Yes, taxes, yes. But not saying, You make 200 Million? That's too much. Hand over half, so we can spread it, while you're at it grow food too, an give half of it away.
It is my belief mentally retarded people should be care for, but not with my tax money, why should I and others pay for broken people? They shouldn't be allowed to reproduce or go to school, or even get a job. Depending on the severity. I see kids at school all the time deformed, completely brain dead, some can't even talk except for occasional sounds/laughs. I look at them and think, how could something like that happen? That's terrible, and I hope they are cared for until they die. But at the same time, I'm just min blown as to why they would bring in a child that can't speak, and can barely listen to any instructions whatsoever to school. Most of those kids, even the ones that aren't really bad, but aren't good either, just color. Maybe throw a ball around if they have Physical Education. I wonder why my taxes must pay for him to sit at school and color all day. It's wrong.
Also, if I can work as a janitor and make the same money as a doctor why would anyone bother to be a surgeon, a doctor, a lawyer, a programmer, or anything else unless of course they really wanted to? I'd do programming as a hobby, but you can bet I'd be a janitor and making that bank too.
Taxes should be low by the way, much more than they are now.
We have the right to life, the police/myself will protect it. Security? Well, go buy a home system, and the government will have it's army and a good defense, though not overblown as it is now. Education is not a government matter. And Health Care is not a government matter. That's not to say they shouldn't be provided, but the government should definitely not be the providers.
A lot of the important figures in our country back then did own slaves, most treated them good. Times change you know? Look at Homosexuality, it's now accepted mostly by younger people, but by country people a lot, and older people, they are mortified at the fact of homosexuality. Eventually they'll die out and we won't have the gays are evil crap anymore. Also consider slavery was on it's way to being abolished too, at different times, though congress never agreed, the religious, likely, homophobic, superstitious people would say stuff like you can't declare equal what god created unequal. So modern day republicans... Oh sorry, didn't mean to let that slip out.
And I agree, a lot of things were bad back then, but then again, you had to worry about criminals, and foreign invaders, and at one point, each other. But nowadays, you have to fear your own government. Everything I'm typing now the government can see, every text, message, video call, phone call, it's all there for them, they could pin-point my location and view every object and person in my home from their computers right now. That is too much power, why you don't agree is beyond me. Getting involved in any conflict that hasn't posed any threat to you, is wrong. Sending assault rifles into mexico giving them to the drug cartels is wrong, giving missiles to al quade/Taliban is wrong! Taking away freedoms to protect you is wrong.
