I respectfully disagree with your statement and claims. Even though taxes and taxation is generally viewed as a negative aspect of the government, it is actually used to help better some parts of society. For example, taxes help pay for an improved roadwork and sewer system. In addition, the government isn’t taking away the people’s rights, but rather modifying them to help prevent dangerous situations from occurring. As you stated, the right to bear arms is a very controversial law that, if it would be changed in the future, could help prevent horrendous events, such as school shootings from happening. If there is no government to enforce an educational experience, I believe that students would most likely not learn, due to the tedious and “boring” aspect of school and learning. Also, I believe that crime would sky-rocket, since there is no government and no laws to enforce safety and order. Furthermore, money would become more of a concern, as there would be no united currency to exchange, since the government can’t produce it. Finally, I respectfully believe that there is a difference between “Freedom Of Speech” and stating what is politically correct. Although you would have more of an extended “Freedom Of Speech” without a government, you would still want to obey the moral expectations and rules of society.

I firmly believe that a government is a necessary component for a nation to function properly, therefore, I would rather live in a society with a government. First of all, a government lays down the fundamental laws and regulations of society that help to keep a nation organized. For instance, laws that are stated in the the U.S. Constitution guarantee people’s basic freedoms, such as freedom of speech, religion, and the press. Other laws help keep society in order, like laws that protect people from discrimination because of race, gender, age, or because of a disability. Moreover, there are many laws that prevent and punish intentional crime, such as robbery, murder, and theft, so a nation can remain peaceful and orderly. Secondly, governments finance many projects, utilizing the tax system, that are necessary to the common good and to better society. Examples include funding waterways, sewers, electricity, roadways and other transportation mechanisms, and education, to all make society a better place for people to live in. Another reason why I would prefer to live in a society with a government is that governments enforce a strong military to keep the public safe from many dangerous acts. Anything from firefighters and police officers to the United States Marine Corps is enforced by a strong government. All these protective services are created and enforced by the government to ensure that society is safe from any conflicts in and out of the nation. A government cares for its population and would do anything to protect the people that make up the country. Finally, a government allows citizens to receive a fair and just opportunity when they have been charged with committing a crime. They are entitled to a trial to prove their innocence or guilt. Everyone living in a nation is equal, so it is only fair that everyone is treated the same way when faced with conflicts, which is exactly what a government encourages and promotes. All in all, I would rather live under a nation with a government, since a government: provides a country with order and peace, finances many national projects that are important to the general welfare, protects a country from chaos and mayhem, and gives all citizens the same judicial support.
