It's pretty simple. Taking money out of the sector where wealth is created destroys wealth. The private sector is where wealth is created, and the government takes money out of the private sector. It doesn't matter how you phrase the question or what example you give.
Refute my examples. Stop hiding behind ludicrous infantile generalities.
I don't need to refute your individual examples as they all fall under the same category, government spending. Government takes resources out of the private sector and puts it somewhere where there is little or no demand, otherwise the private sector would have taken care of that demand in the first place. Secondly, without a proper profit and loss mechanism the government is going to inevitably waste resources which is, of course, destruction of wealth.
There is no demand for law enforcement in this country? Education? Roads?
