Fools who think that going back to what Hobbes' terms the "state of nature" would work out well for them.

There is a certain intellectual laziness about it ... rather than participating in the creation and maintenance of a civic culture capable of determining what should be a public good and then deliberating on how best to provide it (how much it should cost and how it should be delivered is part of that) they can roll out a slogan that sounds good when you feel you're paying too much and getting too little.

This is easiest when you deny or remain ignorant about the true cost of the services being provided to you ... As Kevin Love notes roads are an example of that.
