I would agree that government has a role: make the playing field free from government intervention into the marketplaces in lieu of letting the individual pursue their dreams and goals without fetters. This will produce the widest offerings of "public good" (i.e. Edison - the electric light bulb, Alexander Graham Bell - the telephone, the Wright Brothers - air flight, and on and on). This is the role of good government.
A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government....Thomas Jefferson
