I couldn't reply to your comment in response to my earlier comment so I am replying here.

I believe in natural rights, not designed in the human framework sense, so I totally agree with you on what democracy is actually: mob rule of the majority. Proponents of government actually must accept its truth: wealth transfer at the point of a gun. I live in India (a high-tax and high-tax evasion socialist paradise where even the roads are not good) and I wouldn't pay taxes at all, since I get nothing in return. But poor people get a lot (and of course, rich politicians steal most of the money), but there is no point in denying the truth: but for the State's implied threat of violence, I would not fork out what I earned. Period.
