Reply #3: but it is insurance.

[mopinko]

and i was just using the homeowners thing as a hypthotical. in this case the government gets to say you have to buy in because if you don't, you end up dependant on the taxpayers.
this is the whole point that i am trying to make. it is insurance. it is not welfare. you can be happy or not. but it is what it is.
otherwise, you are not really entitled to it. you don't own it.
now you do. they can't just take it away, any more than state farm can take your checks and then stiff you when your house burns.
