Answer in two words? Corporate interests.

 

It's not that simple.  Most people wouldn't benefit if you reduce government involvement in my list below (Granted I do think there should be a debate on whether it is a federal or state issue):

 

  • Education, including funding grants and loans for higher education.
  • Interstate highways, rail roads, water way management.
  • Subsidising children's health care, as many states do.
  • Social Security, most people benefit from it.


I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
