Are you arguing there are no bullshit, make-work government jobs? What a strange thing to bring up, a bit of a slip.

Then again, of course there are good, hard working people in government. Lots of them. Does it need to be said?

Then again, of course there are 0% contribution parasites, evil Machiavellian scoundrels, and power mad bureaucrats in government. Lots of them. Does it need to be said?

"Government can do some good" is, in my opinion, grug philosophy. It assumes people in government are upstanding like they insist they are, have fine intentions and won't be bought or compromised, or have ethical standards that are same as ours.
