I get nothing positive in exchange for the extortion. So, it is accurate for me and most of the people I know.

Yes you do. I’m sure you’ve gotten mail from USPS before. You definitely benefit from military protection internationally and at the border. You use roads which are mostly state funded. You get police protection, firefighters, most electric grid infrastructure, most judicial services, international affair management, tons of public transportation. Even if you don’t use public transportation it still benefits you that it exists. Not sure if you went to public school, but most people do. You get that too.
No. The USPS only exists because of the unfair monopoly granted to it.
I was in the army. I did not benefit at all. In fact, I am much worse off now. We are not supposed to have standing armies. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. We don't need them. We can't afford them. They do nothing to protect us. A navy? Sure. We can talk about that.
All federal transportation fails. I do not want the TSA. I don't need the DHS, CIA, NSA, etc. I do not want to pay for them. I don't need diplomats in other countries. I don't need the fedgov to broker trade deals. I need literally nothing from them. At all. You are a statist and your insistence on the state is gross, unthoughtful, immature, unwise, and antithetical to being an American. Please wake up.
