What is actually wrong with state funded education, most people can't afford a private education you know, only the 1% can!

 

and what is wrong is with the welfare state?, it's acts like a safety net for those who are unfortunately unemployed or those who live in poverty.

The state creates unemployment and poverty, why should I listen to their ideas of solutions, when they're the ones who create the problem in the first place?

As for drugs, legalising them is the only way, government might as well collect taxes on it for other things, instead of wasting money on a phoney war on drugs and arresting people, legalising more popular drugs like pot is a good way of reducing the prison population, while reducing state spending too and the crime rate will drop, since the cartel will have to find other ways as effective as the drug trade to make excessive profits,  it's a win-win situation.

It takes money from one cartel (the Mexican ones), and gives it to another (the state). It's not win-win, it's a sideways movement. You honestly believe the prison population is going to decrease? With all this new weed-money in the state kitty? They're just going to use it to enforce other laws better. The way the system is set up, there's too much money in the prison world for their to ever be a sizeable decrease in the prison population.

Finally, do you really believe in a truely liberal economy? I don't as it ownly benefits the CEO's and executives of a company, while the poor are exploited for all it's worth and the environment is destroyed. i'm sorry, but there is not enough trust in these corporations to let them do whatever they want anymore, they need to be tamed. 

I do believe in a 100% capitalist economy. Zero Government. Nada. Corporations have nothing to do with capitalism, and are a product of the state. The environment would be protected just fine in a free society, thanks to property rights.
