Oh, by all means Void, government is not perfect. It's primary problem is that it can be purchased by rich fucks who then use it to oppress the people even more.
Still, in the battle between rich and poor the poor have no where else to turn.
The government are responsible for propping up the rich! You know the increasing disproportion in means between the rich and poor, do you think it's just a coincidence that it started at the exact same time as Keynesian economics got pushed full force?
We would all be better off under a more free and fair system.
In the US we can precisely date the enormous shift of wealth to the upper 1% with the election of that senile old fuck, Reagan. It has been a steady disaster ever since as the rich get richer and the poor get told to go fuck themselves.
I'm all for a free and fair system. You advocate a "free" but intensely "unfair" system. Personally, I would hate to be living in a country which allowed rich fucks to do whatever they wanted. The US today is bad enough.
But these damn libertarians don't get that. They have this fantasy where the "private sector" is a benign force and the "public sector" is a cancerous tumor.
