A Day Without Government

This Tax Day, imagine what a day without government would look like in North Carolina: no public schools, no traffic lights, no restaurant sanitation ratings...no UNC basketball.

Take a moment today to think about what your tax dollars pay for.

What a crock of shit.

Tom Woods would have a field day with the assumptions here. Check out his website and prepare to have your mind blown.

It would be a huge mess without gov.Yea private company's could do the same things but they would be run their own way,without rules or consequence it would be so screwed up all you anti gov people would beg for the gov back.Gov steps a little too far sometimes but the true answer is not get rid of gov,the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Stupidist video ever. Just because an industry is taken over by force does not mean nobody else could provide it. If there is demand for something, there is incentive to supply it. If tomorrow Microsoft and Apple ceased to exist, it would be inconvenient too. Does that mean these companies should help themselves to your bank account? Software wouldn't exist without them right? Perhaps every 4 years the whole country should vote between the two, and the winner provide ALL IT services.

"regulations" (ie. a group of politicians writing down some words on some paper) do not magically make your water clean and they don't magically make your brakes work properly. All those things need to be paid for. If you receive them now but don't pay for them, you are either robbing someone or forcing a slave to do it for you for free. If you pay for it now, you could as well pay for it without the government.

Wow! That sucks. You can't get away from the oppression of government. :/ Tell me, were there at least private alternatives back then, and did the government coerce you in to paying for those government goods and services even if you didn't use them or like how they operate, like they do today?

Even the cowboys had government, pardner. Pony Express. Stagecoaches. Marshalls. Etc.

[bluesyrastapunkraver]

We're all just so helpless without government. I wonder how miserable the cowboys of the wild west must have been without them, and how they survived...

[Jon Harms]

Wow... Tom Woods would go crazy!

Should have started with water being brown because of no water regulations, then showing a car whose brakes fail due to no regulations, charging down a pothole filled street before ramming into the back of cars at a toll booth needed to pay for the private road. The inclusion of the roach infested lunch was good, as was the lack of school. Who cares, though about basketball? How about sick kids waiting at a hospital because too few doctors being trained due to no public universities?
