And what if I don’t want any of that? Or what if I’m willing to pay for is as I need it?

We homeschool our kids, I own forearms and I carry fire insurance. I pay road taxes when I buy gas.

As it is now, am I a free man? Thomas Jefferson wouldn’t think so.

If your house is on fire, would you tell the fire department not to respond? And if so, would the fire department be obligated to respond anyway because your burning house presents a threat to an adjacent property owner?

As for your first point . . . I look forward to the day when government services are financed on a pay-as-you-go basis. In the meantime, I find it a bit hypocritical for an elderly person to complain that she can't afford to "pay" after decades of benefitting from the system that she now finds unaffordable.
