The role of government is also capturing and charging for negative externalities.

From my town to the state to the federal government NONE of the government entities that affect me have that or anything like it in their charter, mission statement or other rules that define their responsibility.

It isn't. There are lots of negative externalities that the government doesn't get involved in.
