>>>Police and fire protection are not socialized<<<


I see. Collecting tax dollars for the purpose of protecting structures from burning down and for maintaining order in general is not socialism but collecting tax dollars for the purpose of saving lives and fixing broken citizens is. Same old story: Conservatives like socialism - a lot - as long as it's something that makes them feel more secure. Military.....the more the better. Police and fire rescue.....same thing. Social security .....gotta beef it up. Healthcare.......every man for himself.
