This is pretty tiresome. If you are going to subscribe to a libertarian position on taxes and government, then you also need to suscribe to its positon on the social contract. Ideologies have implicit and explicit assumptions. I suppose you can pick and choose which ones you agree with, but you will encounter logical contradictions eventually.
