Political positions are all a matter of view. I know I have been labeled, as the following: Communist, Radical Liberal, Conservative, Fascist, Capitalist (where I come from, it is a category in itself), Extremely Conservative and also Radical Centrist.

Now, which one of all these am I? I dunno ... I have my ideas and stick to them.

As far as social security goes, I gladly pay my taxes to the goverment ... in return, they make sure that I don't have to go around with a gun to shoot anyone in my way, and that in my old age, I can at least have some standard of living. The taxes also guarantee that I can at least get admitted to a hospital if I am ill.

IMO, taxes are a way of keeping a big wall repaired, a big wall that keeps out chaos and bad things (such as particularly bloody revolutions and such).

As far as corruption goes, it is everywhere ... it can be dealt with. It is certainly better that in previous times.
