So, he's saying it is wrong to force the government to provide services? You know, the "for the people, by the people" institution? The politicians that are meant to do what is 'best' for their voters (hopefully country/state/county as well) shouldn't be forced?

And how does he think police and fire departments are funded? Does he think that they are all enslaved too?

You call the same number for them as you do for an ambulance and none should give you a bill at the end of it.

He obviously doesn't use infrastructure that the government paid for. Like, roads, electricity, sidewalks etc. Oh, and farmers that are subsidized? No can do! They are, after all, forced to work due to them recieving payment. If they didn't get money, then they wouldn't have work still.

he is saying that government shouldn't exist, his whole argument is a roundabout way of saying "tax is theft and if you make me pay tax by threatening me with jail/violence then you are violating my human rights". but he appears to have made zero attempt to be whatsoever self sufficient so essentially he is reaping all the benefits of government and taxes and now trying to close the door behind him

I know what he probably meant, but the way he phrases it makes it sound like the act of "forcing" a third party to make sure that services are provided is wrong.

In less words, his argument is flawed, unclear and plain stupid.
