Eliminating 99% of government services might have unforeseen consequences. Consider this: back in the 19th century, before many of our current government services existed, the burden of providing for the poor, educating children, and maintaining order often fell to private charities, churches, or the community. This system was far from perfect and often led to vast inequalities and inefficiencies.
Before the establishment of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1906, there were no federal controls over what could be sold as food and medicine. This led to rampant fraud and the sale of… Read more

Literally every program you mentioned I hate. Show me where any of them are authorized in the Constitution, show me proof that they've done anything good. Unlike you statists, I do not believe the benefits of government programs can exceed the costs, hidden as well as visible. These programs all had hidden costs. I support the Constitution and will not even consider anything not mentioned in it. See, I have a basis for my principles -- The Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and Bible. Yours is do whatever appears necessary at the time.

What exactly is the "price" of providing for society..? Is that not the sole purpose of public programs: to provide for the public? Why should it even have a cost, much less to be profitable?
Also, it's pretty hypocritical and ironic that you hate other people for being statists while you proclaim to dogmatically founding your entire ideology around what are literally state documents and the Christian version of sharia law...

Notice it's freedom OF worship, not freedom FROM worship, just because Christianity should be taught doesn't mean I want to force you to convert. Oh the terror! Oh the tyranny! We want merit, we want to stop murder! How evil of us, lol. Also for every government program there's a private way of doing it that's at least 10x better. I hate government and want to fight it.

Are you suggesting that you don't believe in the right to freedom from worship? Just as you have the freedom to follow and practice any religion, shouldn't others also be guaranteed the freedom FROM your religious practices and laws? If you agree that no one should be enforced to abide by the personal beliefs of others, then surely you DO believe in the freedom from religion just as much as the freedom of religion, right..?
Secondly, if you think there's a private way of doing public programs better, then you've already completely misunderstood the entire point of public programs. Public programs are meant to provide for the publicRead more
