Do you understand that this is not at all responsive to what he said? The mere fact that he likes the system he lives under is a rebuttal of your claim that it's a crappy system without virtues; if that were so, people who live under it wouldn't like it. The fact that you seem to think (without any first-hand knowledge, by the way) that YOU wouldn't like it doesn't answer this in any way.
I said nothing about virtues... except in the round about way to say if your 'virtue' calls you to pay more into a system of government, knock yourself out
Been in foreign countries... by business and by deployment.... I'll take the free society this is supposed to be over that crap any day
And I will fight til my dying breath, those like you who wish to turn this away from a free society into your bullshit socialist style' 'paradise'
How much time have you spent living in Europe? You do not know about freedom, just what has been shoved down your throat.
2 years in Germany... 6 months in Belgium
Not to mention 1 year in South Korea, 9 months in Hong Kong, 18 months in Australia
You are talking out your ass when it comes to freedom, not me... and I, unlike the likes of you, have had the background of fighting to secure it
Socialism is the antithesis of freedom, buddy boy
