In some cases you are right it would be nice if they would go away.  Unfortunately all too many people ( especially around here)  think that government has no place and that it should be the wild west.  

That is just simple thinking.  Pretty hard for the millions in the cities and towns to dig their own wells and build their own outhouses if we just get rid  of government.  Of course they don't think of this when they scream that government is just stealing their money. 

In this matter some right wing freaks in the 30's got us in this mess and now it has to be taken care of.
