With government no longer involved in education, your property taxes would fall by about 75%

We could save some money by getting government out of the police, fire and court business, too!!!

And why do we need public sewers??

I never mentioned any of the above. In any case they amount to no more than 15% of state and local budget.

Indeed, because they involve little wealth redistribution (everyone pays a little, everyone gets a little) they are probably reasonably left in the government sector.

Some residents of a little town up the road from where I live are asking the same question. For years, a private company has handled the water treatment. The town is growing, and the town council wanted to take over the water handling from the private firm.

The residents said no. The private company is still in charge. It seems to be working out well.
