San Diego workers will power-wash streets with a bleach solution in an attempt to stop the spread of Hepatitis A:
At least 15 people have died in San Diego from an ongoing hepatitis A outbreak. In an effort to stop the spread of the viral liver disease, city officials have begun power-washing streets across the downtown area, according to NBC San Diego.
As of Monday, workers dressed in protective white gear and red hard hats were seen outside spraying the sidewalks with a bleach-based liquid in hopes of killing the virus that lives in human feces. "We're probably going to be doing them every other Monday, see how that works out at least for the time being," Jose Ysea, a city spokesman, told NBC San Diego.
The high-pressure power-washing system using bleach will hopefully remove "all feces, blood, bodily fluids or contaminated surfaces," according to a sanitation plan included in a letter delivered to San Diego city officials, the Associated Press reports. For now, just streets in San Diego are being washed, but in the near future hand-washing and street-sanitizing efforts will be implemented in other cities in the region, Dr. Wilma Wooten, the region's public health officer, told the AP.

Wrong again. The government is just another player. It is the people, pooling their resources to stake out a place and compete in the open market. And the people do have that right, and to exercise it with their vote.

Wrong again.
The government is not just another player; the government uses men with guns to forcibly take resources from people—this is nothing like people coming together to pool their resources voluntarily in order to provide some service in the open market.

Taxes are voluntary. If you don't want to pay them you can either not make any money, move to a place with no taxes or you can deal with the consequences of not paying. But, in the US you can make a fair amount of money without paying any taxes on it. You just have to live somewhere like rural Oregon where the only taxes are income and property taxes and not own any property. It's difficult to do, but for those that are that adamant about not paying taxes it's possible to do legally with sufficient effort and planning.

It would be considered perfectly natural for the State of Oregon to decide to start taxing people's income. That's imposition; it doesn't whether the majority of people voted to take other people's resources. The whole system is based around the cultural acceptance of this one particular organization ("government") being able to steal from people.

Speaking of gibberish, you seem to imply that the resources consumed by government come only from government workers.
The question put to you was quite clear for those of us not smarmy gits: if "government consisting of people" excuses forcible theft by government according to you, explain how "mafia consisting of people" does not likewise excuse them. What magical power differentiates one from the other?

"Voting" being the limiting factor on government power produces nothing more than tyranny, something the creators of the USA were keen to avoid by eschewing a democracy for a constitutional republic. If you had any imagination at all, you might be able to muster the idea that a 95% tax on fustakrakichs might possibly seem like a bad idea to those at the business end of government guns.

Interesting. Tell me more about this "consent". I heard that, for example, Hillary Clinton got more total votes than Donald Trump, indicating that this consent of yours doesn't need to be unanimous. There is obviously at least a small minority who consent, as government employees consent to using government force, just like Mafia employees consent to using Mafia force.
At what point does the magic happen and allow those who do want to use force against others to have this consent of their victims? One percent? Ten percent? Fifty percent plus one? Can this same magic be used against a recalcitrant hottie at my school who resists my romantic advances? If not, why not?

I see. So, according to your reasoning, once consent is obtained, it is not revokable for at least for the immediate time period. So for you it's perfectly okay to take a date out for dinner and a show, back to the home for some sex, and as long as consent was obtained at some point in the prior proceedings, to consummate intercourse at least once, forcibly if necessary to complete the act over any newfound objections? If not, why not?
