Your assertion that I am a "he" is not only insulting, but completely wrong.
The next time the "government" comes to your rescue in the form of the fire department or the police department or the FAA or your Medicare policy or your Social Security, just to name a few, I'll assume that you will tell them that government is the problem & not the solution & refuse their services in your time of need. I also assume that, since you believe gov't is the problem & not the solution, you send back your monthly Social Security check (if you are of a qualifying age to receive that gov't provided help) and that you are not using Medicare coverage of any kind (again, assuming that you are of a qualifying age to receive that gov't provided help).
Since you believe that gov't is the problem & not the solution, I'll assume then that you aren't so much concerned with constitutional guarentees of life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness or the freedoms that we Americans hold so dear? After all, who do you think guarentees and provides for the protections of those freedoms and liberties? Surely not the big, bad evil gov't!
Since you believe that gov't is the problem & not the solution, I'll assume then that you wouldn't mind the complete dismantling of the US armed forces. After all, what entity is responsible for ensuring that there is a military force to protect our constitution & what it provides to all citizens and defend our liberties & freedoms? Surely not the big, bad evil gov't!
Finally, I'm also assuming that since you believe gov't is the problem & not the solution that you do not exercise your constitutional right to vote for your elected gov't representation. After all, we have (or at least the original plan was to have) a gov't "of, by & for the people". So does that mean you ultimately believe that the people are the problem? If so, sounds like you would prefer to live somewhere else, perhaps in a country like China, which is a Communist dictatorship? Hmmm.....
