...what is the difference between 10 maffia thugs putting you in a cage unless you pay them, or 10 000 state-paid thugs doing the same (but carrying a police uniform or the robe of a judge instead of a leather jacket)...
None. That's why I'm going to come & live at your house, and won't pay you rent. Because there's no difference between charging rent and mafia thuggery either.
Please remodel & hire some good help before I move in--I wouldn't want to put up with substandard services.
You renting my house is a mutually free agreement. We both agree on that, or not. I didn't say I didn't want to pay for state (or other) services. I only want to be able to choose them. My house is mine. If you want to live there, and I agree that you live there, then we make a deal, and part of the deal is that you pay some rent.
When did France agree to you living there without paying taxes? I hope you saved the contract, because France tells me she didn't.
Living in a country is a package deal. Like renting a hotel room--you get charged for the pillow mints you didn't eat & the bed you haven't slept in.
The point is that "the country" is not the ownership of a state. If it is, then I'm the state in my house and my garden, and when I'm at home, the state around me has nothing to do with me, because I'm then the owner of my house, and not the state, and my front door is a state border.
Not sure what the law in France is, but here in US the state doesn't "end" at my doorstep. Owning a piece of real estate in US makes it "yours" in the same sense that owning an apartment in an apartment complex makes it yours. It grants you some rights, but far from all.
You aren't allowed to breed cattle in your "own" apartment, for instance, and you need to pay building maintenance costs. Not optional.
Similarly, when you buy a piece of land in US, it's only "yours" as long as you pay your taxes, follow building & zoning codes, and comply with a bevy of other shit.
Oh, and if the jackbooted thugs ever need "your" land back, they can seize it via
eminent domain. Ownership is not quite as binary as you think it to be
... I work with state money. The more I waste, the more I spend, the better things go for me and my people. ...
Stop wasting your government's money, or, as a minimum, stop bragging about it. It's unscrupulous people such as yourself who drive up the taxes.
Stop being the problem and become the solution.
...The state doesn't own the country. The state should ideally (haha) be a servant to the country. In reality, the state is a huge parasite of the country. The country doesn't get any better with all the wasting of tax money. The state does. That is, the state and his brother in law.
You certainly don't think *you* own the country, do you? What is it you feel that you have done that made you deserve it?
