I think government as we know it today is morally reprehensible at its very foundations, and that it cannot be reformed into anything that isn't reprehensible and can still be called government. Therefore, I'm agin' it. Period.
Government is by nature evil, but it's less evil than any practical alternative (i.e., various forms of the unrestrained state), so the best approach to this dilemma would be to institute government in such a way as to maximize liberty and minimize the concentration of state power (thus minimizing the potential for corruption). Government, at least in part, constitutes an effort to restrain the state by application of law for the purpose of maximizing liberty. That is how (by and large) the Founding Fathers understood it, and I agree.
