One of least thought out arguments I have ever seeen on VGChartz.  Goods and services should be provided by the most econimically efficient means, for private goods that means that a grocery 'lord' controls the food I buy, for public goods that means a road 'lord' collects taxes I pay and builds roads with them.

grocery stores are just evolved farmers markets.... which are public services run by a private business or farmer. There is no real grocery "lord" as they are controlled overall on a farmer's ability to produce. And really taxes aren't completely needed to run a country. If defense, education, etc are all put into the private sector most management needs will be left to a few people who listen to the people of the country versus the hundreds currently working in the federal and state levels of government.

Actually, there is a grocery lord. Its called the FDA and the USDA. They decide what you can and cannot do, which drives up the cost of goods. For example, you cannot sell unpasturized milk, and have sent people to jail over it.

well Utah passed a law recently allowing the sale of unpasturized "raw" milk, so I'd say that they aren't monarchs by any means, they are just lords that think they own land that believes they can pass laws that even monarchs will obey. The monarchs (states), just need to wake up and control their own land and people again while not allowing the federal government to stand in their way (which the fed really doesn't have the power to do so).
