Saying that we can’t survive without the government, is like saying that animals can’t survive without farms.

Some humans live like animals, but most of us want a better life that we can't have living like animals. Taxes are one of the cost of a civilized society. Surely you are smarter than you sound. Most all of us are..

I don't mean we can't survive without the government we have now, only that we can't have civilization without government . Has that fact changed since I took high school civics?

No, it is noting like saying that animals can't survive without farms. I hope you meant that to be a joke or something.

Taking somebody's money without permission is stealing, unless you work for the IRS; then it's taxation. Killing people en masse is homicidal mania, unless you work for the Army; then it's National Defense. Spying on your neighbors is invasion of privacy, unless you work for the FBI; then it's National Security. Running a whorehouse makes you a pimp and poisoning people makes you a murderer, unless you work for the CIA; then it's counter-intelligence.

I guess that is one way to look at it and it might have some truth to it. If we want want the good stuff like quilted toilet paper and police protection, we have to give up some things to some extent. I agree that we may be giving up too much now. We just can't agree all the time on how much we are willing to give up and for what.
You can kiss the bride after the wedding, but not four years after the wedding. I think it was Thomas Jefferson or Donald Trump who said that.

People do not walk barefoot because there are no government shoe factories.
There are no government shoe factories in America or in most other countries and people go barefoot only by choice or extreme poverty. Please tell me you have thought about this issue a whole lot more than if sounds like you have. Have you had a stroke of severe head injury?

I used to think government was a necessary evil, but I’ve changed my mind. It isn’t necessary.

Humans have never been able to live in groups without some kind of government. That is the nature of humanity. Like it or not, it is essential.

I am sure Trump did not violate tax laws that he had legislators he selected and contributed generously to write. Try to think and learn, not attack and look foolish.

Every time I pay my credit card bill, my taxes, for my water and sewer, I object to having to do so, but I am smart enough to know why I have to give my permission to make payments.

No one forced you to take on credit card debt, but the government forces you at the point of a gun to pay for government services whether you like or not.
