Without our great government, the wonderful USA, you would live in a hut and scavenge for a daily meal.

You equate government with USA? You can't be serious. Last I checked, the entire philosophy behind the founding of the USA was indeed a rejection of the European tradition of strong central governments, with their propensity to deteriorate (or, perhaps more correctly - naturally evolve) into empires and dictatorships. Founders of the US opted for limiting powers of central government, and it worked. For a long time, anyway.

Nice, kind, benevolent dictatorship is still a dictatorship. You can never know which way its mood may change down the road.
