I stand and sing the national anthem at every ballgame I attend, I'm willing to contribute money to local veterans organizations, I absolutely love being an American. I also believe in everyone's rights as enshrined in the Constitution. I'm a Democrat because I believe in their policies more than the Republican policies at the present time. Maybe that will change as I grow older, but for now, I'd rather attempt to aid society as a whole by supporting the government's attempt to do so. I don't mind being a participant in this shared society.
I'm tired of the healthcare argument. Self-insuring is certainly a possibility for all, however, most people are not financially capable of doing so for large items like their homes or their health. With the cost of care so astronomical, it's impractical to do so. Any type of insurance purchased from a company by an individual is a form of socialism because you are buying into a larger pool that all contribute to protecting each other, essentially the definition of socialism.
