   Still, if we do find ourselves without a job, we'll be ok that way -   
   indefinitely.   
   You won't.   
   We also get top notch medical care, no matter who we are and regardless of   
   money.   
   You don't.   
   We have certain standards pertaining to the safety of industries, and their   
   environmental impact.   
   You don't, or at least you're not enforcing the ones you do have very well.   
   As a result, your countryside is littered with juicy tanks of dangerous   
   chemicals, merrily rusting away and just waiting for a psycho or terrorist   
   to blow them up. Taxes could fund the securing and the cleanup.   
   We have one of the lowest crime rates in the world, because nobody has to   
   live in abject poverty.   
   You don't, and as an ill-conceived remedy for that, everyone is entitled to   
   own a firearm. Yeah! That'll stop crime! Err... maybe not... but they sure   
   are neat anyhow!   
      
   If you had a higher tax rate, you might have had better schooling, too, and   
   I wouldn't be able to correct your inadequate grasp of grammar as I will now   
   do:   
      
   Are = (verb) Second person singular and plural and first and third person   
   plural present indicative of "be".   
   Like this: To be, I am, you are, he/she/it is, you are, we are, they are.   
      
   Our = (adjective) The possessive form of "we". Used as a modifier before a   
   noun.   
   Like this: Our school, our grammar (or lack thereof).   
      
   Your = (adjective) The possessive form of "you". Used as a modifier before a   
   noun.   
   Like this: Your house, your ignorance, your vacuous cranial cavity.   
      
   You're = Contraction of "You are".   
   Like this: You're a rightwing nutjob.
