There was a posting a few months ago basically highlighting that nobody is allowed to simply opt out of government.

“No man is an island” they claim. No, not when bridges are continually built to me, nor my “island” robbed by taxes and laws I don’t want. As plainly as I did not ask to be born, I also signed no social contract with anyone, nor with any government. The only fair thing is to leave those alone who choose not to vote.

Whatever roads and schools I once used, I didn’t ask for them. I would like for the politicians to send me an itemized bill to settle things fairly, and then kindly bug off.
