it's like saying "stop taking my taxes" and then later wondering why the roads are full of potholes, your tap water is no longer drinkable and your air quality sucks and your life expectancy is down.

oh, but maybe you don't care about any of that, for X reasons; those things may not be important to you, but other things are, like maybe not being swindled by your bank (CFPB) or being able to enjoy visiting a National Park. Or maybe there's nothing that you care about, but there are millions of other people who do care.
