Hmmmm, I think the socialist/capitalist labels (personally--US is more corporatism these days) only go so far. It does come down to freedom--go Mike! Freedom to do what you want (even if its dangerous to you) as long as it does not hurt others. I don't think its moral to force people to pay for others--and yes, thats done involuntarily through the tax system. Theft is wrong and taxation is theft. It is simple. If I don't pay taxes, eventually someone shows up with a gun and forces me to pay. Fairness and equality cannot be forced---as much as it makes people feel good about it.

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
