Protecting property right via physical means or through the rule of civil law is what allows capitalism to flourish here in the US. That costs money.
Having a military that is used primarily to keep international freight safe as well as to reach out and touch those who would restrict the markets owned by, you guessed it, rich people.
The whole commercial code is in place just to protect property rights.
Most of what the government does, it does it mainly to benefit the owners of capital.
So I figure it this way; stop whining about having to pay to protect your way of life.
Tax 'em.

My husband and I enjoy a very comfortable way of life, and we are not having any problem paying taxes...
We could pay more, if need be...
Taxes are the price you pay to live in a civilized society...
