So, what are you proposing? That everything is funded from taxes, so that people who make less money could enjoy the same things as people who make a lot?
This is called communism, and has failed miserably (see Venezuela, Cuba, etc).
There is an acceptable level of sharing (healthcare, defense, police), but swimming pools? What about spas?
Equality is all about equality of opportunity, not equality of consumption.
- pyrale 10y agoPublic swimming pools can also be found in most european countries, and western europe is not exactly a collection of failed communist states. There is a nice ring to the ideology of freedom, but practicality beats purity, and when it comes to the social cost vs reward of public institutions, the cursor in the US is way off. If swimming pools are out of the question for you, free education and health care are an easier starting point.
