I'll make it clear for you: The government is already stealing over 70% of my stuff in day to day life, if you count income tax, property, consumption (sales) tax, and taxes on taxes.

While they make it more organized with a paper trail, it still doesn't make it anything less than theft.

You can already pay plenty to have a private security firm defend you.

In addition to the lip service I get from a government, effectively making me pay for it twice, once from a service I didn't ask for or want, and then once again through the service of my choosing.

The thing is you ultra-libertarians suffer exactly the same flaws as really staunch communists. Both of you believe that people are better than they are.

Oh no, I believe in the worst in people, which we already have. I will be more rich than I am now to pay the thugs of my choosing instead of the thugs that you and others would choose for me.
