Stephanie -- and yes indeedy, the government is not some more or less expendable thing that's inherently evil and wasteful -- it is necessary, law is necessary; and in particular it is the only instrumentality available to the broader citizenry to constrain the excesses of, and at least to some extent counteract the otherwise inexorable further and further concentration of, private wealth/capital/power -- it is eternally up to the citizens to see to it that the government works and works well for the good of all, not just for the few, however disadvantaged the broader citizenry may be in doing so where private wealth/capital/power is already highly concentrated and already deeply entrenched in the political debate and the corridors of political power -- but to then conceptually turn on the government as such is both logically and practically nihilistic -- just cuz you're pissed the concentrated wealth/capital/power has had quite the grip on the government for awhile now, you don't then change course to dismantle/destroy the capabilities of the only instrumentality, the only weapon, that you could use -- tough as it may be, life not being fair and all that, you simply gotta regain control of it and make it do what needs doing -- and hang on to it -- forever and ever -- that's just the friggin' deal
