A strawman that only a liberal could make.
Have you got a better example of a country operating without a government than Somalia?
Why did our Founding Fathers institute government? They instituted local governments, state governments and a federal government. And they wrote rules! and rules about writing rules! Or do you think they were a bunch of liberals?
I’m for a lean efficient government. But there are some things that only government can do effectively. Rules about the marketplace, international trade, immigration, etc. Some need to be done at the federal level, some need to be done at the state level.
