Seeing since the average person works until June 1st for free, yes. They are out of control.

America's Tax revenue as a percentage of GDP was actually the fourth lowest in the OECD in 2013. And besides, an armed forces, police, education, a working democracy, welfare and a functioning infrastructure aren't free.

armed forces

Coming from someone going into them, we could do a whole lot better with a whole lot less.

police

Fucking sucks in the US lately

education

We're getting pretty crappy compared to other developed nations.

a working democracy

Doesn't need money. Actually, it needs less of it in government.

welfare

Charity works multitudes better than government welfare. Also, why should I be forced to pay for someone else?

functioning infrastructure

I forgot about all those projects that the federal government let the private sector partake in to build their own...oh wait.

Oh yes, the entire process for voting is entirely free. Also, government officials require no money, they live off the ballots.

Voting requires paper and someone to count it.

And you seem to be under the impression that we need a government have democracy.

And buildings for voting to take place.

Democracy = Government

Direct democracy? Everybody is a part of the government, the system of governance.

Democracy =! A federal government.

Also, TIL that private entities can't build buildings.

Democracy = central government. The federal government we've got is pretty much the best one. As sad as that may be, it's true.

The government (federal, state, and local) often contracts building projects and infrastructure repairs to private entities.

And there are a lot of things that private entities can't really provide. I'd love to see a privately owned, managed, and repaired interstate system. Privately owned money would be cool, too. Why bother selling stuff when you can just print more?

Even with the majority of things that private companies can provide, there are still regulations that need to be implemented to keep the company from A: taking advantage of the people (monopoly) B: damaging other corporations, individuals, or the environment.
