What government functions/services are people willing to have cut back (or eliminated) in order for taxes to be lowered?

[/ QUOTE ]

All of them, except for:

1) Police
2) Small reserve military
3) Judiciary

Then we can talk about privatizing the preceding three as well.

[/ QUOTE ]
Do you think that this is realistic for a country this size?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's not a matter of "size" but rather of the dominant political philosophy.

[/ QUOTE ]
So in your mind all of these functions can be carried out by private institutions or individual citizens?
