Yeah, governments are always looking for ways to decrease their power and control over people and the marketplace.
:laugh: :laugh:
Therefore they can sit on the sidelines forever and harp on society for not being a libertopia, and never have to actually implement their policies.
Nobody said anything about a utopia, and ironically it you all who are seeking a utopia, thinking you can have just the right amount of government intervention and regulation and control over just the right amount of the marketplace. And what happens, the same thing that always happens, you guys sit on the sidelines and try to perfect your house of cards when the economy crumbles, people start losing their jobs, and the debts climber higher and higher. Always demanding change, and never getting it. Because you don't know what change is.
Pure Libertarians (who are in effect anarcho-capitalists) are people who cannot comprehend the long term consequences of the policies they promote.
If that isn't irony, I don't know what is.
