Government get out of my life
You are complaining about living in a society.
Adam Smith, the father of capitalism, recognized that government has a right to regulate. If you disagree, go live like the unibomber did, in a shack in the middle of the woods away from people.
I keep reading about the government intervening in folks lives, so I'm curious to know what is it that you are doing that I'm not. I ask because I trying to figure out why the government has been interfering in mine. Outside of a few traffic signals, and having to pay a toll to return to Philadelphia from New Jersey I've had absolutely zero interactions with the government, government policies or anything that could be remotely construed as being present much less interfering in my life.
Can you folks who have the government poking into the life's help figure out what makes you so special?
That's because you have your head in the sand. Government tells us (including you)
- what you can buy
- what you can smoke
- what you can drink
- what you can eat
- who you can have sex with
- when your store can be open
- what you can sell on what days
- what prices you can charge
- what you can pay your employees
- what profit margin you can make

Sure
American society functioned well prior to the introduction of high taxes and social programs. As a matter of fact, it was a more productive society.

Yes, back, in the era of subsistence farming and robber barons. America was wayyy more productive then. Definitely haven't had any economic growth for the last 150 years. Nope, insuring a strong middle class isn't important for keeping America going, you don't need any bulwark of protection against exploitative elites, you should follow the Honduran model
How about my health care for one which is a private matter to me or the greedy bureaucrats with their hands in my pockets ?
Funny, I endured two back to back stays in the hospital the only folks I've had to deal with are hospital bean counters and the insurance company because the hospital was in our plan but the doctors the hospital assigned to my case were not.
I hear that in Somalia the government does not get mixed up in your business. Not many taxes either. Is that what you want?
