That says promote, not provide.
Of course the government does not provide health care, military budgets, or Social Security. We, the tax payers provide all of those things with the taxes we pay. The government promotes the structure that collects the taxes and provide the disbursement of the money to the sytems that we, as a representative government, have put into place.
