Government programs are not really socialist. Some may be but not all. Government is assigned to do things we can't possibly organize ourselves such as roads, police, public utilities and so on. It would be very difficult for people to arrange trash pickup without government. Here they place it on your property taxes because when they tried to send a bill to people, they claimed they didn't use the trash system, and just put their trash on other peoples lawns.
I didn't mention one government function. Everything I mentioned could be stopped tomorrow and we would still have a properly functioning government. We'd have some very angry people and possibly violent anarchy but that is just organized theft of the masses.
