I'm not understanding how you think this furthers your claim.I never claimed I am in favor of limited government authority, on your own property, you should be able to do what you want. But if a large group of people choose to give up a portion of their freedom to a small body of individuals, for the convenience of their services, then you can't be upset because they are going to force you to play by their rules when you want to use those services.
To give an example, let's pretend you own 100 acres of property, you farm and raise livestock there and you never leave those 100 acres because everything you want you produce there. You have also been given the option to elect to forego the services of the police and fire dept. Because you are self contained i
Believe you should be free from taxes and such, because the government has received no burden from you. Now you choose to open a store on these 100 acres, again you are self contained, the government has no right to tell you how that store is run, or maintained.
Now, you live on this 100 acres, self contained but now you want to sell some of your produce in town. So you walk into town to buy a truck, now you have to use public roads, to bring your truck back home and again to bring the produce to market. Then, I believe you are obligated to pay the taxes, follow the production standards and obey the laws of the govt for everything you are going to do outside your 100 acres.
" then you can't be upset because they are going to force you to play by their rules when you want to use those services." You are forced "to play by their rules" whether you use those "services" or not.
In every instance you proposed, the individual is forced to comply with government edict.
