Don: "I have no problem with taxes going to pay for roads"
Jack; OK. Good. We have a starting point. We both agree that a Toll Booth every 15 miles is great for the Shareholder, but terrible for the average Commuter.
Don: "Of course, now you think you have the ultimate "gotcha" because according to you leftists, if we agree to "public" roads, it only stands to reason that I should support "socialized" medicine and a living wage and free college because you will twist yourself in knots trying to explain to me how I will benefit from all of this "communal" effort."
Jack; Calm down, Don. You jump from a social need of 'public roads' to why you are against the nationalization of the Energy Sector. Try not to go ballistic here.
Don: "The thing is it has no material effect on me if you have medical insurance and die of a heart attack absent the federal government demanding that no ER can turn you away thus cost shifting your burden. If you were truly financially responsible for your own care then you would either get insurance or die. Neither is of consequence to me."
Jack: Thank you for your confession that you care not for your Brother Human Being.
Don: "Now this is where you move on to the police and fire departments because you know if the gobblement didn't step in, we would have private police forces and private fire companies. More false choices by another left wing false wizard."
Jack: No. Actually I was going to bring up 'Central Planning' and the building of the Hoover Dam and/or the Panama Canal.
Don: "I have seen all of these bullshit arguments before. You are not the first. I have swatted them down in the past and I will continue to do so. Next time try not to argue using false choices. You might fare better"
Jack: That's swell, Don. I was trying to take issue by issue and point out that 'Central Planning' by Society is a good thing for America. The CONCEPT of 'communal action' (action by the entire society) on various topics is good for everyone.
At least we agree that the National Interstate System is a good idea ... even though it was copied from Hitler's Autobahns.
"The Reichsautobahn system was the beginning of the German autobahns under the Third Reich. There had been previous plans for controlled-access highways in Germany under the Weimar Republic, and two had been constructed, but work had yet to start on long-distance highways. After previously opposing plans for a highway network, the Nazis embraced them after coming to power and presented the project as Hitler's own idea."
