You are hopelessly lost in your own selfish dependence on big government checks to realize they cannot be paid forever.
I’m ignoring the off-point nonsense in your response.
So how about it? Are private sector taxpayers slaves? Must they pay every promise government makes? Can you possibly be a patriot if you are not working in government?
Absolutely not! The Tax payers are not slaves, but free men. But the country has an obligation to protect itself. That is probably the one single DUTY it has.
There is no argument there, the argument is what constitutes protection and how much it costs to do so.
Invading Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein, for example, is a debatable argument of need or not. Responding militarily to the Empire of Japans attack on Pearl Harbor is less so. Keeping a massive military when your adversary has nuclear weapons and an avowed hatred of your way of life and threatens you makes sense to many as well.
Still, the whole wide world of human beings include good guys and bad guys, and often those bad guys get enough of their kind together and go taking things from the good guys. The citizens of this country decided to form a government to look out for their good interests, and one of those interests include having a military to confront bad guys.
This has a cost. Argue how much and what for, but it does have a cost. Spend too little and the bad guys get through, and they’re not going to be nice.
