If not for taxes you would have no police no fire department, no roads, no bridges, no army, no regulated market place, no hospitals. Not all taxes are the same

Soooo..., In your view the best we can do is to have the government take care of us. I can agree that some of your scenario is correct. Actually, no I can't. What can't be done better by private citizens with a profit motive? What? The education system is the best example. If there is one thing we can do for our children that would benefit them more than any other thing it would be to abolish the national department of education and then, without hesitation, abolish all state departments of education.

In such a scenario our children can finally be educated. Would you not agree?

as Thomas Paine said in Common Sense. Government is a necassary evil.


It should be as small as possible with as little power as needed to get the job done. The Constitution was written with this view in mind. Sadly the politicians have used the commerce clause and the Supreme Court to gain untold power.
