You continue to deny that you are not alone on this planet, in regards to how you think economics works.

Your very existence depends upon the people around you. Without their well-being, you would shrivel up and die.

And that is what “government”, in a democracy like ours, is. That “government” that you despise so much is simply the totality the humanity around you.

When you despise the EPA you despise the effort to keep people from getting poisoning from our industrial wastes. You see governance like the EPA an intrusion into your precious world, while all the EPA in fact is simply results from trying to deal with aftermath of having so many people living in one place and producing so much waste.

Just looking at infrastructure like sewer, water and electrical, the average homeowner could not pay for the small chunk just in front of her/his property without government subsidization. No way farmers or other rural citizens could pay for installing those same utilities, the roads and the bureaucracy necessary to track land use and sales without government support.

Even survivalists who live in isolated compounds relied on government financed roads, utilities, surveyors and land ownership enforcement. Barfly hasn’t thought beyond his own selfish envy and fear.
