| Squilliam said: The real issue is bad government, not government = bad. If you had a government which functioned better, without petty self interest of various parties getting in the way which if it does intervene in the economy sets explicit time limits on that involvement then most of the complainsts would simply evaporate. |
Do you believe that government functions better or worse than society as a whole? If worse, then why is that? If better, than how do you expect it to be even better than it is now? If it is the same, then why would you expect it to be better? What is intrinsic in government to make it not get bogged down in petty self-interests?
By the way, I have seen private charity. It is FAR more humane than the government in helping those out who are in need.
