Should the government have the right to tell you whether or not you can have an abortion?

Should the government have a right to tell you whether or not you can own a gun?

Should the government have a righ tto tell you whether or not you can marry someone based on your partner’s gender?

Should the government have a say in how much money you get to keep for yourself?

Should the government be allowed to force you to remove a woodstove from your home, citing CO2 emissions concerns?

Individual rights are balanced against group rights. But as for “how much money you get to keep for yourself” I have to say that “This representation of 350 million other people’s trust in the government is mine and the government should keep their grubby hands off of it” is a position I find outright stupid. What do you even think money is?
