I respect your view but we come at this from two completely different angles. Me: There are few things government actually does well, so why should I trust them to do more? You: Government if properly funded (whatever that means) can and should provide much for the people.
*Chuckles* I think that fairly accurately sets out our stalls aye :P

In truth I wasn't trying to persuade you m'dear...but you raised the spectre of class war and I'm never going to be able to stay out of that now, am I?

Actually, I am quite proud of myself for sticking to basic ideas about how I feel a modern (post marxist and post laissez-faire) society can enrich the lives of its citizens and not going off on a massive tangential leap into a discussion about the nexus points of class and gender construction in matters of taxation and benefits...'cause that's where my head's at right now...
