Hold it. From my comment, you think that I believe in freeloading? That
is an interesting assumption.

I will tell you what I believe. I believe that everyone is responsible for
themselves and their own. I believe that taxes are forcible thievery,
which then allows people to *be* freeloaders. It is a matter of taking
from many and giving to few.

I think that in this world we have today if you use anything (should I repeat the word "anything"?) that you don't make yourself you are relying on something paid for in common. That is paid for by taxes. Roads, seaports, airports, rail lines and who knows what else. Was the computer you are using right now designed by someone who was educated at a school that tax dollars went to? Do you drive a car or walk everywhere? I'll bet that someone who worked on designing that car at some point had a meeting with tax dollars.
This is not to say that tax dollars are not wasted, that pockets are not lined but there is a common benefit that comes out of the tax money.
Taxes are part of life, even a small (a very small) study of history shows that. I could go on but I suspect I'm wasting my time.
Enjoy your fantasy.
