You believe within the Government, muckamuck, and that is fine, because that is your own choice.

I believe within the individual, and what each of us can accomplish without Governmental meddling.

Empathy and altruism come not from the Government, muckamuck, but from the individual.

I have no problem paying taxes to support the basic tenets of government.

I do have a problem paying taxes unto an entity that divides individuals into demographics so as to go beyond said basic tenets.

And why the use of 'we'?

Do you represent others, or does that word somehow give you strength or self-confidence?

Who, muckamuck, is 'we'?
