You are not forced into either of those either. Sounds like YOU don't get it.
Do I choose to pay auto insurance? Do I choose to pay unemployment insurance? Social security? Did I choose to buy all those financial institutions bad debt during the bailout? Will I be able to choose whether to buy Obama care? These are all products that we are forced to purchase, products that those in power are profiting from, and we DON'T have a choice. Get it?
