"If such collective actions are your main excuse for trying to control other folks’ related choices, maybe you should consider not supplying such things collectively..."

This. If only we could do this.

From a totally self centered point of view we seem to be doing everything right in order to get ahead. No children (by choice), double income, steady jobs, look after ourselves (health, exercise, no smoking/doping), live frugally, save (for retirement)...

And get taxed to death.

To support "the other". Yes some of the tax goes to actual governance, but there is no denying that larger and larger portions goes to "social spending".

If it weren't for excess taxes (the part in the budget that supports the other) we would be able to retire right now.

Now I get that one can argue, if not for state education masses will go uneducated and turn to crime (argument for expanding?). And this is where people turn to the options re: education/population you mention. No one is an island

I see that there is very little in it for people like myself to gain by expanding...?

What about the silent man?
