That is not true. My ancestors lived in a world where the tax was 9% there was no VAT or sales tax and zero property tax. The government had no say on whatever you were building on your property, there was no forced insurance or forced medical tax. Still there were police and fire Marshalls. Those were handled locally and they were doing their job like anybody else. The idea that you have to choose between being a slave or live in the total chaos is false.
If you mean that I should refuse public help to be coherent, well yes I'm already doing that. Me and my children have no doctor, the government doesn't know they are homeschooled and I do not expect to live over a retirement one day. Still I need to pay for owning my stuff and I need a driver licence plus I need a passport to move. The cost of forfeit the government structure is high.
