Wrong. The real problem is the human greed, anger, and envy that make government necessary in the first place.
It was human greed that led Europeans to engage in the practice of enslaving Africans for profit. It was government that put an end to that. It was human greed that led to the proliferation of counterfeit, contaminated, diluted, and decomposed drugs. It was government that put and end to that. It was human greed that led to the exploitation of young children for the sake of cheap labor. It was government that put and end to that.
The problem with your response is that although you correctly pointed out that government currently has too much influence over our lives, you failed to correctly identify the underlying cause of the problem. As a result of this, your response would have us believe that simply reducing the influence of government will solve the problem, and that simply is not true. While we do need to reduce government influence in some instances, it should be done in such a way that US citizens are protected from the power that wealthy people, which left unchecked, have to inflict unjust suffering on not only the citizens of the US, but the entire world as well.
It is certainly problematic that wealthy individuals currently have too much control over the political system. What is needed is effective mechanisms, e.g. laws, to limit that influence.
