Taxes enrich the State

Why not let people leave the tax group? The free rider problem is a problem for the tax group, not the victim.

Why not withdraw (Government) services from those that refuse to pay? And if they cannot be withdrawn (such as defence) then there is (must be) no burden to pay.

Is it right that a person is allowed to starve when there are others with food? Should we be forced to feed a person who has no food? We can steal food from others when circumstances justify it, but since there are sufficient resources, it is not justified. It is only when the victim of taxes is responsible in some way, for the hardship and lack in others that force is legitimate, as it is not initiated. For example, my hunger does not create an obligation in those around me.

We are not obligated to help others.

Who is to say which of us has provided the greater service? So then does the Government owe a debt to me for what I have done?

Government services are bad because subjects are forced to give up their assets or labour for something not chosen. It makes them do something (purchase goods) that they don't want to do. Why force people to pay for Government services? It is bad for the subject because they lose assets (land) which they would prefer to keep. If we have no land, we become subordinate to the State.
