By the way, since when is the government giving everyone food, housing, internet access, transportation, and medical care? I was under the impression that all of those can just as easily be gotten with your own money, FAR superior to what they supply in every case. Unless you are referring to the fact that they even allow us to have it, which would never be the case, because aforementioned civil war would have happened long before that point.

The government doesn't give people those things (at least not in the USA). But the government is what makes "your own money" have any value... Not any specific government, but the institutions of the State, and various world regulatory bodies, make it so that you can sit in your home in America and order a magazine from Japan, and through the magic of international banking and intercontinental shipping, the Japanese publisher gets their money and you get the magazine, neither getting hijacked on the high seas. Or, you can buy medication and be reasonably certain that it contains what the wrapper says, and you can look it up in libraries or online and see what studies have been done on that medication. Unlike, say, various "snake oils" of the past.
In short, I'm talking about civilization. Governments come and go, but they all share the basic premise: they keep things running more-or-less smoothly for the common people, and in return the people in charge get a bigger piece of the pie.

You are talking about a complete overhaul of this "unfair" system that is as old as humanity. Hell, way older. As old as herd or pack animals, actually. You agree with me, apparently, that nothing less would make America truly "free". But, well, I'm thinking that while anarchy would be easy to create (read any post-apocalyptic story), a "better world" is quite the elusive 30% mainstat. Or even 36%.
