Good Government? A Challenge to Readers (Redux)

This is a challenge I post periodically* in hopes that someone will show me to be in error. I maintain that most of the work of government is destructive to liberty and civil society, and that it leads to unnecessary complication in the lives of citizens. To be clear, I do not assert that government does nothing useful or reasonably well, so long as it is within the scope of its enumerated powers.

Government is a necessary evil, but it is still an evil, and -- as such -- it should be (but is not) minimized. In forming a government we enter a bargain to exchange some part of our liberty for a collective entity that provides for our essential security and the essential conditions for our prosperity. When that entity exceeds in size and power its limited mandate, it correspondingly usurps individual liberty. Simply stated, liberty is inversely proportional to the size of government.
In the best interests of a polity a balance must be struck. Precisely how that is done leaves room for debate, but when the scale tips in favor of government, as, unchecked, it inevitably will, it threatens to destroy the foundations of the very civil society that enabled the creation of government.

We are now well beyond the point where government has tipped the scales in its favor, and what civil society created to serve its interests has become its master.

So here is the challenge: Cite one example of a serious problem in contemporary society -- social, political or economic -- that is not caused by or exacerbated by government.

Say it isn't so....

The last time in July. If I can't provoke a response this time (don't expect to), I'll just let it go. Still, it might lead to some interesting discussion...
