* Law enforcement is overrated. Jails too. Gangs and other forms of organized crime can keep the peace just fine. * I'm thinking the roads in my State are too well maintained too. * I haven't seen any fires in my neighborhood, so get rid of the Fire Department. * Sewage systems and trash pick-up are over-rated too. There you go, lower taxes. Enjoy your crime-riddled, trash-stinking utopia.
Apologies for picking nits, but I live in upstate NY and our garbage collection is privately owned. It works quite well, thank you.
BTW, you just illustrated exactly what the GP was talking about - cherry-picking the most basic government services as emotionally-charged poster children for why government "can't possibly" be reduced.
