the government literally prevents people from not funding unions in forced unionization states.

No it doesn't. Union security agreements do.

Union security agreements are dependent on state law.

In the US we have agency shops and fair share, that's it since Taft Hartley.

Fair share are negotiated between employer and union, this is probably why you are familiar with it, (assuming you are public sector) agency fees however are set by the union as their "cost of collective bargaining." The employer doesn't have a say in how much this is, just as the employer doesn't have a say in how much dues are.

1. Of course employers don't set agency fees.
2. This thread is about fair share fees.

and people shouldn't be forced to pay fees to be represented by an organization they have no desire to affiliate with entirely dependent on where they reside, and what that government forces them to.

Fair share, agency, and all other fees of this type should be eliminated, and anyone who wishes to opt out of a union should be allowed to bargain on their own. It's forced unionization.
