You are right, but considering that until recently not paying your TV license was a crime in effect it is government funded; ultima ratio regum and all that...

Stealing my car is a crime too. Today I learned my car is government funded.
Your argument is non sequitur. If others were required to pay for your car via legislation then you might have an argument.
Property rights are a government-funded right, correct.

The roads your drive on are almost certainly subsidised from beyond the direct taxes you pay on your car and fuel too.
