What is the role of government?

[DerickM 1]

Here is a short list of questions to answer regarding the role of government. Doesn't matter which country you live in, just answer however you believe.

My answers will be tailored to the United States government. If you live somewhere else, tailor accordingly.

1) What specific role(s) should the government always play in society?

2) What specific role(s) should the government never fill in society?

3) What roles are you unsure of, or could depend in your mind on situational factors?

4) A corollary - given that set of roles, how should the government fund its efforts to fulfill those obligations?
