I see floods all over the news. Why should sensible people like

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

was firmly opposed to the Iraq war and to the proposal to bomb Syria"

No that is a quite different question.

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

That isn't even possible let alone morally acceptable.

Morality costs money.

Not necessarily.

Usually does.

I dont buy that.

For example keeping people alive who are hardened criminals instead of the
death penalty.

That's not morality.

Not bombing Syria or invading Iraq actually saves a lot of money.

We need to stop it.

Not even possible.

Why is it not possible to stop morality?

Because some will always want to behave morally.

All we need is a decent government that ignores the dogooders.

That wouldnt stop moral behaviour.

Why are you a Ranger instead of a Rod?
