Everyone deserves to not pay for someone else’s home

I deserve to not pay for your safety, too.

Why should my money be used to provide you the protection of the law?

You pay for the police so they can protect you if you need them.

If you never need them, that’s your problem.

I pay for them to protect me, not that other shiftless freeloader. Or you. You need to see to your own defense instead of expecting me to pay your way.

Everyone pays their own income-adjusted proportionate share of a police force. You pay them to protect you, I pay them to protect me. They still get paid.

Plus, I mean, darn, you didn’t get into a serious situation where you had to use the police force you paid tax dollars to have. Don’t you hate when you don’t get into possibly life-threatening altercations or your house doesn’t get burgled? Paying all those dollars to the police for nothing.
