In response to a news article re the Baton Rouge cop killer's lifestyle choice to be a "sovereign citizen", the following is offered in response:

Public services provided in all our communities have public taxes paid, as their funding source.

If one wishes to become a "sovereign citizen" I have no problem with that choice.

Here is what the response will be. 

Since you no longer consider yourself a citizen of this great country, we will now charge you for walking down our sidewalks, which must be maintained.

We will now charge you for driving down our streets, which must be maintained. 

We will now charge you for polluting our air with your vehicle.

We will now charge you triple the citizen rate for all utilities: water, sewer, heating, a/c, trash pick up.

Should you choose to use our libraries, there will be a $100 admittance fee, as the libraries have to be maintained.

Should your residence catch fire, there will be a fire department response, and the bill will be tripled for you. Fire departments must be maintained.

Should you need a police officer, don't bother calling. They're busy serving and protecting citizens.

We will now consider you to be in our country without the required permits, and will confine you until we can deport you.

Questions?  Because freedom isn't free.
