The problem, with both flstf's and Master_Shake's arguments, is that, we are not slaves, we are free and we have a say in which politicians we choose, which means we have a say in what rules those politicians make. If there's any problem in contemporary government, it's that it's TOO responsive to the desires of the citizens. You (flstf) say you don't want roads; well, how do you expect to be able to get to work?
