Do you owe society anything beyond paying your taxes, such as having children?

Furthermore, what is the bare minimum an individual should feel obligated to give back to society?

Amount aside, should taxation even be required? How about military service?

At what point has one given enough to their country?

Do you think your society or country has been especially good to you?

Feel free to opine, debate and discuss.

I believe that individuals have a duty to support their society in a variety of ways, and the society has a duty to support the individuals from which it is made. Society cannot exist without individuals, but likewise individuals cannot exist in any meaningful way without society.

@DunningKruger Very well put! I too think it should be a two-way street. Too often it's lopsided.
