I just think any form of government should be voluntary. If you opt out of the current system, you lose any assets you may have. I'm not necessarily antigovernment, just against nonvoluntary forms of government. Any group of people naturally form a government to themselves. A family is a government.



I can see roads and schools being voluntarily funded but punishment would probably be a little trickier. The current system isn't that great though either. We have drug dealers getting put away longer than rapists. Many nonviolent crimes are punished harshly when those people should be paying restitution rather than being housed with taxes from their victims.



There are probably no easy solutions. I see our monetary system as a source for lots of the social strife. There are lots of people with varied answers on what the problem is with the monetary system and how it should be fixed. I'm currently reading the works of E. C. Riegel. His views are different than others I have read and his conclusion is that a free society is not possible unless the money power resides with the people rather than government and banks. His view is that all political systems will move toward socialism or fascism if the money power resides with government because the monetary system is the base for the political system. If the monetary system is centrally controlled then the political system must follow.



One day I hope to not be ignorant... probably not in this lifetime though.
