I like government because ... I am suspicious of somebody else

If government does less, than somebody else does more.  The tasks that government performs won’t all vanish.  Some will, for better or for worse ... I tend to think worse.  The rest will be picked up by somebody else.  Call somebody else whatever you want to.  Call it the free market.  It is still somebody else.  I am less likely to know who somebody else is.  I don’t elect somebody else.  Somebody else’s main concern is somebody else.  Maybe that’s good enough for somebody else, but it just isn’t good enough for me.
