Instead, I consider the house I own to be my own private property, or the place I rent out to be a private contract between me and the tenant. The "if you don't like it, leave" idea seems to imply that the state has some sort of proprietary ownership of the land I live on.
Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like I was giving an ultimatum there. I just wanted to point out the options one is faced with when living in a system that they find dissatisfactory:
1) Decide to accept the system and ignore the source of dissatisfaction.
2) Take action and change the system and eliminate the source of dissatisfaction.
3) Move to where one is no longer affected by the system.
4) Complain but do nothing and be forever dissatisfied about the system.

I just don't want you to be stuck at #4 because that just leads to bitterness and anger and makes your life miserable. The last thing I want is to see you being miserable, with no end in sight. And I know that you won't take options 1 or 3, so you're left with option 2. I want to encourage you to come up with a plan to enact change. Because in all seriousness, I believe you can do it. You easily draw people to you to support the things that you're passionate about and you are a strong debater. History is made by ordinary people who stepped up because they couldn't let an issue slide and had to do something about it.
