This is a big and fundamental subject, and we could expand on it forever, which would not be... practical. Agreed. Just one point: "hate government movement" is a straw man. It is not a matter of hating it, but rather of keeping it from expanding into areas which are beyond it's core competencies. Of keeping it from usurping more powers than it is allowed by our Constitution. It's quite possible that 'hate government' is a straw man as it relates to you... but there are a lot of folks that really do hate government. Most of the communal stuff that the government does was never invisioned in the constitution (build and manage airports). And frankly governments core competency is doing 1000's of things at the same time, and yes contrating most out to the public sector. Few private companies do more than one or two things well... government does 1000's of things pretty well.
