But that's a different argument. You haven't shown any fault in my reasoning other than calling it meaningless. There may be arguments for why government shouldn't be able to give you everything (for example, the ones in your post), but "because then they can take everything away" isn't it, since every government in the world can already do that, both in theory and in practice.
