I'm telling you you're wrong. If you displease the government your property can be seized or destroyed. Resistance will be met with violence. Further, it's not even necessary for you personally to offend those who really control your property. If a fleeing felon takes shelter in your home or business your property can be destroyed in the ensuing violence and you won't be compensated. Guess what happens next? You pay the bills to get the property back up to standards or get run off through further violence or the implicit threat of violence. The next person to come along and buy your property will swear up and down that violence had nothing to do with their purchase. Ultimately you have only the control that those who monopolize violence grant to you, and only so long as that control does not conflict with their priorities.
