People pay for government services through taxes and if enough of them were sufficiently unsatisfied for a long enough time there would be a revolution of some sort. It’s not as easy to connect the dots as it is in an open marketplace but suggesting a government does not or cannot produce value is absurd.
- moralsupply 7y ago> if enough of them were sufficiently unsatisfied for a long enough time there would be a revolution of some sort That's precisely what has been happening periodically since we started having governments and states (around 8000-10000 years ago). One way to measure the value of a government is to estimate how much people would voluntarily pay for the government services if they were not forced through taxation and inflation. As governments are highly inefficient and bloated, most likely nobody would pay the services they provide, and would prefer more efficient free market alternatives if they had a choice. Now, governments still have to give something back in order to avoid an instant revolt. Modern governments do that through debt spending, meaning: they make the future generations pay (through debt) for the "economic growth" that the current generation enjoys.
