No, the primary purpose of government is create a flourishing society for its citizens.

Here's a list of places without government:

Places like Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan, Chad or Haiti have little or no government in place. Would you live there?

What about the places on the bottom of this list - places with big government - like Finland, Iceland, New Zealand or Canada?

It would be nice to have an adult discussion once in a while on the Internet, and not constantly having to fight against delusional ideas, ideas of such astonishing puerility that it's hard to believe even one adult subscribes to them.

Here here. Also, if there weren’t red tape, then there would be more corruption and lack of accountability. The staff of agencies are damned if they do, damned if they don’t. If one wants to critique government agencies, criticize the political appointees who are in thrall to the industries they are supposed to be regulating. The rank and file generally work hard and in good faith. They are just trying to be good stewards of public resources. I’ve seen this at the federal level and state levels (primarily in North Carolina and Louisiana).
