Subsidized Water Outrage Hypocrisy

As you would have figured out if you read my entries, I am Against "Income Theft", otherwise known as Income Tax. As I deem it as turning us into Sacrificial Animals whose lives are spent to support others (sometimes called Subsidies).

Examples of this include...

Baby Bonus: A lump sum of money paid to people when they have a child. That money comes out of my pocket - and the pockets of many thousands of other people. If the parents are in such dire financial troubles they need the money, maybe they shouldn't be having a baby in the first place.

Child Care Rebates: Childcare centers receive Govt Funding to Help Cover the Cost of providing childcare. They have Convinced the govt that what the Parent pays is not enough. And the Only way to stay in business is with Govt Funding to cover the difference. And where does that Govt money come from? My pocket.

Free Health Care: The income of the doctors and nurses is paid for by the Govt. Treatments are given Free to any and all who desire such treatments. Who pays for the heath care needs of all those welfare people? The Govt, after stealing the money out of my pocket and calling it Tax.

And so on and so forth, the list is almost never ending - rent subsidies, farming subsidies, low income subsidies, subsidies to take on apprentices, etc. And the overwhelming majority of people agree with this system - either because they don't fully understand it, they understand and still agree with it, or they Benefit from it and don't want to lose their Benefit.

So it is funny when the very argument that could be used Against this entire system, is used by a supporter of the system when they feel it is Unfair and works against Them on a more Personal level.

For you see, there is a woman who lives in a Condo building. And the rules of such buildings with regards to water use are: there is one water meter and Everyone pays an Equal Share of the Water Usage Fee. But now with city wide water restrictions this woman is now complaining. Complaining that she, a low water user, has to Subsidize the High Water Use of her neighbors, and she doesn't like it.

She is Silent about her subsidizing the birthing and daycare of other people's children - after all, she also received such money. Is silent about subsidizing other people's health care - she is probably a big user of the system. But does not like to subsidize other people's water use. To which I say, TOUGH. You wanted a system like this, now accept it and deal with it. You cannot choose which parts of the system you want to take advantage of and which parts you do not want to fund. If you Want to Benefit from the theft of other people's incomes, then you must allow other people to benefit from the theft of your income. You cannot "have your cake and eat it to". You cannot Expect other people to be Sacrificed for you while you do not sacrifice yourself for them.

Funny how people change their tune when the Crap they Want Forced onto others is suddenly forced onto them too. Typical hypocrisy.

Is there a Solution to the above Subsidy mess?

Yes. It's very simple. And it existed Before Govts decided we had to Support the Unproductive Hordes. It's called User Pays. If you WANT to send a child to daycare, then You Pay The Lot. If you want a child, YOU wear the burden of it All, without taking My Money to support you. If You want to get medical treatment YOU Pay for it.

If a User Pays system is created, Insurance Companies will quickly jump at the chance to offer Insurance - child insurance, medical treatment insurance. Then the Shared Contributions which are distributed to those who met the Need Criteria, is done so on a Voluntary basis - how it should be - instead of the Enslaved basis our current system runs under.
