It means that, for the most part, what's their is theirs. However, because the government is the sole defensive agency allowed and provides protection equally to all citizens, it seems reasonable that it can exact a mandatory fee for the defensive services it provides.
From being taken or destroyed by others.
Your premise is false upon its face. Government provides all sorts of services for the American people. There is nothing sacred or special about defense. For you to elevate it to some special status is ludicrous.
