Well now, the EPA and other federal agencies do not pass laws. (If they did, the Federal Bureau of Punctuation and Clarity might have something to say about all those superfluous quotation marks.)
Taxes bad.? How else would you suggest we finance those conveniences we've become accustomed to, like Interstate highways, police and fire protection, our military, air traffic control, national parks and forests, public schools, ...? I don't mind paying my share. Yep, if people try to freeload and stop paying their share, there are consequences. I'm ok with that, too.
U.S. government bad? Well, with 345 million people sharing this country, not everyone gets their way all the time. If everyone had total control over their property, do you think it would be possible to build roads or run fiber optic cables and water lines? You know, there are other options available for residency. But all of them come with obligations for coexisting in a society with other citizens and pulling your weight.
To maintain some drone content, someone might want to comment on how we may think we own our drones, but then the government steps in and tells us where we can and can't fly them and makes us pay a fee and put numbers on them if they weigh more than a few ounces.
