"If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe."

~Carl Sagan

You will always have people taking care of you, from the clothes you wear to the things you eat. There is no escape.

Not even by living on your own are you not using other peoples knowledge or products.

What kind of logic is that? You're confusing "taking care of you" with "making trades". My life doesn't depend on one person making clothes for me. I can switch them whenever I want, unlike your monopoly government, or Google for that matter.
