Look, none of the roads, schools, police today are “free”. WE are forced to pay for all of that through gov. taxation. With businesses taking over services we’ll be free to choose what schools we want and what services we want without paying a dime to the corrupt bureaucrats in Washington. I’m not saying we need to get rid of all government I’m just saying the gov. needs to go back to it’s proper role which is defending our private property NOT interfering with our lives and taking our money.

Please don’t misunderstand, I am all fro smaller, less intrusive government. But the topic is “are taxes legal” and necessary.

All I am saying is taxes are absolutely necessary but there should be severe restrictions on how big the bureaucracy can expand its reach.

So how does this privatization of our road ways work? Who determines what companies get what streets or gets to determine where new ones go? How many toll booths will I hit on I-10 from Mobile to Houston, because these companies have to make a profit.

What about competition, will there now be multiple I-10s from Mobile to Houston to choose from and I pick the smoothest or cheapest?

Or do we end taxation but keep the roads in government hands, but since we were “forced” to pay for that and don't have to anymore just hope I don't want to drive from Mobile to Houston in a few years since I-10 will have fallen into great disrepair.

What about the police we are “forced” to pay for. Privatize them and pay a fee for their services? Hope we can afford their protection. No chance of corruption there.

Conservatism, not crackpotism, will save this nation.
