This is a bad faith argument that isn't even logical, we get lots of things for "free" (paid for by taxes): * most roads * firefighting services * policing

This is a bad faith argument that isn't even logical, we get lots of things for "free" (paid for by taxes): * most roads * firefighting services * policing * public schools * libraries * parks * garbage collection (more varied) * national defense We can do the same for housing, food, and healthcare... there's no reason you can light your house on fire and get people coming out to risk their lives to save it for free... but if you trip and break your ankle that's 100% your responsibility. Especially in situations like food and healthcare, where massive federal subsidies are funneled into the pockets of middlemen who provide very little value, but have captured the market to funnel money into their own pockets.
