Of course, that mindset is why no government EVER wants space travel or self-sufficient colonies out in the black, cause the very first thing they would do is rebel - and movies aside, it's not logistically or financially possible to suppress an insurrection when you have to spend the resources to lift every ounce of men and material out of one gravity well and drop it into another.
Assuming our space technology progresses (which is seeming less and less likely these days) even this is a long way off. We're kind of in the Polynesians and their rafts phase of space travel. We can't build colonies really, except on nearby islands (the moon) all we can do is send people off and more or less let them fend for themselves.
Current technology means it takes about 260 days to reach Mars and this shortest trip can only take place every 1.6 years. It wouldn't be only unfeasible to administer an off world colony, it would be impossible. I think we're several hundred years off even having a situation like the British Empire administering it's colonies during the 18th century.
So in short I'm with you, off world colonies.
