Are you for real? Here's just a couple of things the government does for you:

- Protects your freedom (though admittedly this may be a little hard to see sometimes unless you squint)

- Educates. Your schools and your kids schools are paid for by the government.

- Improves your health. You and everyone you know live longer now thanks to public sanitation, sewer systems and water treatment. Ever heard of the EPA?

- They build highways you know. And in case you forgot what you use to communicate with these days, they also built the Internet. And not many people know this but the governments (US and Canada) also invested in communication back when the telephone was brand new.

- Who do you think got us into space?

etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc....
