Much of the "free" stuff people agree on (at least to a degree). Most people want some kind of military, police, roads, basic education, fire protection.
But there's a lot of other ones people can't agree on. Free or reduced college? Healthcare? Using the military as a global distribution network? Birth control? Race horses?
Some people think nothing of giving tax money to operate a theme park, but some get up in arms over giving condoms to teenagers.
It's okay to give billionaires hundreds of millions in tax payer dollars to build them stadiums which will be used 10 times in the fall. Personal responsibility and all.
