"/me not relying on GUMMINT for my success. nope. FAT CHANCE getting anything FROM gummint, anyway. All they do is TAKE, and give to those who do NOT deserve it."
Yeah, I pay my bloody taxes, and all I get is safety, security and infrastructure. Healthcare too, but YMMV on that.
I have friends and neighbors who have fled warzones. They can give you a VERY long list of things that they are grateful to the GUMMINT for. Starting with not rounding them up and shooting them.
Mainly the government ensures that you can live in the wealthiest 20% of the worlds population.
Oh, and corporate welfare is total bullshit, whatever your political ideology. Worst aspects of communism and market capitalism combined. It could work on a small scale, since stopping SMEs dying in the first five years is probably worth more than keeping any mega corp going.
