Come on, your post is stupid on it's face. If a high quality of living is enabled by technology and innovation, said technology and innovation is enabled by stuff the government does -- a huge quantity of technology has it's roots in US government spending, and education is one of the 3 big things that states spend money on.

Further, you conflate taxation laws and laws that prohibit things, eg "trading with each other is a taxable offense". In the real world, someone has to pay for the government and businesses pay a piece of the cost.
