I agree with you, less is more when it comes to government. But since we are stating facts now, our Government does make up close to 20% of our economy. And we do in fact depend on our Government for many things in our daily lives.

If you want to say pledging allegiance to the flag is pledging allegiance to our government - fine - but it is also pledging allegiance to the People that make up our democracy. I’m happy and proud to pledge allegiance to the whole damn thing. Even though I haven’t done so since elementary school haha.
