    I don't want or need the government. But we have police we have sheriff we have the fire trucks we have schools we have roads to drive upon. We have people that pick up our garbage for us and people that supply electricity to us and people that supply water to us.

    Now if you didn't have any government to regulate these services to you. Ask yourself what are you going to do without a road to drive on? Without a company to supply electricity to you or to bring you water or to put out the fire or to educate your children? 

    where are you going to go when you don't have any money when you can't cry to welfare or run to unemployment.

    People in the United States complain about the government but they just don't realize how dependent they are on that government

  • You'd do better going to college and doing much continuing study on your own, for the YEARS it takes to become politically aware (savvy about how the country actually works, right or dreadfully wrong). THEN you could make reality-based suggestions which people could actually get behind, as they'd be potentially doable. Your current suggestion isn't doable. It show more of youthful what you don't know, than insight.  And you cant just parrot insight. It has to be earned. YEARS of listening to how things are, not saying.

    Source(s): Government is peoplecollectively doing the larger things we all need, like building roads etc. Government isnt bad. Although two-party government is idiotic. But even that doesnt have to be as awful as the US now. Look at Sweden and Denmark and Finland etc. They do very well, and people are happy! They pay taxes, but they GET THINGS for what they pay.
