Philisophically I like the idea of being able to opt out of society. Citizenship should be a choice, a contract that you willfully enter into. Otherwise the governments only athority exists based on its ability to enforce its power through Police, Propaganda, and Military. I would perfer to think of a country of an area where a group of people have decided to follow a set of social norms for the greater good.
However Freeman think that they can opt out of any obligation to the government while still recieving all of the benefits.

You can't opt out of society, your a member of it as soon as you live within its border and use any government services.
The only way that you could opt out of society is if you were willing to pay unsubsidized prices for health care, police and fire protection, utilities, road ways, communications and in fact employment.
The only way you can opt out is if your a citizen of another country existing at the sufferance of the country that you reside in.
