I was being -slightly- sarcastic. Your rights are protected by taxes, not granted by them. If we're discussing why you don't have to pay to exercise your other rights, you actually do. You're exercising your right to free speech right now, but access to this forum isn't actually free. Gotta pay your isp. Gotta pay the guys who string the lines. Gotta pay the engineers who work the server farms...so forth and so on.
Now sure, you could stand on a box and shout at the top of your lungs (provided you aren't trespassing and/or have paid the rental on the spot where the box sits, and the box isn't stolen)...but you could also make a gun, and if you really wanted to you could make it from shit you can source out in the open on a field, right down to the powder...but it'll be awfully damned poor...just like standing on a box and talking to thin air.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
