A Life without Goverment

     What would life be like without government? Some people believe that the government has too much power and they sometimes abuse that power. Others think the laws and regulations of the government are not fair or do not meet their expectations of what they think their American freedom should be. All these people have one thing in common, they do not stop and think about what their lives would be like without a government, they all assume they would be better off completley free. In my opinion, that's not the case.

      Without government, our every day lives would change dramatically. Our education, our crime rate, and daily necessities. It is because of taxes that childern K-12 can get a public education. If humans had the choice not to pay taxes, there would be no way to build and support a system. Imagine living a life knowing absolulety nothing, not knowing how to read or write. The government I able to give us an education system. Crime rates would also go up due to lack of government. Police officers, jails and laws would not exist. Murder, robbery, bribery, underage drinking and anything illegal would no longer be illegal... But it would be frowned upon most likely, I would hope. There would be complete anarchy with no laws being enforced. Lastly, our daily necessities would be effected. Our water supply is payed to be purified by our taxes to our local government, withou this government we would have no clean water supply. The foods we eat daily would be tainted with who knows what because there would be no government to say what is okay and not okay to include in our food. Our health would change due to no government. 

     I'm not saying we could not survive without a government, I'm just saying that living our entire lives with laws and authority figures is not as bad as people make it seem. Nowadays I think that humans, especially Americans are being ungrateful towards our government. They find the need to criticize and ridicule our nations government system because there is something better they could get out of being an American. The fact of the matter is, we have a government, yes we pay taxes and have strict laws, but the government is not going anywhere so why not just deal with it the best we can?
