Re: purpose of government
The only valid purpose for government it to protect the individual rights and freedoms of every citizen. When the endanger those rights and freedoms they are no longer governing - they are ruling.The Dragon sees infinity and those it touches are forced to feel the reality of it.

Re: purpose of government
Use raised tax dollars and their budget to create viable infrastructure, a healthcare system, public works programs, social programs, regulate corporations, legislate sensible laws, essentially to make sure life easier and protect the citizen.

Re: purpose of government
I agree with this. Government should be there to use tax wisely for the benefit of all. If not, then we may as well not have it at all. If we are going to have it, it should be of collective benefit.I'm not one to ever pray for mercy
Or to wish on pennies in the fountain or the shrine
But that day you know I left my money
And I thought of you only

Re: purpose of government
To do what is in the best interest of all people under their governing. To use the latest technology for medicine, education, and agriculture. To use what resources are not needed for their own country to help other countries, this includes monetary and technological. To protect and uphold the original Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence. To inform its people where and why its taxes are being used and to protect and uphold equal opportunity, this includes education, healthcare, and employment.
To have a military and police force to protect its people from threats and to lend a helping hand but only if it is direly needed to foreign countries. To have a military and police force built upon community values and compassion - we can still have an elite military and police force trained in combat and black operations without tearing their hearts from their chests and their love from their souls. Basically, "For the People, By the People" and "To Serve and Protect."

Re: purpose of government
The purpose of the government is to govern: i.e. - Conduct the policy, actions, and affairs of (a state, organization, or people).
People tend expect a government to do more for them than they are willing to do for themselves, though, so the role of the government has been expanded into that of care giver and private nurse.Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.
