It also misses the proper functions of government.


It also misses the nature of government.


Oh-for-three!


Plus, I would argue that with less gov't infrastructure I would have
made more money. I don't look towards the gov't to provide my
necessities and in areas it does anyway; it usually does it less
efficiently than I could myself.


Nope you wouldn't. You would have to provide for security, roadways,

mails
,
etc. Open your eyes and realize how much you take for granted.


Yes, and all those would be more efficient than the gov't provided
services we have today. For what I pay in state taxes I could hire a
full time armed guard and a fireman to stand watch on my house 24x7.


So you insist on shallow thinking. Try again. Think of building codes, bank
insurance, weather observation, search and rescue. The list goes on and on
and you do own taxes for those services. Your business would not exist
without them. In other words, WAKE UP.


You are so naive. The gov't run schools have indoctrinated you so well
into thinking only the US gov't can provide these services. They
probably make you think the UL and the Insurance Highway Safety is a
gov't organization as well. There are certainly some areas where the
gov't is the best organization to take care of things. It makes up
about 10% of our civilian gov't today. 90% of it is waste that could
be done better by private industry.
