Americans tends to overlook the fact that all of us benefit a great deal from our government’s programs. Few of us spend any time at all asking ourselves where capitalism ends and socialism begins, or vice versa.
Snow removal is a small piece of what we refer to as infrastructure, which is a huge element of what we all receive from government. Outside of toll roads, our taxes pay for our local roads, highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, etc.
But, let’s not ignore police, fire fighting, criminal justice, national defense, public education, labor laws, auto and food safety standards, air traffic control, TSA, libraries, emergency medical care, environmental regulation, social security, Medicare, the National Archives, national parks, bank regulations and deposit insurance, copyright and patent laws, federal dams to provide electrical power, flood control, the Weather Service, the Federal Housing Authority, consulates and embassies, FEMA, veterans affairs, public water systems, monitoring of all international cargo, NASA, border protection, and the National Institutes of Health.

Doing What’s “Right” Is More Controversial than it Seems
Some of us are looking for a single, simple statement to encapsulate what is going so wrong in America today, and perhaps it relates to what Aristotle says at left here.
Even the MAGA folks think that what they’re doing is “right.” By this I mean white supremacy, mass deportation of immigrants (with or without due process), the rejection of science, and so forth.

Trump’s Agenda Is Even Far-Reaching Than People May Think
As Trump’s former lawyer Ty Cobb says at left, in addition to turning the United Stated into an autocratic regime, at the same time, Trump needs to alter history such that future generations don’t think he did anything wrong.
Yes, he has his hands full, but he’s assisted by hundreds of traitors in congress, and hundreds of millions of hateful morons in the U.S. electorate.
