That is your best argument?

Sorry, Friedman should have been discredited with the global meltdown in 2009.

While you might argue that government doesn't produce anything, and that isn't always true, what it does do is provide a framework so that things can be produced. It provides protection, both police and military, a court system and regulations to protect citizens from excess and should provide a level playing field. The latter has been a problem since the Reagan era, lobbyists have used money to favor some companies over others. That needs to change.
