No, you were making a dumb comment.
There are no taxes to enforce...

No, I was not. Why do you insist that everyone that does not share your political viewpoint, doesn't have a basic understanding of history. We are having an intellectual conversation, we are not being condescending pricks.

So who pays for the services? Your comments are currently going in a circle, so I'm going to respond to rockslide:
How this relates to Point 1 of your statement is that, no, guns are not necessary for us to own as citizens. What is important is that we protect our right to do so, because weapons are what will make government fear its people and therefore secure liberty. We don't need guns until our liberty is threatened, but it is a right to have them regardless.
But I don't want the guy next to me to have a quick and easy way to kill me. It is within my personal freedoms to fear for my life.
Looking at Point 2, if a service is necessary for a group of people, they for the most part are going to pay in some way to ensure its survival. If we needed fire to cook our food and we each had four logs to contribute to the fire, it doesn't matter if you don't want to give your logs because unless you give them to the fire, nobody gets to cook their food and we all eat raw food and become ill from it. Now you're thinking "ohoho, but what if I don't want to give you my logs?" If you don't want to give your logs over, then the fire will die and you will lose that privilege along with everyone else, and you will suffer along with everybody else, and now your logs are worthless to you because you can't eat wood.
Right, but what if there is a third person. He has gold.
That means that he doesn't get to eat because we were too loving selfish. But, what if each person donated half of their resources to the "pot" (Like in poker)
But, we need someone to fairly distribute these resources, so that we don't have selfish starfishs.
And that's a government. But, what if our single man is too selfish himself? So let's get a few more. Infact, let's ask the entire tribe who they would prefer. Now we have voting! But we need more than one person to choose how the resources are divided, right?
So you are the guy with gold. You are thankful that these people see rationality. (people on welfare)
But I am the guy with the fish, or the guy with the logs. I say we loving drown that greedy motherforgeter and toss his body in a ditch.
