Those who argue that government is the problem would probably argue that governments are bad because they tend to be bad at governing. I can't say that I entirely disagree with that. Smart governance is difficult to achieve. Many times it feels futile. Of course, I don't think the solution is to have little or no governance, but I can definitely appreciate the skepticism of a government that is large, powerful, corrupt and incompetent.
