department or even a military to protect them.

Actually, the people who founded this country were Socialists, because they got themselves together and formed a government, and they even said that the government had certain responsibilities, like issuing money, waging war, and collecting taxes to pay for these things. These are all examples of Socialism.
