What else do I want? I want not having to subsidize someone else's lack of responsibility. I have better things to do with my money than the equivalent of tossing it down the toilet in paying for someone else's car crash.
Let's see: payment of mandatory insurance @ $500 per car for over 40 years. You can do the math. And what did I get for it in return? Did it protect me or make me any safer? The few accidents I've had were someone else's fault and I had to play hardball in negotiations with their insurance companies to extract a settlement from them and get paid for their negligence.
This obviously doesn't bother you. (It bothers no one who thinks that redistribution of wealth is a good idea.) If you think it's such a wonderful idea, you can pay my insurance premiums from now on.
Who pays? Who benefits?
