If you are against the thought of government collecting taxes; making laws creating schools; building roads etc; then you should not expect that there be a free society. Because without equal representation for every member of society there cannot be a free and equal society. Then only the best connected or wealthiest people from the right religous or business or ethnic groups will ever see any of the benefits of freedom. If your town favors only those of one group and there is no government or laws to protect the few who dont belong; well, thats it for them unlucky ones.
I worship only the rights enumerated in our constitution and Bill of Rights. Free and equal treatment under the law with no law made favoring any one particular group over any other group.
I pay my taxes thankfully for the right to be a part of this.
What does that mean? If the members of the society see a threat; they petition their government to try and stop it. If people see those hurt or dead from indiscriminate use of weapons by unreliable individuals; they petition the government to pass laws dictating where and when people can own and use those deadly weapons.
I like that. It protects my kids. Same with many of the other laws that are passed to protect the innocent. Like anti-smoking laws, children now dont have to breath the cancer from others cigarrettes.
Speeding; saves a lot of lives the people want that.
Rebels only think of themselves; their needs and their desires. The government must represent all the people, not just the selfish ones.
