Why is Anti-Government Sentiment More Common in Rural America?

I hope these idiots get their tea-tard wet dream and the gubermint cuts them off at the knees.

We had roads here before we even had a local government to build any. To this day there are many, many roads in this state and others (such as Maine), not built by any government. Our local governments can handle road construction just fine too. All the big federal projects did was bring in city outsiders we didn't want in the first place.

Take away farm subsidies and see who hurts the most. It'll be starving city dwellers.

Everybody is pro government in one form or another.

For example those rural people who seem "anti government" usually turn out in favor of the military, law enforcement, subsidiaries for American companies.

Very rarely is there a person who is completely anti government as that would be equal to no government which is equal to anarchy.
