No, in a free country you can decide wether you want those services or not. You think you're on on the side of 'free' but that is actually not the case. And thats not to mention numerous services that, using your logic, are forced on us by our government everyday. Maybe I dont want to pay for road construction, maybe I dont want to pay for military funding, but I am forced to do so and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
I see that this hypocrisy was already mentioned and you responded that with "the government protects, not provides."
I find it disheartening that you refuse to see the error in your logic. Not only can protect and provide be used simultaneously for the many services the government provides, but the government can also protect people by providing healthcare and education. I know I would like to be protected against cancer just as much as I want to be protected from Al Quieda. And what about services that have nothing to do with protection, such as the road system. Anybody with knowledge of economics knows that the government has to provide most of the road system since is it uneconomical for private companies to do so. Or I guess the government is protecting my low-rider from dirt roads that I would otherwise use...
