That's only because the the government will put them is a cage if they do. Remove the government and you'll have to contend with 20 corporations trying to put you in a cage per day.
So your solution is to have one large slave master, as opposed to a collection of smaller slave masters?
That doesn't seem like a very satisfying solution.
At least you have admitted that the function of a government is to put people in cages.

Who the fuck do you think makes those guns? You do know that a lot of guns are named after the corporations manufacturing them?

Well so what? do we blame knife manufacturers for stabbings? The person committing the violence with that tool is responsible, not the manufacturer of the tool.

Corporations are not preferable in a free society, although they do not violate the non aggression principle, they still semi-work through the state through grants, subsidies and protection. This is obviously not preferable to a society built on free trade.

Don't like the public 'education' service? too bad, you will be thrown in a cage if you don't pay for it.
You don't have to like anything the government pays for with your taxes, but since you use it you have to pay for it. End of story. If you don't like it, work on getting it changed. As long as you use your internet, drive on our roads, and enjoy any number of other services the government doles money out for (such as recycling programs, trash pick up, water processing, park maintenance, street lighting, etc), then you have to pay. Otherwise, you're free-riding.
So you are saying a slave owes his labour to his slave master because the slave master happens to give that slave some food and shelter?
Just because someone forces goods and services upon me in no way means I am responsible for 'paying it back' since I never voluntarily agreed to it to begin with
The only freedom, is freedom from illusion.
