Jesus's words were put into his mouth after his death by the statists. Ignore them.
It is simpler than it looks:
I am fine with "gov" protecting me.
It means, I am fine with them making a fence around me.
It means I am fine with them owning the land under the fence.
It means I am fine with them charging anybody, including myself, for crossing their land or bringing goods across.
It means I am fine with the foreign trade customs type of taxes.
But I govern my own land myself.
I don't want "gov" ever entering my land.
I don't want them protecting me from my friendly neighbours that are within their fence perimeter.
The unfriendly neighbours I either shoot myself, or get them to the other side of the fence. Or reposition the fence.
So I am not OK with any other type of taxes that are not customs on foreign trade.
