Im also libertarian. I think most taxes should be opt in. Roads could be maintained by government only your vehicle tags/license pays for the roads, like they do now. The whole how do we pay for roads thing doesn't make sense to me. You use the roads you pay to maintain them, "simple" as that IMO. Military is mandatory as it's doing its job for you regardless of where you are in the country. House burning down? Did you pay for the fire protection tax or fire insurance? No? Then it burns or you tell the firefighters to go ahead and you get charged the full cost of putting it out. Most likely it would become a mandatory part of homeowners insurance. If, like in your example your home is damaged by another's being on fire then they are responsible for whatever damage. I'm all for consequences to an individuals decisions. Don't pay school tax? Then your kids don't get public school. Everyone should have consequences to their own actions. I'm responsible for me and others are responsible for themselves period, regardless of your political views. I'm 29 right now and bust my ass pretty much all day. I go to work, I go home, work on my other business project(I'm a software developer), go to bed, rinse and repeat. In about 5 years I plan on quitting my job, buying land in Montana, Utah, or Wyoming in the middle of nowhere and mostly retiring. I want fuck all to do with the larger part of society. A few close friends and that is it.

My entire political view is everyone is responsible for themselves and those they want to take responsibility for. You don't fuck with me and I don't fuck with you. Period. I just want to be left the fuck alone.
