The government, as the sovereign entity, possesses jurisdiction over all persons and property within its territorial boundaries. Attempting to completely sever ties is not an "escape" but a series of choices that carry significant legal consequences, often resulting in a reduction of rights, privileges, and protections rather than an increase in freedom.

Jurisdiction: Government authority is based on jurisdiction. You are subject to its laws by virtue of your presence within its territory (territorial jurisdiction), your status as a citizen or resident (personal jurisdiction), and your engagement in certain activities (subject matter jurisdiction).

The Social Contract: The law operates on the principle that individuals consent, explicitly or implicitly, to surrender some natural freedoms in exchange for the protection of remaining rights and the maintenance of order. "Escaping" implies breaking this contract.

Benefits vs. Burdens: Government interaction is often a package deal. To receive benefits (e.g., using public roads, claiming legal protections, accessing the court system), you must accept corresponding burdens (e.g., obeying traffic laws, paying taxes, complying with regulations).

The right path is one of:

Minimization: Legally reducing your taxable footprint and reliance on government systems.

Assertion: Knowledgeably exercising your Constitutionally-protected rights during interactions with the state.

Relocation: Moving to jurisdictions (within the US or abroad) with laws more aligned with your philosophy.

Expatriation: The final, legal, and complete severance of the citizen-state relationship.
