Don't worry, you won't be asked to foot the bill. Now you don't
need to
worry about spending all that money on Christmas presents.

All taxpayers foot the bill, even though they don't get flooded.


Ah, understood. Why should I help foot the bill for extra police
security in our cities when I was firmly opposed to the Iraq war and to
the proposal to bomb Syria?


Why should I foot the bill for primary education when I don't have
children?

Because it's quite a bit cheaper to do that than to pay the much
higher cost of dealing with the dregs of country that dont bother
to send their kids to school when it isnt free and compulsory.

Well there you go. That's essentially the same answer to the question
"Why should I help foot the bill for extra police security in our cities
when I was firmly opposed to the Iraq war and to the proposal to bomb Syria"

Because its cheaper than dealing with syria and the like by recolonising
them and teaching them how to play nice?
