That is where the main problem lies , you assume anyone that does not want the government to be the gate keeper of comunity life , is inherently selfish . How do you trust the government so much ? to easily give them half or more of what you make , and blindly trust them , to negotiate in your behalf or use the money wisely . I live in a country where the government has almost all power , a giant machine at their hands , corruption is endemic , prime ministers on trial , corruption across party lines , mayors in jail , and yet the taxes keep going up and up , while the services going down . For the most part they get off with a slap on the wirst if they even are senteced . And make millions in the process . While i wait 1 year fora consultation but 1 week if i go to the private sector , and i am far better treated . For me the government is a corrupt machine full of burocrats and nepotism , a total waste of comunity resources . While a private company can be easily sentences if wrong doing is found the state oficials are above the law . I do not trust the government one bit , and you shouldnt too . I will never acept that way of thinking , and will not stand to be called selfish when i defend personal freedom from the ahnds of abusive government .
