The Federal Government has done an immense amount of good. So have various state governments, county governments and municipalities. I love my national parks. I love my clean water. I love my clean air. My family was helped immensely by welfare and food stamps and a welfare to work program. Subsidized student loans got me through college.
If you really dislike our government so much, I will kindly ask you to not let the door hit your ass on the way out.
