Kansas wants to ban welfare recipients from seeing movies, going swimming on government’s dime

so, you are saying that there are no places on the earth right now that do not tax its citizens?

Not to my knowledge. Maybe Antarctica, but I doubt it.

so, you are disagreeing that the US govt tells you exactly what it expects of you? If a landlord says you own them 1000$, they will try to get that money from you, if you live on their land.... otherwise you could live on their land for free.

Once again, governments aren't landowners. Landowners provide a product in return for voluntary payments. The most a landowner can do is evict you. A landowner can't extract payments from you on threat of death.

I would look foolish in retrospect in which way? there were representative governments even before 0 ad. hell, even in places that had little taxation, they still had slavery.. because someone owned the lands.. your slavemaster was thorvald instead of the country.

There were very few representative governments in the world before the 18th century, and for a millennia monarchies reigned because people like you were willing to live under that yoke.

Remind me how Torvald stealing your crops in return for "protection" differs from a governmental system? It is government.

what is your reasonaiblity? that you want to live in a land and expect the benefits of that land without performing some service?

What do you mean by "the benefits of the land"? You mean access to water, air, and dirt? Or do you mean fire, police, ambulance, etc services? Because I want to pay for those, I just don't want to be obligated to get my services from a monopoly that demands I pay them (and no one else) on penalty of jail/death.
