Dave, your description about a person who believes military, court, education and infrastructure are not worth government funding while supporting subsidies for paranormal investigators is very accurate.

But Jared, doctors being paid that much money is a SYMPTOM of the problem, NOT THE CAUSE.

The main problem is that there aren't enough doctors in the economy. In result, there are a handful of people receiving large amounts of money from the masses (low supply of doctors, high demand of their services). The problem will be solved when more doctors enter the economy, there will be less of an incentive for doctors to enter the economy if their pay is cut from 600k to 200k as you suggest.

I usually believe in free choice, but I am more concerned about the employees. One bar worker dies a week in the UK from secondhand smoke.

I see the irony of being told to "wake up" by a person who considers military, court, education, infrastructure, and human services not worthwhile to fund, but is proposing a subsidy for paranormal investigators.

If our government is as inefficient as you claim it to be, then even a subsidy for paranormal investigators would end up in failure.

I truly hope that this is one elaborate joke, Jared.

I saw your comment which was in favor of this ludicrous proposal, as you are the first person to post in almost every topic, before I even posted, and I was expecting you to argue against me since you are a very active member on this website.

I hope you are not suggesting that subsidizing "ghostbusters" is superior to all other funding including defense, court system, and the government's constitutional duties.

Something should not be treated as it exists simply because we cannot prove that it does not. By that logic we can assume that a giant pink elephant rules the universe simply because it cannot be directly refuted.

Beyond this logical fallacy, you have provided no substantial empirical evidence.

Theology is a hobby. The government has no responsibility in funding hobbies and by separation of church and state, it constitutionally cannot, even if it wanted to.

And wasted tax dollars should not be redirected to other wasteful spending programs. They should be given back to the tax payers.

I clarified that the reason why this proposal is "stupid" is because it is unsolicited. My replies are only as relevant as yours are, Jared.

I still invite you to produce your argument on why the government should subsidize something which isn't wanted. And in addition to that, you have the burden to prove the existence of the paranormal.

I pay no concern in regards to what you think of me because this proposal is unsolicited.
