Does a car with 4 wheels exceed requirements of minimal? Who operates a payment service without handling fraud? Can you operste a postal service without handling fraud?

Do roads create revenue?

Like you are fee to argue that its not worth it, but government services do not need to charge fees, rhey can create economic growth and get the money back through taxes
