No, we don't need to resort to violence, we just need to stop voting like idiots. A new party with a signed platform to reform campaigns, put term limits in for all govt offices, etc would address a lot of this "for profit" public service.
We could take the post office and turn it over to Fed Ex then take the tens of billions we save and use it to give every American the federal health insurance program. I don't see any politicians suggesting this, however.

actually the usps could run at a profit, but is hamstrung by congress requiring it to prepay its pension program 50 years out into the future, i.e., they have to estimate # of employees out to 2063 this year and pay into an account 100% of all those employees' pension plan dollars.
congress then takes that money and fritters it away on other things.
