No, government will not suffer more than the community, for government
is an instrument of the community.

Oh come on, do you really believe this? Look around you and point at a single example of where community wouldn't be better off without government. Government is a parasite, not even a symbiont.

P.S. Sorry, couldn't resist. Spring, and all...
