It is all being redistributed when we are taxed for roads, police, fire. Even defense. Unless I  am a billionaire, can I afford my own army?

If I can not, and I best rely on others to pool resources, and it is re-distribution. And so how about crime. Suppose somebody steals from me because I have more than they and they justify it as they need it and I will not miss it, like happens in a third world country when my shoes are stolen. 

Is there something I can do to prevent the theft, other than sleep with my stinky shoes under my head? Isn't an ounce of tax worth a pound of consumer cost?
