when you're done vomiting up this verbal diarrhea you might want to address the actual topic of the post...or perhaps you have no retort for the fact that your silly world view leaves you open to a plethora of corporate malfeasance or perhaps you enjoy lead in infant formula or mad cow disease or polluted drinking water, toxic waste filled parks, etc? or maybe just driving on roads, or maybe since you're on CS you like the internet...guess who created it? Hint, nor Ayn Rand or Rand Paul
Umm... I was making an argument against libertarianism, and saying that poster should think about his equating taxes with violence and his rejection of responsibility towards others whenever using the things that make his life livable.

Deflect away. You are either for imposing your personal will upon your neighbor through government aggression or you are not. Some believe in human freedom and some believe that they have a Divine Right to use aggression to get their way.
You are the one who brought Rand into this. I am libertarian/agorist/voluntaryist/anarchist in philosophy. Rand looked at it from a philosophy of reason over force. I look at it from a moral obligation to obey non-aggression.
I don't assign any right/wrong to any freedom or act except that all forms of aggression are wrong.
By the way, taking care of your loved ones COULD be viewed as a selfish desire, because you take care of them because you love them. She was right that selfishness gets a bad rap. As all people are selfish if you really look at it deeply. Even the gratification of helping others is a selfish act if viewed from an objective standpoint.
Well, John Galt didn't bother bringing anyone to the Gulch to clean his bedsores when he got older. Afterall, such menial tasks are for looters. And he sure as hell wouldn't pay for Medicaid! you know, if it existed in Ann Rynds fictional world.

I require a daily payment of $5,000 to make my life "livable". I expect payment from you immediately. I accept Bitcoin and Paypal.

you claim I'm deflecting...that's beyond rich; you have not addressed or refuted one iota of the post I called you out on. Instead you babble on and on about government coercion and violence for mandating clean water or safe medicine standards.

What responsibility do I have to others, other than not to impose my will upon them with force?

Deflect.
Do you believe that you have a right to impose your personal will upon your neighbor with aggression?
How about we just add healthcare coverage to the list of other niceties that you get from living in a modern society and call it a day.
How about universal everything for everybody? Then we can all just be a mindless conforming slave race of the State to get our rations.
