your question depends on which government you are speaking of, and who is talking.
eg. The very roots of american politics is that government is a necessary evil (not ideal, but needed to sustain political, social, and economic stability). This originates from texts composed by john Locke and Thomas Hobbes. Thus, the American motto is fitting: Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (emphasis on the individual).
However, the Canadian motto of "peace, order, and good government" reveals a different approach. The Canadian peoples have strong faith in its political institutions and see the state as a tool or instrument to live a better life. Thus, you can conclude that the Canadian government is seen as a positive good.

What do you think of Thomas Paine's view of government as a necessary evil?
It's a reasonably self-evident assertion. So far, there's never been a government that didn't to some extent, sooner or later, abuse at least some of its citizens; since the task of a government is to protect its citizens, this makes government "evil". Yet there's never been a human society which managed to function without government, which seems to make it "necessary". Thus, a necessary evil.
