Yes, well, even if you're the rare paragon that always does the correct and optimally beneficial thing for himself and all those around you, the world is full of people who do all kinds of stupid, dangerous, selfish and short-sighted things, so for them we have government and its necessary taxes, and unfortunately you don't get to opt out.
