I'm not a "small government" person.

1. I am more of a "the people create government" person

Government is not some abstract foriegn entity. People created it, one step at a time, to solve real problems. The problems existed perfectly fine in the private sector before government was created to address them. If the private sector had all the answers to our problems, government would never have been invented or given the roles it has, because the problems would not have existed in a way that called for government intervention.

The notion that problems will go away when matters are handed back to the private sector denies all the collected wisdom of many dozens of successive generations of people, who created government to deal with real problems that actually existed in the private sector before government became involved.

To the extent government is ever dissolved, people will begin to reinvent it the next day.
