Spot on!
Nock's "My Enemy the State" is helpful in this. He makes a distinction between the state (coercion) and government (administration), pointing out that the latter is pretty much necessary in any society while the former certainly is not. I would tend to agree. We don't need rulers. But it is helpful to appoint administrators. So I would say that the state sucks, but am pretty agnostic about the government.
The lack of accountability is abhorrent. And their bureaucratic nightmare that feeds on the lives of those enslaved to it.
Recognizing the problem is one thing. What's the answer for those who understand and love freedom?
