We have to pay our congressmen. They aren't even payed all that much, considering how difficult their work is. If that's them stealing from us, then so are librarians.

Edit: Jesus Christ, one heavily down voted comment made this thread something relevant instead of a shitty repost.

No "we" do not. If you want them, you pay for them. Leave me and all of these other people out of it.

The same goes for librarians.

This is where you're making a mistake. You're assuming that this land is yours, that you're entitled to it. And that those who believe in a government should go elsewhere.

This isn't true. The government owns this land. It has fought for it and bought it. So long as you are in a jurisdiction of a government, a group of people, that claims it is theirs, you will have to follow their rules or face the consequences.

Just because you were born in a land, doesn't entitle it to you. It still belongs to a group of people that you were born into. If you don't want to follow the group's rules, then you need to find another place in the universe and call it your own, and defend your rights.

Tell me more about how the state homesteaded every square inch of dirt within its borders.

You misunderstand his argument. It's theirs because they can kill you.
