"What are the services which should be publically operated and where a two-tier
system should be avoided? Roads, highways and bridges; education; healthcare;
utilities (electricity, gas, water, garbage, recycling); the military; police;
fire department; public transportation (busses and city transportation); air
and water transportation; government regulation; the court system.
It goes without saying that the fire department should be paid publically and
the wealthy should not be able to pay for better services. Yet it should be
pointed out that in certain rural communities, the fire department is paid by
the homeowners, and if you fail to pay, the fire department will let your house
burn down. You can see immediately what a poor idea this is. There are a raft
of services which we expect the government to provide, and we all pay for it
through general taxes. This is quite socialistic, and no one tries to have a
private service."
