Taken from my conversion on Quora. His posts are excepted. My replies are not:
You used no infrastructure or tax money when you pulled yourself up from nothing? Where did you do this? An uninhabited island?
Didn't use any roads on your way to multiple jobs? Didn't go through intersections with traffic lights for your safety? Did you go and dig for your own oil and gas? Did you set the minimum safety requirements on your vehicle? Well, you probably built your own car since you did everything yourself, as you say, so the safety requirements were part of a job well done.
Good job!
All the best,
A socialist
This is what we're dealing with, folks.

(115,613 posts)They misspelled "gerbil," "advice," "our," "hedge," and can't seem to find the comma key on the keyboard. The education this nimrod claims to have paid for all by him/her self doesn't seem to be very good - maybe they should try to get their money back.
I got into an argument sort of like this with a co-worker some years ago. He claimed he didn't need any help from the government to get where he was; he did it all by himself. I asked him: Did you go to a public school? Did you go to a state university? Are you now getting veteran's benefits like military retirement and Tricare? Do you take the mortgage deduction on your taxes? And so forth. I never heard him gripe about "freeloading" poor people after that.

I'd be ashamed if I had to argue their position.
