Why do humans have to pay to live on this planet?

Can you live off the land and provide for yourself?

what the fuck i hate planet now

Fuck off with the reddit frog

Human desires are infinite while resources are limited.

No because land isn't free.

We pay to live in civilized areas that have infrastructure built using public money. If you want to live for free, go out in the wilderness and live off the land

>wilderness
Which is all already owned. If me and 30 friends wanted to set up our own village in the "wilderness" we'd have to buy land.

Because entropy always wins. You are paying with or without currency.

Go to Somalia.

Go to Alaska. Plenty of people do it up there.

And even if you have to buy some of the land first, it's not like it's that expensive

just drop out, claim welfare and become a NEET

what are property taxes

land ownership does not exist. You can only rent the land at a reduced price

You don't have to, you could live in a cave or something.

You only have to pay if you want to live with amenities made by someone else.

>implying land is free in Somalia

...

Are you retarded? Just because the central government over there is pretty ducking weak doesn't magically mean that land isn't owned or doesn't cost money

>why do niggers have to live on this planet?

FTFY

Caves aren't free either.

If you mean land then you have to understand that most land is already owned by someone. You can buy private land that's available though.

If you mean just in general, then that's not necessarily true. You can go hunting under certain conditions and eat the food you get. You can do that pretty cheaply with the proper tools and equipment.

Land isn't free because more people want it than the amount that exists, so it's sold on an open market at rates where a purchaser is willing to pay for it and the seller is willing to sell it.

This is done with the authority of governments that hey their authority from the people inside of them agreeing to a list of rules and regulations. They do this becuse it gatuntees to protect you from anyone that would break those agreed upon rules.

It's not that complex of an idea.

1. humans need food, shelter, and other services like clean water, not to mention government, transportation, etc.

2. none of these things accomplish themselves. humans must work hard to create and maintain these systems.

3. no one wants to work for free while no one else has to work. Why would I go pave roads and farm food for nothing when 90% of the populations was just fucking and playing games all day? I want to fuck and play games. No one would work if things were this way.

4. therefore, each individual must prove their value by performing valuable tasks in exchange for money which is then traded for the necessities (and luxuries) that they wish to consume.

why is this so hard to understand? If you want to live in an apartment with water and electricity, you have to give something to the people who create it for you. Why do you think it should be free?

Go diappear in the Rocky or Appalachian mountains. Live off the land, and construct a meager living situation. You only have to file for taxes if you make a taxable income of $3,750.

As long as you do not construct a cabin that have power lines or municipal plumbing you are fine. Dig a latrine and use a generator. Hunt animals and sell excess meat/furs. There are people that do this.

someone owns the land you're building on, either privately or the fed or state government. if you get found out, you will be evicted, your cabin will be demolished, and you will probably be imprisoned.
