"Do you think happiness comes from the government meeting your every need and want?"
He didn't say that, so your premise is false.
"Every need"? He didn't say that.
You try your best to falsify your opponent's actual words.
They may slip by many, but not me.

<<No. That's a great criteria. Do you think happiness comes from the government meeting your every need and want?>.

You talk in absolutes. That is your problem. No, not meet your every need and want, but I think a society that works together is happier.

Take it down to the tribal level. You are a great hunter but selfish. Society makes you share your kill and you resent it.

But then you break your leg. The tribal medicine person fixes your leg and cares for you and others hunt for you while you are mending.
