But the other interesting comment you make is the government isn’t a day care. I’d argue that fundamentally the role of government is a daycare.
Security is clearly is government responsibility. Between military and policing ensuring the safety of citizens is the role of government responsibility
Determine who is aloud in a country is the role of government.
When people get boo boos the health care system fixes them. Unless you are arguing against a government funded health care system this is the role of government
The state provides education for its citizens unless of course you are against that.
Quite frankly the government is a daycare service to its citizens. You likely enjoy many aspects of this daycare service. The governments role is to remove obstacles that create risk to citizens accomplishing their goals. If the government is in charge of security, education, health care and minimum incomes how aren’t they a day care.

Touche, certainly you can argue to a certain extent that the goverment is a daycare and streeeeetch it out even more. Not going disagree on that point. I was more talking about goverments who think they can fix every problem known to humans vs providing some value for the truck loads of money some of us send them, which seems to be your point.
Your location says California, if you still there live, you have a elected officials in that state from mayors/DAs and a governor who would slot nicely with the Federal NDP. Most of them lost their jobs because like i said above..the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Certainly policy isn't the ONLY reason for #### hitting the fan but sometimes it just makes certain issues worse. And that is exactly what happened.
In Europe, the crazy ####ing wealth tax was tried and failed for a variety different reasons.
