We really get to the crux of socialism vs conservatism here.

Put me down on the side of personal freedom vs group need.

Govs do stuff for us; they do not own us or our stuff.

That stuff they do ain’t free. And if they don’t do it, we end up as Somalia.

But I would also disagree with the (semantic) argument that if you owe something to someone else you don’t own it. If you didn’t own it, you couldn’t owe it. Both are true.
