You know what the government does? Hell, look what they did to me, they took my money and gave some of it to people who don't have all the socioeconomical advantadges that I was born with!!! Then they went and gave some of it to schools to educate children!!! Then they gave some of it to the community for beautification and facilities that benefit me every day of the week!!! Then they gave some of it to keep roads that I use every day paved, police and firefighters who keep my neighborhood safe paid, and the post office which I also use on a regular basis running. What reason could I possibly have to trust the government, those motherless ********!!!

Exactly.
These days, the Tea Party movement is the big deal, with its anti-big government rallies and its accusations that Obama is a socialist. Given that the average age of a Tea Party member is in the mid-40s and early 50s, I wonder what their tune will be in a few years, when they retire. If they're so set on limited government and an end to "state-sponsored socialism," I hope they're ready to give up their Social Security check, their Medicare A coverage, and the wheelchair ramps and handicapped parking spots that came from ADA.
If you want limited government, you have to be ready to give up the services. So, if a tornado, a flood, or a hurricane comes to visit your town, you're on your own. If Goldman Sachs torpedoes your 401(k) because of its shady dealings, don't go crying to the SEC. You're on your own.
If you're not willing to pay the taxes for the services, don't expect them to be there when you need them. And, yes, some day, you will need them.
