That's true in your ideal world. We've shaped our government into something different though.

I am glad to pay for it with money. I'm not sure what freedoms I'm paying for anything with.

Yes that is true and no we have not shaped our government, the rogue govt agencies have created themselves with out consent of the people.

I am not glad to pay for it with my money, maybe you should pay more for it to make up for my end since you want it.

Oh bullshit. Majority elections across the board have put liberal after liberal in office who created the government programs we see today. When people stop electing liberals and government keeps growing, I'll believe you in saying that the government has created its own programs without the influence or consent of anyone else (either that, or I'll theorize that conservatives create just as many programs as liberals, while denying that they do so).

That's not how things work. You benefit from what we as a society have created, and as such, you have to pay in to the funding of that. If you don't want to pay, change society.

Well we do not have a government that works for the people anymore, we work for them.
We have a centeral bank called the federal reserve which by the way is part of the communist manifesto to controll the people and redistriute wealth.
We are moving toward a police state.
Protesting can be illegal even if it is peaceful

I fail to see how the government doesn't work for the people. There are a number of cases where I'd agree, but for the most part, the social programs that are run by the government do far more than volunteer and private charities do for what I would call "people".

I don't care if it's in the Communist Manifesto or not. The Communist Manifesto supports good education. Does that mean we should make sure that all education is bad, lest someone call us a Communist?

What that has to do with Socialism, I don't know. Our current Fearless Leader is far from being socialist.

Same as above.

I need to know why you can't even educate yourself on subjects you want to get pissed about enough to correctly categorize who causes what problems. Good try blaming everything on leftists and government, but for people who actually pay attention, it won't work.
