Charity is our choice. Taxes are the force of the government. Everything you want funded by others should be funded by charity. We shouldn't be forced to pay for each other's choices.
- Don't use roads or sidewalks or parks or eat food or buy anything that has to follow safety regulations then.
  And never sue anyone ever. Courts are expensive!
  
  The stuff the government does that he likes is the will of the people. The parts he is trained to think are bad are forced on him.
  
  No, it's all done by force if it's paid for by taxes, whether I like it or not. It's just whether I'd have chosen to contribute or paid a private business.
  
  Paying a business to do everything is how we got mining towns that paid their workers in company money that can only be used at company stores.
- Nobody chooses to get cancer. But everybody benefits from a society that lifts others up instead of kicks them when they're down. If you don't believe in helping other people then you're just a sad individual.
- Then why are my insurance premiums paying for other people's illnesses? Why don't I get to decide how and when my insurance pays out? It's my insurance paid with my money. Also, who keeps building all these roads and bridges with my tax money? I shouldn't be forced to pay for infrastructure I don't use just because someone chose to live somewhere else!
  
  Insurance is a protection racket made to benefit a small cadre. They just managed to sneak it in to law and make the government require it. And you're correct, you shouldn't be forced to pay for something you'll never use.
  
  So your plan is to let poor sick people die, the same plan as the insurance companies, interesting. And it's safe to assume you only use roads that you personally build and maintain, right?
- This is an acceptable thing to believe if you're a teenager or younger. Past that it's just embarrassing.
  
  It's what most MEGA supporters believe. Well, I say believe but that rather implies that they've thought about it, it's what they've been told to parrot.
  Which I suspect is what we're dealing with here.
- I don't deserve to die.
- The problem with being a sovereign citizen is that in order to tell everyone about it you have to use government funded infrastructure which rather dilutes your message. Not that it was particularly coherent to begin with.
