Quite frankly, isn't that what all of government boils down to?


If a government's job isn't at its most basic level to keep its people alive and thriving, then what is its purpose? Governments exist because people agreed that they made things better than living in tribes. In this case you can argue that alive and thriving might be in competition at the moment. But why do we provide a military, build roads and schools, and so many other things if the goal isn't to extend life and make it better for people?
