What are the other legitimate functions of government according to you?

I think they all pretty much boil down to protecting rights.

Fair enough but for me. It's 3 things. Law and order (which includes protecting rights), a welfare state (especially free healthcare and education) and conserving landmarks and the natural environment.

I know it's a bit off topic but i was just interested.  

i dont think those words mean what you think they mean. those are contridictory views. you cant support protecting property rights while simultaniously supporting a welfare state, which requires the confiscation and redistrubtion of somebodies property.

youre just full of contridictions and hypocracy today, arent you.

But you love welfare for corporations. So you contradict yourself. Socialism for corporations and the top is used way more then the bottom. So you must be against this, if not your the Hypocrate that contradicts himself, aren't you?

straw man argument. the F I do. i want the federal government to get out of bed with coporations, unions, what have you. i dont want the government proping up failed businesses, and picking winners and losers (rather poorly i might add). 

So you think that companies should pay  and build every road they use, Should you pay for the roads you use? answer to both questions is yes, both you do and the companies. furthermore roads are built by and paid for by the states (mostly), which the states are empowered to do

.the water that is delivered to their plant should all be paid by them, they pay their own water bills, do they not?

All the stop lights, the protection from cops and our military should also be paid for and if not. Protecting peoples, rights (to include property), is one of the few legitimate functions of the federal government., you are a socialist. So much for the socialist slayer, you don't even understand the word or go by what you preach.

nice try, thanks for playing spaceguy
