I'm starting to question whether government is a "necessary evil," but what I've never questioned is that it is, in fact, evil. People need to start from that base line when they think about their relationship with government.

In it's basic form, I can't see it as an evil. Either people will control their bases instincts or it has to be done for them. At the very least some form of govt secures and defends basic rights. It is possible for a govt to govern justly. And when it does, it can be a good. And when the people can't self-govern because they have become retarded, it is a good in that it keeps them from going completely off the rails. We are just in a bad era thanks to fiat money.
I agree. But the baseline isn't that govt is evil. The baseline is that people are fallen and have evil in their hearts.
