No, public parks are awesome. They should remain free.

>They are a loss leader aimed to make more money elsewhere.

You're starting to get it. We pay for public services with our taxes, and in exchange, we get free stuff back that benefits society.

>If people don't want to fund such things people in those programs should make or buy their own food ans housing.

Oh my fucking god. This is seriously the most asinine sentence I have ever read. Bar none. It's honestly difficult to respond to something like this. I'm at a loss for words.

I genuinely don't give a single fuck if you, or anyone else, don't want to fund food stamps. We absolutely should continue funding it. The entire point of those projects is that the recipients specifically CANNOT afford to do these things on their own. You're advocating for further oppression of the downtrodden; it's difficult to understand how one comes to this position.
