Sure, except if you choose to live in the middle of nowhere it’s hardly fair for everyone else (government) to pay for your decision. It’s not like they owe you other utilities. A house you build off grid will stay that way unless someone pays to change that. Just like you can get well water and solar electricity, you can also get satellite internet. I suspect you’re still comparing one of the Nordic countries or GB to US without realizing just how vastly different population density is here.
Not everyone “chooses” to be born into an already built house they grew up in, lol. You’re making a lot of assumptions here.
And having people living out in the country and tending to the forest and/or farming is essential for any country. It is fair because we depend on them. I’ll stop paying taxes when I can finally eat money. I’ll also gladly pay taxes to allow grampa to have Internet access so he can video chat with his grandkids. Anything else is selfish. Either way, they paid some of it out of their own pocket, I believe. So not everything was paid by the community. So there’s a bit of nuisance for you.
We have the same thing here, dense cities and thin inland landscapes. Same thing as any country, really? 🤷♂️
