Yes actually.

The provided shipping, manpower, protection.

All for a small fee.

And you could refuse to pay OR go with someone else.

We have no such choice...

The mafia would leave you alone if you paid them. The government might fine you or jail you if you don't pay taxes.

You're free to move to Somalia, also.

Yup. Completely the same.

Quick question, if the government didn't do all that it has done to provide the basis for our economy to happen would you still be able to make a living?

Did we add or lose jobs last month? Is the stock market rising or falling? Is the trade gap growing or narrowing?
