"Well then HQ, apparently you do not wish to contribute to our society in any way."

There's so much wrong with this statement: let me count (some of) the ways...

1-I'm hard-pressed how you arrived at this above conclusion...care to explain your reasoning?

2-In the context of 'mandatory', 'law', and 'single payer', there is no such animal as 'contribute' (normally a voluntary event), there is only 'take'.

3-What is 'society'? Define it.

4-If a body pays for the services and products he or she needs and wants directly (instead of shuffling cap in hand to big daddy government) is this not 'contributing'?

"How are all those thing going to exist without contributions?"

Again with 'contributions'.

Each of these -- public transportation, public beaches, libraries, parks, etc. -- is a separate item on the list...some (because of the way municipal, regional, state, national, living is currently organized) require some communal funding, while others don't.

If you wanna dicker about what should be funded by 'all', start a new thread (or revitalize an old one if such already exists).
