I'd like to pay less for both. I like the idea in the "old days" when the family took care of their elderly and not the state.
I pay my taxes so I don't go to prison either. If I had it my way I'd cut defense and social program (social security, health, medicare) spending by half. Course, no politician who wants to get re-elected could ever do this.
