Mafoo is a conservative idealist who is very far removed from reality. It's not the first time I see him wanting to portray government-provided services as "slavery", which really cracks me up.

Ok, so if we were a country of 2 people. (you and me), and I made $10 and hour, and you made $20. A service we wanted for our country cost $2000 each (let's say health care).

If I "taxed" you $3000 for this service, and I was "taxed" $1000, I would have to work 100 hours to pay for it, and you would have to work 150 (50 of those so I could have health care).

How is forcing you to work 50 hours for my benefit not slavery?
