    In a word: no. That’s not how a representative democracy works.

    Name a public service you cannot live without. I’m going to say the ambulance service. So when I crash my Ferrari into a concrete pillar, they take me to the hospital and I survive. It would be a shame if the service had been closed due to a lack of funding. All because a group of entitled, predominantly male libertarians had run a campaign to withhold tax money for this supposedly useless service based on the fact that they never needed an ambulance in their life.
