I understand your overall argument, but respectfully disagree. As you said “slaves to money”, and how we wouldn’t spend our lives based around it, you have to realize that money is just a concept. No matter what we will need some system of trade or else what will we do? Money is just a simpler version than to actually physically trade things. And you talk about how the government is taking away our right to bear arms, but that is to protect us. Our country has the highest amount of shootings this year and it’s not even the end of the year yet. We can’t have violence like that, and with no government I’m sure the amount of violence would increase because there would be no punishment. You say that we would be free to learn whatever we choose, but if teachers could teach how they want then how could we be sure they will teach us what we want to learn? Along with this, it is important to learn so that your brain can function properly throughout your life. Saying that “we could pursue whatever career we find interest in” is contradictory to the idea of no government. Workihg would not be very stable if there is no government to regulate or make sure you are doing what you’re supposed to, and that you are getting back what you are putting in. When you state that freedom of speech is denied our country because it creates problems with other people, that has nothing to do with the government. No matter where you live or if there is a government or not, if you say something that others don’t like they will go against it.

I believe that life under a government is safer, much easier, and very necessary. The purpose of government is to keep things in order and to help its country/state/nation from falling apart. Without a government in charge, the economy would be completely messed up. There would be no regulations on a minimum wage or any sort of way to make sure that people are properly getting paid; that is if they are even working. Another issue without the government would be violence. There is a lot of hatred in the world usually accompanied with discrimination, and people would most likely take more action if there wasn’t law enforcement. Law enforcement is the main reason that we live in a semi stable country. Without it, there would be constant chaos and people would not get punished for their actions in the way that they should be. Although there are some positives to having no government, such as free will, possibly less worries, and not as much controversy, we need the government for protection above all. Without it, we could be in constant war without having a defined army to defend us. Therefore, the government is a necessity of life.
