Some government is good, particularly national defense, infrastructure, education, and protection of its citizens from harmful products made by companies, but most government is bad and unnecessary. 

Our federal budget should be closer to 2 trillion, not the 3.8+ trillion it is today. We take in approx. 3.2 trillion in revenue from citizens, yet overspend 600 billion per year, year in and year out. Why? That needs to change. We waste more than 300 billion a year on paying interest on the national debt. Do you know what we could do with that money every year? The worst part is, we never touch the principle. We will be paying that $300 billion (which will rise) forever. Talk about pathetic.
