Unfortunately, you don't live on an island, and what you have in life wasn't created by you alone. You live in a society which has a set of laws and regulations that you've benefited by, even if it is intangible ones someons like you couldn't grasp.
You've benefited from the system, and you're required to pay back into it.
OR you could do that live on a ship in the middle of sea thing and read Atlas Shrugged all day. Hear that's a thing.
I didnt say no taxes, i said reduce taxes. I still pay into infrastructure, ems, property taxes pay for education, sanitation, etc. A percentage of my taxes. 20% - 1/5th of my earned income should be a high enough cover charge for my SSN. Maybe 25 if you can convince me it will work better on infrastructure and sciences; however, 30%+ on income, taxes on capital gains, or what people want to leave me? You may see that as fair deal, i see as state supported extortion.Thats why we both are free to vote for whomever we see fit.
Welfare makes up the dominate percentage of Federal Allotment, I don't use welfare, i shouldn't have to pay for it, or as much into it. If people want to support the have nots, it should come out of their pockets, altruistically and not by government force.
