Government produces nothing? 

Except clean roads, roads to clean, schools, safe water, nation security, and a list of things far to vast to state here, which of those are you going to decide not to pay for and not make use of?

You can vote with your feet and move out of the city of petition it to remove the garbage fee. That is how democracy works, and you are just being complicit if you don't attempt to change it or move.

The private sector does things better and less expensive is what I keep hearing, I want some proof. Where is your proof that the government is always worse than the private sector? It seems to me that the government constantly has to step in an explain to business that people don't like toxic things in their water, to stop poisoning the air, and to respect the land they use.

This idea that the private sector is the cure all for everything is born of anti-government paranoia and a vast ignorance of how and what the government does.
