[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 910563, member: 7966"] Good post and I like the thought put into your reply. It sounds like you don't really disagree with Ron but you are wary of what he will do. Roads and infrastructure - I have ridden over 7000 miles of tollways in the past 2 years and the tollways (typically run by private companies) were generally in much, much better shape than free government roads. Private companies will keep the roads in good, safe shape if they face fines or lawsuits due to negligence. Ron does not say he wants to get rid of the military but rather stick to the constitutional charge to protect the borders of our country and provide self-defense. I also don't think Ron has mentioned eliminating all taxes. Taxes levied for the true Constitutional responsibilities of the National government are not on the cut list. Ron is from Texas where they have the lowest state taxes but at the same time, the least state government provided services. Massachusetts on the other hand has some of the highest taxes and highest levels of government provided services. The migration of people into and out of these states along with the other states will help to create an equilibrium of what taxpayers want to pay for if the National government did not take from one state and give to another. And as Ron said, Elizabeth Warren is a Socialist, albeit a Democratic Socialist is a more apt title. [/QUOTE]
