People gain strength, power, security and wealth by forming groups.
The individual pays a price- subservience to the group, but in an ideal situation that subservience is rewarded with a bounty of wealth, infrastructure, security, education, healthcare and opportunity.
Governments and their success in serving citizens vary, according to many variables but without government people are weak, vulnerable, unable to maximise or even realise anything close to their potential.
A good government balances individual freedoms with requirements and obligations.
Taxes fund services and infrastructure, law and order and defense.
Good government requires enough citizens to engage and participate in keeping the system honest and effective- Libertarians seek to opt out, blaming government for everything when they themselves contribute nothing toward the requirement of government and its essential role.
Libertarians are over entitled spoilt brats. Send them all to Gaza for re-education.
