In our free market economy, the government at best is a nuisance, at worst an obstacle.

The government CREATED our free market economy. Who the hell do you think prints the money? Without the government you would be bartering potatoes for green beans.

The people are the country. Free people are not owned or controlled by the government. The government is a structure, a necessary evil, which exists only to provide for an orderly society and for the defense of the people's liberties.

Of course they don't own us, we own them. They reflect us in every way. What you want anarchy?

I realize that some people, in particular those who receive checks from the government every month, don't agree with this libertarian view of good government. They are the takers, not the producers.

Without government you couldn't get from point A to point B. You would be a peasant. You couldn't produce your way out of a paper bag.

And on top of everything you sound like a freaking programmed robot.
