You keep digging deeper and deeperThe issue is "forced"Are you forced to belong to our society?
You can leave any time you wish
However, I predict the society you join will do even more for healthcare
Ahh.. yes.. Obey or leave. The essence of the authoritarian mindset.
Nobody is "forced" to be an American
But if you accept being an American, you accept the decisions of We the People
Is that so? So what if we the people decided to bring back slavery again? Well.......are you an American or not?
Interesting perspective
Are you in any way equating saving people's lives to slavery?
No, merely pointing out that just because the people want something doesn't mean that government is obliged to give us that something.
Maybe down the road, most people will want the government to give them an in-ground swimming pool. Is that the role of government because we the people want it? Maybe we will get so sick of supporting prisoners because they were selling illegal recreational narcotics, so we the people decide such activity should be penalized by death. Or maybe our death penalty is too easy and not enough satisfaction for the family of the victim, so we put people to death by tying them up and beating them with a bat.
Now it is wanting a swimming pool is the equivalent of wanting to live
