...and schools. Should there only be home-schooling and private schools (that, of course, receive no subsidies from the government)?

that's correct. i don't owe anyone's kids an education and neither do you.

...and food inspection. Should each of us pay to have someone inspect our food to ensure that it is safe? Everyone else should just roll the dice.

well most likely the places selling food would pay for the consumer watchdog to inspect their food. the watchdog puts their seal of approval on it, then the company passes that cost on to you, the consumer (if you choose to buy their product). or you buy brands that have proven to have a quality you expect. would you buy food without a trusted seal? well, even if you would, that's your freedom to roll those dice.

mission accomplished, nobody was forced to do anything.
 
Ah yes...a future built on homeschooling and "consumer" watchdogs paid by industry.

Everyone in favor of such a plan for the future of our country say "Aye!"...

I've always labeled the government as a necessary evil. In one way I wish they didn't exist but the problem is if they didn't there would be anarchy which is worse.

again i have to stop you short because your premise about my ideas are wrong. you really need to quit being so ignorant of my words if you're going to debate me. i'm not advocating anarchy. anarchy is the state of nature, we live in anarchy right now. you can't enforce anarchy by definition.

let me say it again for those that don't pay attention: "i stated before that government was created to protect individual rights and that's it. anything more than that is a violation of the rights it was created to protect. government should only pay for what is essential to protect individual rights, the rest is up to society or the individual."

Please take off your tinfoil hat if you believe every drop of money going to the government is stealing.

stealing= taking property that does not belong to you by force and without consent

taxes= taking property that does not belong to you by force and without consent

every drop of money going to the government is stolen if it's spent on things i don't want, need or ask for. even if i use the services provided, the funds were still stolen to pay for them.

everyone in favor of stealing money to pay for what we want, say "aye!"...

you can't even admit to yourself that you're advocating theft, can you?

you clearly don't respect people's rights or freedom, and you defend your self righteous thievery with silly rhetoric instead of facts.
 
Scat - if taxes are "stealing" why don't you stop paying taxes?

Regarding fire dept, there are tons of volly dept that opperate only on donations. Sadly less and less people want to volly. County run dept(i work for) are a neccessary thing. I support taxes with some things such as fire police but not schools. My child isnt in school atm so I shouldnt be paying for it.
