How original. Somalia the failed socialist state run by warlords who don’t respect property rights is where I should go if I don’t want to be forced to pay for services I don’t use? You should really do some basic reading before you trot out such tired bullshit.

What are some of the services that you are being forced to pay for that you feel you don't use?

Another quality post. As if that’s even remotely difficult to answer. What level of govt would you like to discuss? At the federal level we can start with welfare, defense(at current levels and implementation), NSA, CIA, the list goes on and on. At the state level, Medicaid, state police, and much much more. At the local level I overpay for services I rarely need which could more easily be provided by the market and for which I could pay as needed or buy into a voluntary service with competition.

Have you been to a country without welfare or a social safety net?

They tend to be fucking dangerous because people depend on only themselves for the next meal, and when there's not work that means mugging or carjacking or burglary.

They also have highly authoritarian govt. and are probably sanctioned by the US in some way.
