A critique of "A Guide to Rebutting Right-Wing Criticisms of Government"

I will start my critique of governmentisgood.com. I will start with its supposedly "Conservative critisms.

"Government is inept and most government policies fail. "
"A look at the record shows that most government programs work well and have helped considerably to mitigate society’s problems and improve our lives."
By what standard do you know this? The reason most government problems fail is that there is no way to know if the needs of the consumer are being met. A private business, with the tools of profit and loss, can obtain the data reliably.

"Bureaucracies are immensely wasteful."
"Studies show that most government bureaucracies are not very wasteful."
By what studies? Bureaucracies are immensely wasteful because they have no profit/loss test to determine if they are being wasteful or not.

"Government only interferes with the efficient operation of a market economy. Capitalism would be better off without government."
"Free-market capitalism could not exist without an active government that provides the extensive legal infrastructure that creates and regulates markets and that enables corporations to do business."
In a free market, if people need a legal system, they can hire others to provide that service. Markets, in addition, are self-regulating, and do not need a government to "regulate" them.

"Government is the problem. Its programs create more problems than they solve."
"Government policies are the source of few of our serious societal problems. Problems like poverty, pollution, and lack of health care have their sources in the private sector – not the public sector."
Actually, you got it backwards. Government action creates societal problems in its attempt to solve others. An example is minimum wage (creates unemployment). The private sector is the source of effective solutions to problems like poverty, pollution, and lack of health care, not the public sector.

"The more government programs we have, the less freedom we have."
"Most government programs – such as fire protection, building roads, food stamps, public education, funding scientific research, and Social Security – do virtually nothing to restrict our individual freedoms."
While the ends achieved by government action, such as the ones listed above, don't restrict freedom, the means that government persues to achieve these ends, taxation, and inflation with people being forced to trade with the dollar, violate freedom.

"The main threat to our civil liberties comes from big government."
"Government can sometimes threaten our civil liberties. But on a day-to-day basis, most of us face more serious threats to our civil liberties – such as our rights to privacy and free speech – in our workplaces in the private sector."
1. There is no right to "free speech" and "privacy", only "life", "liberty", and "property" (if justly accquired).
2. As a system that uses coercion, and taxation, to achieve its ends, government violates these rights.
3.
