I agree that government is necessary to society. I also agree with the fact that taxes are necessary. I would like to add the fact that taxes also regulate the building of roads. This makes driving safer and reduces damage to motor vehicles via potholes and other imperfections in roadways. Another point I agree with is that the government is necessary to regulate the distribution of money. This is important because without the regulation of the distribution of money, there could be a significant rise in inflation at anytime.

I believe that a government is necessary. The reason I believe this is that I think that the pros of having a government out-weigh the cons. One of the positive factors of having is government it the protection provided to the citizens from outside threats. Another pro of having a government would be the fact that having a government enforces laws that protect the people from internal threats, and punish people for acts of robbery, murder, thievery, etc. This would also keep the people of the country happier because of the reduced crime rate. The reduced crime rate would also increase the average lifespan of citizens. Some of the other positives that come with a government include the government regulation of products such as food and water. If there was no regulation of water, our own drinking water could have a high lead content, low pH, or contamination from bacteria. If food were not regulated, fruits and vegetables could contain a harmful amount of pesticides, and other products at the store could be expired, and there would be no way of knowing. In addition to this, there would be no health care system. This would mean that if people were to become ill with a life threatening disease, not only would there would be no way of treating it, there wouldn't even be a way to find out what illness it was. All in all, due to the reasons listed previously, I believe that with a government, a country is in a more advantageous position than if the country did not have a government.
