5 Reasons You Can’t Just “Stop Using” Government Services

2) God Forbid We Actually Use the Services We Were Forced to Fund

If any business screws you over or doesn’t do a good job, do you not expect it to fix the problem, or in some way right the wrong it committed? Of course you do. The same thing goes with libertarians and the government. For example, we are forced to pay thousands and thousands of our hard earned dollars every year into social security, and the harsh reality of it is that a lot of us don’t have enough money lying around to retire comfortably after almost half of it’s been taken in some way or another. Are we to just say, “That’s OK. I don’t need a good retirement anyway. I’m so principled, I’ll spend my last years miserable and not try to take back the money I was promised”? If anyone makes a deal with you, they should honor it, especially if they forced you to make that deal against your will.
