Now you're just engaging in personal attacks. "Taxation is theft" libertarian dead-ender thinking. You're going to have to do the work yourself of understanding that there is a cost to maintain the system that enables your exchange and varying opinions as to who should pay that cost. Asserting that the cost doesn't exist is fanciful ignorance.

Good day.
