"Most U.S. citizens are born on U.S. soil or to U.S. parents completely by accident. And what the government is telling us is that our accident of birth obliges us to lifelong service to the state, even though we never signed up for any of it. If they say we must pay, we must pay. If they reinstitute a draft and say we must go die, we must go die. If they say they need to steal our Social Security, seize our IRAs, or inflate our currency away, then we must yield. And if at any point, we stand up and say, “Wait a sec. I never signed up for any of this. You can have your citizenship back,” then they bar us for life as a penalty. This all seems rather curious for a nation that was founded by foreigner settlers in search of a better life. Yet we must either gleefully accept being born into state slavery… or they’ll treat us as if we are dead. It’s hardly seems an appropriate way for an enlightened civilization to treat people."
