You know darn well that's not what I said liar. (bad fruit)
"So you are saying that if you pay taxes it's a right?"
No. This is what I said:
"if you don't pay taxes, consider the use of those roads to be a privilege provided to you."
Websters - "privilege"
"a right or immunity granted as a peculiar benefit, advantage, or favor : prerogative; especially : such a right or immunity attached specifically to a position or an office "
I'm saying everyone within our borders should have the right to use roads whether they pay taxes or not. I'm saying that if you don't want to pay taxes, consider the use of those roads to be "a favor and right" granted to you by those willing to pay your way, and without them, you'd be paying your way through the world, and there's no better way to demonstrate that you've lost your liberty than to make you pay to travel through the world while traveling over private property. You just want to create a prison of toll roads don't you Anarchist?
You have a right to move about freely, but others also have a right to property ownership, so unless there are public arteries to travel through, you'd be locked in an Anarchist prison, surrounded by toll roads and privately contracted goon squads serving an Anarchists version of justice; the principle of self interest.
It's not YOU that I hate. It's broken and worthless ideas that I hate, Anarchism, and privately owned toll roads is a broken and worthless idea. I choose liberty, and as I've said many times; Anarchists are WORTHLESS to liberty; less than worthless actually, a detriment to liberty because they don't care about anybodies but their own imagining they'll be free if they can just get rid of government.
Anarchists are kind of like a bank manager thinking he can get rid of bank robbery by getting rid of guns. It's not the gun that causes injustice. It's the covetous man who'd use force to take what he covets, and the same kind of person who'd rob a bank is the same kind of person who'd make people pay a toll to travel through his land.
