Answer 1

1. government is something that can help protect the american people from foreign and domestic unrest and keep the people prosperous and democratic.

2. social security, welfare, health care. i believe that it's not the government's issue and that privatizing will help the government focus on what it needs to focus on, like crime and safety.

3. military, gun rights, states rights. the military is there to protect us and help make the world more stable to live in, which is really the same thing. also, gun rights allow us to hunt and to have a way to protect our families should the need arise. states rights are there to protect us from government. what's more important than that???

Answer 2

Government means a bunch of out of touch scumbags pretending that they are noble lords at my expense.  

I will give up nothing willingly.

Answer 3

Our rights such as life, liberty and property are endowments of our creator.  To protect these rights governments are instituted amongst men.  (Does this sound familar)

The purpose of government is to protect our rights, not to establish a socialist structure.

There is no conflict between people that exercise their freedom to do as they see fit so long as they don't interfere with others doing the same.  So I don't see the necessity of giving up any legitimate rights to achieve some particular social structure.

Answer 4

someone to give all my money to in taxes and fees
