By simple extrapolation, not exact, but good enough for government work, that means:
89% of the taxes collected are NonEssential and to extrapolate this further, 89% of the IRS is NonEssential (more like 100%).
89% of the Government spending is NonEssential.
89% of the Time Government steals from you in filling out forms and its regulations are NonEssential.
89% of the trouble you get in the mail from Government is NonEssential!
89% of it all is NonEssential! You get the picture.
Time to act against this 89% of the Government that's wasting 89% of OUR TIME AND MONEY!

Time to Close the Government to Close the Government | The American Spectator
– 12.30.14
Someone should remind it it doesn't know best.
The year is drawing to a close and we are supposed to be happy that the lame duck Congress survived its usual year-end brinkmanship and threats of a government shutdown. Horrors! What would the helpless people do if politicians weren’t able to legislate, regulate, and dictate in the “public interest”? Why, the republic would collapse.
Not!
The traditional civics book notion of government at all levels is that the state does for us what we cannot do for ourselves. That’s typically seen as creating the framework for a free society—police, courts, defense, basic health and safety, “public” goods which otherwise wouldn’t be provided.
If the state was this focused on its most important and basic tasks, we might notice if it closed. If you rely on government as a matter of necessity for something that truly matters, then it’s obvious when it’s not there.
Unfortunately, the state has turned into something very different. It’s now a welfare agency for the wealthy, a vast soup kitchen for special interests, an engine for social engineering at home and abroad, and a national nanny determined to run citizens’ lives.
